Twilight Zone - Her Pilgrim Soul

Episode 12, 1st Story

A scientist is astonished when he somehow creates a hologram of a girl who has a life and history of her own unlike anyone he's ever met. He becomes fascinated with her, even as his marriage slowly crumbles in his obsession with work and with her. She ages in front of him, possibly a soul from another time. And in the climax, as she is about to leave him, old and greying, he realizes that she was his love from his past life, a love he lost then. and this was just a second chance for him to finally say goodbye to her, properly, so he could move on...



this was one twilight zone episode i remember soooo clearly, years and years after, burned in my memory. i cried that first time i watched it. i cried again. this, and another episode was the reason why i loved this series so much. and the ending is so beautiful.



im really a sappy creature. a love lost always tugs at my heart strings. and this was a love found in the twilight zone.

and if you never have happiness, you don't know what it's like to lose it

im sorry i couldn't embed the youtube video. embed feature was disabled. but you could view the episode "her pilgrim soul" in four parts

oh my... i love this episode of the twilight zone. i was surfing and saw this in your post. yes, i am sappy too and i cried to this episode. there's another T.Z. episode i love. It's the story of Charity Paine - a young girl during the Salem witch hunts who fell in love with a guy in the future. corny script but caused my eyes to well up in tears nonetheless. :-)

thank you for this short walk down memory lane.
