twin trouble or double jepardy
Born 1959, F, from Birmingham, United KingdomMy name is Lisa Worthington, I am nobody special, well I was not until the accident.
It all started when I was on my way to see a friend of mine. I had had a raging headache since yesterday (Thursday) teatime, and it still had not cleared up and it's lunch time Friday now.
I was just crossing the road when I had a terrific pain shoot through my head, before I knew what was happening a car hit me.
The next thing I remember was waking up in hospital.
There was a policeman sitting by my bed and when he saw I was awake he told the nurse who immediately fetched the doctor.
The doctor arrived very quickly and came straight to my bedside.
He told me that I was in hospital and that his name was Doctor John Lock.
Doctor Lock then asked me what I remembered, I tried to think, at first my mind was all misty, then it began to clear.
I told doctor Lock about my headache and everything going blank when the pain shot through my head and realising that a car was going to hit me.
While I told the doctor what I remembered the policeman wrote it in his notebook.
Then the doctor asked me my name. I told him my name was Lisa Worthington and it seemed to mean something to the doctor and the policeman.
Doctor Lock asked me if I was quite sure that I had the right name, and then he showed me the paper for Thursday, the day my headache started. It read "Lisa Worthington is wanted for questioning at the local police station in connection with the death of her friend".
I must have looked puzzled for the doctor said he would like to ask me a few questions to see what my answers were, I said alright.
First he asked me what the day was. I told him I was hit by the car Friday after my headache had started, that day would be February 16th 1982.
The doctor then looked very puzzled and said "but you were brought in yesterday after being hit by a car, and the date is March 30th 1983.
The policeman and the doctor had a quiet talk then left the room.
A little while later the doctor came back with another doctor who gave me an injection and asked me to count backwards from a hundred.
The next thing I remember was waking up counting 3.....2....1...
The two doctors and the policeman then went outside the room. The strange thing was although they had left the room, I could hear everything they said and thought.
I had killed my whole family and my friend, and under the drug they gave me, told them all about it. Yet I could not remember doing it.
Two days later I was sent to another hospital.
Here I saw and talked to many doctors who seemed very interested in my headaches and my ability to know what they said about me when they were not in the room.
After three days at this place a man was found dead with his neck broken. He was half over the wall. I later found out he was a male nurse from the hospital.
By the weekend I was being questioned about it, and I knew they held me responsible for what happened.
By June life in the hospital was carrying on as if what happened to the nurse had not happened at all.
Then in September everyone, even myself, became very aware of my ability to see things before they happen.
They have now become increasingly aware that what happened to the nurse had nothing or hardly anything to do with me.
The doctor said I was to go no where alone for any reason. Although they regularly tested me with a truth drug they knew I was keeping something back from them. They told me this and said it must be too painful to remember.
Then on the 6th of June 1984 my attendant disappeared and I kept seeing someone through my attendants eyes, she looked like me but it was not me.
The doctor put me in a secure room with doctor Thornton and locked the door. Nothing seemed real anymore. I started to tell him what I saw.
I see my attendant walking towards a wooden building with someone, a girl, dark hair, same clothes as mine. He keeps calling her Lisa and she is becoming angry.
I keep trying to send him thoughts.
Dr....What sort of thoughts
Me...Telling him not to anger her.
Dr....Why?
Me...She is dangerous.
Dr...Who is she?
Me....He keeps calling her Lisa but I'm Lisa not her, she does not like being called Lisa.
Dr...But who is she?
Me...They have just gone into the wooden building,
Dr...Where is it?
Me....lots of trees around and a pool with a boat, a big boat.
Suddenly the doctor picked up the phone and asked someone if they
Got that. And put the phone down.
Dr....Carry on,
Me....He is trying to humour me! her, he asks her what her name is.
She is shouting at him, I can not make out what.
Dr....go on,
Me....noise outside.
Dr....How do you know?
Me....They are both staring at the door, he moves towards the door, he is
Confused.
Dr....go on.
Me....No more, can not see, he is gone.
Dr....How do you mean gone.
Me....Can not see or hear, blackness, no life.
Dr....Relax now rest a little.
Me....What happened doctor? Have I killed someone else?
Dr....No you have not killed anyone, now rest.
The doctor left the room locking the door behind him. He seemed to be gone a lifetime. Then he came back and asked me if I felt strong enough to meet someone very close to me.
Dr....Bring her in. Two men came in and standing between them was a girl.
Me....She looks!...she's me!...oh no what are you doing to me, it can't be me.
Dr....Lisa, this is the girl who's been doing the killings.
Girl....Don't you know me Lisa, I'm your twin. No, I guess no one told you. We were Siamese twins and a doctor separated us when we were babies, the doctor told me because I was supposed to have died. But I survived and here I am. I have been following you around not sure if I should speak to you.
Me....Why did you kill all those people and our family.
Girl....They were not my family ! They were your family, they did not want me
Dr....Take her away.
Me....I do not understand what is happening to me, am I going mad.
Dr.... No Lisa, you're as sane as I am. After a rest I would like to look
Deeper in to this gift of yours.
Me.....Yes I'm very tired.
The doctor took me to a very nice house and introduced me to his
Family, who were very kind to me.
As I went to bed that night I heard the doctor and his wife talking, and I heard him say "I hope we can help her start anew, I know we are not her real family but we can try to bring her some comfort."
And you know last night was the first night I slept soundly and no one woke
me in the morning. I woke to the smell of roast beef cooking and a fresh sunny day.
