She taped the sessions to make sure that she was not guided into any sort of conclusion.

And she, Mary, let us go through her tapes.

Mary says that's the thing about the memories.

She had to not only go through the process of trying to verify if these memories are real, but also sort out which ones were manipulated by her parents and which ones were not.

So for example, there is one incident where Mary is certain that she had witnessed people being slaughtered.

She says this is when she was five years old.

She was told to stand outside the isolated family property.

They lived in the countryside.

They don't have any neighbors.

And all you can see is like the top of this random hill from the outside of the house.

She sees figures moving on the hill, mainly shadows.

I mean, clearly it's her dad and a few other men.

And there's like this wooden work table up there.

And quote, although I could not clearly see what they were doing, I could see that they had knives.

I was told that they were sacrificing unborn babies.

she says i was instructed to stay still for what seemed like a very long time and what i remember most vividly about this incident is just how much my feet hurt i was wearing tan saddle oxfords and white socks as young children often do you know i stood on the outer side of one foot and then on the other foot i squeezed my toes together as tight as i can i stood on my heels i tried anything to stop my feet from burning

She remembers all of these sensations vividly.

And she does remember seeing on this hill flesh, like a lot of flesh.

It looked at the time like young babies, fetuses being mutilated.

But that's when she's five.
