| | | | | Hypnotic Regression
The return of a person, under hypnosis, to an earlier age to recall or relieve detailed episodes of the past.
This regression to the past can be in the person's lifetime, and supposedly also in a previous life, if the regression goes back far enough.
The most famous hypnotic regression case is that of Bridey Murphy. In the early 50s Morey Bernstein, a Colorado businessman and skilled hypnotist, allegedly regressed Virginia Burns Tighe to her previous incarnation as Bridey Murphy, a woman living in Cork, Ireland, in 1806. As retold in Bernstein's book The Search for Bridey Murphy (1956), she recounted in vivid detail her former life in Cork.
Hypnotic regression is also extensively used in alien abduction cases, as a manner of getting to allegedly forgotten or erased memories from abductees.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
