The article focuses on the book "The Search for Bridey Murphy," by Morey Bernstein. Author Morey Bernstein hypnotized a neighbor's wife, a young lady of Ulster-German descent. In trance, Bernstein took her back to the year 1802 introduces the readers to a four-year-old Irish girl in Cork, Ireland named Bridey Murphy--the previous incarnation of his subject's soul. The transcript of the conversations with Bridey Murphy, who died at sixty-six of a fall downstairs, are the body of this book. The pseudo-scientific pretensions of the book depend on footnotes, appendices and the claim that the subject hypnotized could not have known what Bridey Murphy knew.
