This time I looked down and couldn't see any feet. In fact all I saw was a long green bell-shaped dress, and as I looked at my hands I realised I was in my late teens/early twenties.

Joanne asked me if there was a mirror, and if so to take a look at myself. As I looked in the mirror I saw that my hair was blonde and in ringlets and I had ribbons attached to it. I said I was single but that there was a love interest.

I said I had a mother and father who I could see in the drawing room and a brother I was fond of. When Joanne asked me if I worked, I said no, she then asked what I did with myself all day I laughed haughtily and said that I looked after the house and tended to the horses.

The strangest thing was that I was back in the house I had seen in the first instance. However this time it had no houses surrounding it and I believed it was the 1820s and again that I was not in this country, perhaps mid or South America.Joanne asked me if I would like to go back further and I said no. I felt I'd had enough.

Then it was time to bring me back. The strangest thing is that when I opened my eyes I was dumbfounded that I had come out with these tales. I would have thought if anything I would have said I was at least a princess!

After having past life regression part of me thought, and still thinks I made it all up, but another part was intrigued to find out more and so I hit the history books to see whether any of these facts added up.

Strangely enough I found out that patent shoes were highly fashionable in the 1920s, that during 1912 there was a strong documented military presence in Belgium.

The uniform I envisaged was exactly the same as those in the record books and also that during the 1800s dresses became bell-shaped with ribbons, bows and sashes becoming popular.

The weirdest part is that none of these facts were known to me before - that I was aware of.

So, do I believe in past life regression now? I am none the wiser. I still do not know if it is just the imagination playing tricks, or whether there is something in this.

If you'd ask me if having past life regression has affected me, I would have to say yes, in a way.

I have a sudden interest in history and if it does turn out to be true when I eventually go I wonder if I could come back next time as a racing driver!
