Colo. (UP) Murphy is out of touch. Mrs. Virginia Tlghe, 33. the Pueblo housewife who serves as Bridey's mouthpiece during ses sions of deep hypnosis, has goue into hiding until the excitement dies down. "The whole affair has wrecked our family life." her husband told the United Press. Mrs. Tighe left town last week end to gel away from the telephone calls and knocks at the door that have made life miserable since word got out that she is the 'Ruth Simmons" of the best- selling book "The Search For Brldey Murphy." The book, which has gone through 10 printings totaling more uian 2uo.ouo copies and has been serialized In newspapers in 60 cities, has started coast-to-coast fad. Hypnotists, amateur and profes- atonal, can hardly rest. People are pestering tnem to be "taken back to their previous existence. Men and women who i few months ago would have pooh poohed any talk of reincarnation are having a second thought. Could it be true after all that the spirit passes from one body to another? Can a previous life be recalled in a deep hypnotic trance? The fad is taken seriously by some, by others as a Joke. A 19-year-old boy In Oklahoma killed himself to find out for sure If he would be reborn. In Denver, invitations to a costume party were inscribed -'come as you were. The wags talk of a new TV program, "This Was Your Life." , DIFFERENCES OF OPINION Some dismiss Brldey Murphy as a deliberate hoax. Otiiers, includ ing many hypnotists who nave had the same experience with their subjects, believe the "previous existence" recalled by Mrs. Tlghe Is the work of her Imagination or perhaps trie memory of a bonk she once read or of stories told to her In childhood. In Pueblo, the Tighes ara In terested in only one previous life their own. the quiet one they enjoyed before Mrs. Tighe went through a series of age regression experunenta with a farm equip ment dealer and amateur hypnotist named Morey Bernstein. Under deep hypnosis Mrs. Tighe recalled events in her life dating back to the time she was one year old and then, a'icd to re member even farther Back, began telling of life as "Brldey Murphy" in Ireland more than 100 years aco. ! In his book Bernstein quoted the hypnotic interviews with Bridey and told of efforts he made to prove or disprove that such a woman actually lived between 1798 and 1864 in County Cork. He disguised Mrs. Tlghe as "Ruth Simmons" in his book but her identity became well known around Pueblo. THE (TKlOl S Tighe had his home telephone disconnected after so many people called asking if they could talk to Bridey Murphy. Dozens of calls came from reporters all over America and in "a lot of foreign countries." Tlghe disclosed. "Frankly," he said, "we both wish we'd never heard of Bridey Murphy." In Hew York, the nublishera of Bernstein's book are quite happy ! they heard of her. Doubleday k Co. had expected the usual rather limited response to a book about hypnotism. The first big demand came from California, and us popularity spread mora or less eastward across the country. Bernstein has sold movie rights on his book for $50,000, but has turned down all offers to go on radio and television. Lately he has made himself scarce, and "W as last reported in Cuba, vacationing. Dr. J. B. Rhine, the noted pan. psychologist at Duke University, believes the Bridey Murphy craze signifies a desire of the American people to know more about man's spiritual nature and destiny. 1) ASK FOR PURE-PAK BRAND WIENERS LUNCH MEATS TOP QUALITY Locally Made, from Inspocrad Mtort Unconditionally Guorontttdl At your local food sroro THE NEW OLYMPIA GROCERY 2123 Holly - Corner of Martin Your Friendly Grocery You can save more by trading here.
