The June 1938 edition of the Revue Spirite (Spiritualist Review) featured an account by Dr. Carmelo Samona, which reads:
“On March 15, 1910,” Dr. Samona writes, “my five-year-old daughter, Alexandrine, tragically passed away, leaving my wife and me heartbroken. Three days after her burial, my wife had a dream in which our little girl appeared, saying, ‘Mama, don’t cry anymore, I’m not far away. I will come back to you soon.’”
Three days later, my wife had the same dream again. Finding this strange, she shared it with her cousin, who gave her a book by Léon Denis about reincarnation, hoping to convince her that Alexandrine might be reborn into our family.
However, my wife remained unconvinced. Having recently undergone surgery for a miscarriage, she believed another pregnancy was impossible and continued to grieve for our daughter.
One morning, as our family was conversing, we suddenly heard three knocks at the door. My son rushed to open it, but found no one there, leaving us all baffled. These strange occurrences prompted my wife and me to attempt communication with the departed through a Ouija board.
That very first night, two spirits communicated with us. One identified itself as Alexandrine, and the other as Jeanne, my younger sister who had died at the age of 15. Jeanne explained that she was assisting Alexandrine in communicating with us. Alexandrine then announced that she would return to our family before Christmas.
From then on, we held séances every night. Our daughter’s spirit informed us that she could only stay for three months, after which she would have to reincarnate.
On April 10, 1910, my wife began to suspect she was pregnant.
On May 4th, Alexandrine’s spirit returned, revealing that she would be reborn alongside another soul, as twins.
Despite these announcements, my wife remained apprehensive, believing that even if Alexandrine were to be reborn, her appearance wouldn’t be the same. Jeanne, sensing her doubts, reassured her, “Adille (my wife’s name), don’t worry, the little one will not only be identical to Alexandrine but even more beautiful.”
In August, the doctor confirmed that my wife was indeed pregnant, and with twins!
On January 22, 1911, my wife gave birth to twin girls. They were distinctly different in complexion and features, but one of them was the spitting image of our Alexandrine.”
