Case[]
Details: Eighteen-year-old Paige Roark left her Fall Brook, California home to go out with friends on April 14, 1984. Six hours later, she and one of her friends died after a drunk driver smashed into their car. Her mother, Cynthia, along with the rest of the family, was understandably heartbroken. She tried to overcome her grief by running, which was something that she always did with Paige in the morning.
Two days after the crash, Cynthia left her house at 5am. After running for an hour and as dawn was breaking, she saw rays of sunshine come through the trees. She heard Paige's voice say that she was with God and that she was fine. She felt a great sense of peace and happiness because she knew Paige was okay.
Cynthia was shocked to learn that her mother, Dorothy, had an even more vivid experience. She heard Paige's voice say "I love you Grandma" and saw her as a ghost. Paige told her that she was okay and that she would take care of "Mommom", Dorothy's mother.
Dr. Melvin Morse looked into this case and believes that Cynthia and Dorothy's visions were real. Dr. Barry Beirstein, a psychologist, disagrees. He believes that the people are honest--but it only seemed real and did not actually happen. Despite this, the Roarks are certain that Paige visited and helped comfort them.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the May 4, 1994 episode, about after death visits, along with that of John and Patti Eggleston.
