In the late nineteenth century, a strange and unique experience happened to a young French farmer. Witnessed by both the farmer's wife and a local French physician, the strange occurrence remained a mystery throughout both their lives. Nearly a hundred years later, a newly graduated doctor of psychology discovered the physician's documentation of the bizarre event in some old papers that had been preserved over the years. Unbeknownst to the psychologist, the event was about to repeat itself in the life of a similarly young American.
