'Dead girl' comes back to life, knows SECRETS she shouldn't The reincarnation of Dorothy Eady · Crime and Horror

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A nineteen seventy nine New York Times article described her
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: story as being quote one of the Western world's most
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: intriguing and convincing cases of reincarnation. I myself am not
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a huge believer in reincarnation, mostly because any of the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: stories I've heard, there's no modern day corroboration of fact.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But in Dorothy Edies case, or as she became known
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: onm Seti's case, she has a number of things that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: line up with her story, with her life long story,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that she in fact was from ancient Egypt and was
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: actually a priestess in ancient Egypt times, and some of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: her discoveries are pretty incredible, and frankly, Egyptologists and historians
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that have looked at this case have spent decades trying
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to prove that she was lying, but can't. She had
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: information that she shouldn't have had that begins to make
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you wonder maybe she really was reincarnated. Before we get started,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: if you could please gently destroy the light button and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: then go ahead and hit subscribe and turn on all notifications,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that would be great. I'm gonna be posting a ton
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of content just like this as many times a week
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: as I can. I'm aiming for three, if not four,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: every week going forward, so please come along. The too long,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: didn't read version of this story is you have Dorothy Edie, who,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: as a child, has a.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Near death experience.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: When she kind of comes back, she believes that she
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is no longer home, that her home is somewhere else.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: She starts having dreams about this place. She describes this
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: garden and this big building, and then eventually she discovers
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that what she's describing is a place in ancient Egypt,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and she ends up becoming obsessed with ancient Egypt and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: then begins providing information and helping with archaeological digs that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: leads to numerous incredible discoveries, all from memories that she
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: claims to have had from her previous life. Even if
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you don't believe in reincarnation and this whole story seems
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like totally made up, just listen to how the story
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: flows and then try to make sense of how in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the world she had the information she had that led
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to distinct discoveries that nobody else had made. That they
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: found this stuff as a result of Dorothy Edie's information.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: How do we reconcile that it's not impossible but no
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: one's been able to do it yet, so let's see
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: what you think. Dorothy Edie was born into a lower
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: middle class family in London in nineteen oh four. She
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was an only child and she was absolutely adored by
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: her parents. Now, unfortunately, when she was three years old,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: she fell down a flight of stairs in her home
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and was unconscious. They called the doctor and the doctor
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: shows up and says she's actually dead. As the parents
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: are talking to the doctor, after about an hour, Dorothy
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: gets up and goes into her bedroom and is like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: playing on her bed and the parents come in with
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a doctor. They can't make any sense of it, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in fact, the parents were furious at the doctor or
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: pronouncing her dead because they're like, obviously she wasn't if
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: she's just fine now, like who are you? What kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of doctor are you?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But the doctor swears she was dead.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Shortly after the accident, Dorothy develops a strange accent that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they can't quite place, and doctors and specialists believe that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: she's suffering from something called foreign accent syndrome, which is
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: fairly common amongst people with significant head injuries. Basically, it
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: alters her speech and to people that don't know any better,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they might think the use of a strange foreign accent.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Dorothy also started telling her parents about this recurring dream
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: she had where she'd be near this huge building with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: these big pillars, and she'd be in this beautiful garden.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She loved this garden. She talked about the beautiful flowers
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and her friends that were there, and it was just
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this unbelievable place. It was like this oasis next to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this building. But she didn't know where it was. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: she's three four years old, so she's not able to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: articulate much what this is. But she was just in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: love with this garden in this location in her dreams,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and she talked about it endlessly. Dorothy's mother would find
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: her daughter on her bed, either before she went to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: sleep or when she woke up, crying because Dorothy longed
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to actually be in this place in her dreams. When
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: she started calling home now, Dorothy's mother would say, but Dorothy,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're home now, and she would say, no, I'm not home.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: My home is in that garden. It's near that building.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And no matter how Dorothy's mother tried to kind of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: convince her that no, honey, you live here now, you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: live here, You've never lived anywhere else. Dorothy was unbelievably
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: convinced that what she was seeing in her dreams was
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: her actual home. It was around this time that Dorothy's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: parents brought Dorothy to a British museum where they had
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a big ancient Egyptian exhibit set up. And when they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: went into the museum, Dorothy sees this exhibit and she's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: immediately at to it, and as she gets close to her,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: she starts seeing the you know, statues of the pharaohs
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and pictures the pyramids, and she sprints in into the exhibit,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: runs away from her parents, and she's running to the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: different statues of the pharaohs and of the Sphinx and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: all of these different icons from ancient Egypt, and she's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: kissing their feet and she's sobbing hysterically, and she's she's yelling,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm home, I'm home, I'm with my people. This little
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: tiny kid is having this revelation that she's found home,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and she refused to leave the museum. Finally, her parents,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, get her to calm down. They're pretty embarrassed
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: with people like looking at them like, what's going on
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with your child?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: She finally leaves with her parents.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But at this point, now Dorothy has attached that place
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in her dreams that she longs to go with the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: beautiful garden, She's attached it to Egypt, to ancient Egypt,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and so she becomes completely obsessed with ancient Egypt. Her
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: obsession with ancient Egypt started to get her in trouble
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: when she'd go to Sunday school. Her family is a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: very very devout Catholic family. She would compare Catholicism to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: other ancient Egyptian religions. That got her in a lot
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of trouble and in fact, they said, you can't come
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to Sunday school anymore. Then she got expelled from her
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Catholic school because she refused to sing a number of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the hymns that in some way disparaged Egyptians, ancient Egyptians.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: She was also told that she could no longer attend
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Sunday mess for the same reasons. She was basically not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: welcome anymore. At six years old, Dorothy, who knew how
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to write and read in English, started to take a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: keen interest in hieroglyphics, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and she said that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they were definitely familiar.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: To her, but she had forgotten how.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: To read it. When she was seven, she was looking
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: through a textbook and she saw a picture of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Temple of Seti the First, which is an Abidos Egypt.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And as soon as she saw the picture, it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a big picture of the temple and then to kind
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of like the broken remains of what looks like maybe
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a garden of some kind, and.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: She immediately said, that is my home.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm from, right there, Temple of Seti the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: First and abide Us Egypt, that's my home. And as
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: she's looking at the picture and she's looking at those
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: kind of tattered, you know, broken remains, I mean, this is.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Thousands of years old.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: She's looking at the area next to this big temple
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: in the picture, and she's like, that's the garden. But
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: where are the trees? Where is everything? Why does it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: look like this? Like she didn't understand that that was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: thousands of years ago, that it was a garden, but
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: she saw the picture and immediately knew it as her home.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Also in the textbook was the picture of the pharaoh
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Seti the First, who the temple was named after, And
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: when she saw the picture of the very well preserved mummy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: She was overcome because she claimed to have known him personally.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: At age ten, Edie was kind of discovered by world
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: renowned egyptologist E. A. Wallace Budge, who offered to teach
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: her how to read and write hieroglyphics, which she picked
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up almost instantly starting at fourteen. In addition to that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: recurring dream of the Temple of Seti and the garden
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: right next to the Temple of Seti that she claimed
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was her home, she started having a recurring nightmare where
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: she in her former life was in this subterranean enclosure
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and she was being questioned by a high priestess who
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was demanding that she answered her questions, and when she refused,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: she was beaten. At twenty seven years old, Edie meets
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: an Egyptian man and falls in love with him. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: also I'm sure on some levels she was marrying him
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to secure Egyptian residency, because as soon as they got married,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: they moved right back to Egypt where she could be
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a resident. And actually when they landed in Egypt, the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: first thing she did, she's overcome with emotion when she lands,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and she starts kissing the ground and crying and.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Saying I'm home, home home.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Dorothy and her Egyptian husband have a son, and they
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: name him Seti, just like the Pharaoh SETI. Once Edie
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: moved to Egypt, she started, by her account, getting visits
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: from an entity known as Horrah now Horah, she claimed
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was the spirit of the Pharaoh SETI the First. She
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: would get into these almost trance like states at night.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Over that first year she.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Was in Egypt.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It was like she'd be sleeping, but then she would
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: get up and be in this trance and she would
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: start frantically writing in hieroglyphics in the middle of the night,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and her husband would wake up and he would see
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: her doing this, and she was like, you couldn't stop her.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He couldn't communicate with her. She was just in a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: trance recording what she was claiming. Horah was telling her,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was dictating to her that she needed to write down,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and it was in fact about who she used to be.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: She used to be, according to Horah, a woman by
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the name of ben Trashet, who lived three thousand years
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: earlier in the time of Pharaoh Steady the First, and
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: who lived in the Temple of Seti in and around
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that garden. So after a year of her going into
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: these trances in writing in hieroglyphics, she had over seventy
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: pages of transcript of what she claims was her story,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and it goes like this. Before being born as Dorothy Edie,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: she was an Egyptian woman named ben Trashet. Her father
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was a soldier and her mother was a vegetable seller
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: who actually died when she was just three years old.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Unable to care for her, ben Ushet's father placed her
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: in the temple of calm El Sultan. She was then
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: raised at the temple, where she later became a priestess.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: When she was twelve years old, ben Trasheid was given
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: two choices, either venture out into the world on her
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: own or become a consecrated virgin and stay at the temple.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Ben Ushet decided to take.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The vows, but a few years later she meets Pharaoh
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: SETI the First and end up falling in love, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: soon she becomes pregnant. When she is discovered to be pregnant,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: she was interrogated by the high priest and beaten when
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: she refused to answer a scene that corresponded to her
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: childhood nightmare. Unwilling to put her beloved Seti through a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: public scandal, ben Turshet took her own life. Edie's husband
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: grew increasingly disturbed watching his wife go into these trances
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and write out the hieroglyphics. I mean, she's amassing all
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: these pages of hieroglyphics. Her whole thing was just too
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: much for him, and so he ultimately filed for divorce
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty six. Following the divorce, Dorothy and her
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: young son leave and go live in another town near
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Giza Pyramids, and she starts going by the name
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: am Seti, which means mother of Seti, so she doesn't
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: go by doroth Ede anymore. And at this point she
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: also takes a job with Egypt's Department of Antiquities, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: she begins a very lengthy and highly successful career in Egyptology.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: For nearly twenty years, am Setti would research almost exclusively
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the Temple of Seti the first and learn everything about
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not only the temple but the people who lived there,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: because it was where she believed she used to live.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But it wouldn't be until nineteen fifty two, when she's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: almost in her fifties, that she finally actually steps foot
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in a Bidas and it was because of a job
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: transfer that put her there, and in fact, she took
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a pay cut to get this job. She was so
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: desperate to just finally step foot in the place that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: she believed was her old home. As soon as she
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: walked into the temple, the first thing she says is,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's as if I've lived here before. And she quickly
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: sets up a office in one of the temple rooms
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and spends almost all of her time there. And she
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: even befriends a cobra and feeds the cobra daily and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just has this cobra friend that just hangs out with her,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: which no one could make any sense of. You know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: lots of rumors swirled around whether this woman was saying
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: but because her contributions to Egyptology were so pronounced and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: so useful, that she was very highly regarded. But of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all of her accomplishments, of all of the things that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: she did, the thing that she is most known for
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is when she was able as soon as she got
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to the Temple of Study, the first I identify exactly
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: where the garden was or on SETI she'd been having
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: dreams of this garden her whole life. And so she
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: very quickly said, if you dig here, you're gonna find
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: this garden. And sure enough they dug down and there
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: was the garden, and in fact, she had described the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: layout of the garden, what trees were where, what types
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of treats were there.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And it was all confirmed.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And once they dug it up. She was also instrumental
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in identifying where to dig on the north side of
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the temple, where she said there was a tunnel that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: ran underneath.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It was a secret tunnel, and sure enough.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: They dug down there was the tunnel. You know, that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was something that they had never seen before. Only she
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: knew about it, and there was no way she would
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: have known about it without prior knowledge. In addition, she
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: also pointed researchers to search in a specific area, in
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: an area known as the Valley of the Kings for
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a tomb, a long forgotten tomb, and sure enough, almost
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: exactly where she described there was, in fact a tomb
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that had never been discovered before. As much as other
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Egyptologists did not want to accept olm Steadi's claims that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: she had been reincarnated and that's why she has all
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this knowledge, they wanted frankly, it to be just the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: ramblings of a crazy person, and it to just be
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: some elaborate hoages, But they couldn't deny the fact that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: she had intimate knowledge of certainly everything that ever happened
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: at the Temple of Study, the first in the time
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: frame that she claimed to have been living there three
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: thousand years prior. Fascinatingly, right before she died, when she
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: was eighty one, she said that there was a secret
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: underneath the Temple of Study. The first. There's a secret chamber,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a secret within that secret chamber, but no one's ever
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: gone down there. No one knows where to begin to look,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and so without on SETI guiding them, it may be
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: one of those things that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: We'll just never know.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So without any sort of rational explanation for how she
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: would have had all this knowledge or understanding of an
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: ancient culture, it leaves skeptics wondering. I mean, is this
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: potentially a real case of reincarnation or is there a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: better explanation? And I'd love to hear what you think
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in the comments. So that's going to do it. Guys,
