Seth went on to say that in her next life, Sally was reborn as a woman of some artistic merit in a very successful existence, also in Italy. [...]

He went on to say that the name of the original Italian town was something like Ventura, was located in southeastern Italy, and that a tragic train wreck occurred in the area just after the 1930’s.
