This week, Jen takes us to England for the story of the Pollock Twins—a case that’s often called the best modern example of reincarnation. After two sisters were killed in a car accident, their parents later had twin girls who seemed to remember details of a life they never lived. Creepy coincidence or proof of something bigger?

Meanwhile, Em dives into encephalitis lethargica, the so-called “sleeping sickness” that left thousands of people trapped between waking and dreaming in the early 1900s. Some were frozen in place for decades, almost like living ghosts.

Two different kinds of hauntings—one rooted in memory, the other in the body.
