I originally asked this in question time but someone told me it probably wasn't the right place for it - I don't know if this is either.
Just wondering if any of you guys might be able to help.
I remember reading an article a few years ago about an elderly couple who had miscarried their first child 40 years earlier. Then about ten years ago a stranger, in his thirties knocked on their door claiming he was infact that child. He said that he didn't know how but he believed he was from a different "reality" and in that "universe" he had in fact been born. In his story he had a brother and a sister (neither of whom existed). He had also been obsessed with a woman who he claimed was actually his wife and to whom he believed he had a son.
When interviewed he was able to discuss his perceived life and even detail intimate and accurate knowledge about the lives of his pseudo-parents and his pseudo-wife. I think he was later found dead on a river bank.
I can't find anything about it now and my question is; does any one here remember reading this story or are you aware of any similar strange cases like this?
