Morey Bernstein (1919-1999), Colorado businessman, amateur hypnotist, and author of the book, The Search for Bridey Murphy. In 1952 Bernstein hypnotised Virginia Tighe, a Colorado housewife, who regressed into a 'former existence' as a 19th century Irishwoman named Bridey Murphy. In 1956 he published a book on the subject, giving Tighe the pseudonym of Ruth Simmons. The book was a bestseller and caused a sensation, though the so-called 'reincarnation' was later discredited.
