In 1907, after a short illness, which according to local Haitian beliefs is similar to the transformation of a person into a zombie, a certain Felicia Felix-Mentor died. And already in 1936, the same woman was found on the street, dressed according to some sources in rags, and according to others she was completely naked. Despite some controversy, all eyewitnesses claimed that the woman was covered in mud from head to toe. The lady, closing her eyes and muttering inarticulate phrases under her breath, dragged her mortal body towards the farm that once belonged to her father. In a living corpse, local residents recognized Filicia Felix-Mentor, buried 29 years ago, and her widowed husband confirmed the lady's identity.
The woman was immediately put into a psycho. hospital, where, according to some, she lived the rest of her life, and according to others - one fine day she simply disappeared from the room upholstered with felt. The report of her attending physician states: “The patient suffers from manic-depressive disorder and uncontrollable fits of laughter. A woman speaks about herself in the third, then in the first person and is constantly confused in dates and events. In moments of clarification of consciousness, she said that it was 1906 and begged to let her go home to her husband."
Another interesting fact, according to the X-ray study, her skeleton was in excellent condition, despite the fact that the real Filicia had a broken leg in two places. Other examinations also did not reveal any abnormalities, except that the woman was in excellent physical shape and was … a virgin, and several scars on her body also disappeared without a trace. “One gets the impression that this middle-aged woman was born a few weeks ago,” a doctor who examined Filicia once said.
The mentally ill patient was recognized as a close relative of Filicia Felix-Mentor, despite the fact that the woman's identity was confirmed by her husband and the fact that Filicia was the only child in the family.
