Audrey Rose

Bill Templeton and his wife Janice have an 11-year-old daughter, Ivy. Ever since infancy, the youngster has been troubled by dreadful nightmares. Janice and Bill notice that a strange man has been observing Ivy as she travels back and forth to her school. Soon after the stranger identifies himself as Elliot Hoover, a metallurgist whose wife and 5-year-old daughter - Audrey Rose - died in a fiery automobile crash 11 years ago. Hoover states that a clairvoyant has convinced him that Ivy is the reincarnation of Audrey Rose. He vows that it is his firm conviction that Ivy was born 2 minutes after Audrey burned to death in the car crash and that her soul is in torment because it returned to life too soon. Bill and Janice refuse to accept his theory.
