I'm Dom Bettinelli and joining me today is Jimmy Aiken. Hey Jimmy!

How do you, Dom. In 1984, author Joe Fisher came into contact with an unusual woman.

Leukemia patient, she had turned to hypnosis to help with health and pain management. While under hypnosis, she began to receive messages from

spiritual guides. Soon Joe Fisher was part of a group that was regularly attending her sessions,

and Joe got to know his own guide, a woman named Philippa,

with whom he had shared an incarnation in 18th century Greece. But Joe was a paranormal author

and investigator, and the guides encouraged his ambitious plan to travel internationally and verify that the guides had really lived as the historical individuals they claimed to be, so that he could validate their

important messages. So what happened when Joe Fisher went to check out their

claims? What evidence did he discover and what did he eventually conclude?

That's what we'll be talking about on this episode of Jimmy Aikens mysterious world.

Jimmy, what do we need to say to begin today's mystery?

Well, this is a very compelling story and there's a lot to say about it.

It has quite a number of twists and turns in it.

So this is going to be the first part of a two-parter.

Today we'll start telling you what happened and then next week will tell you how it ended,

what Joe Fisher concluded about his experiences and what I'd make of it from the faith and

reason perspectives.

So Jimmy, who is Joe Fisher?
