Leigh Erceg on ABC Nightline
15 May 2015

For most of her life, Leigh Erceg was an athlete who loved NASCAR, a bubbly tomboy who worked on a ranch in remote northwestern Colorado. She had boyfriends and a degree in physical education and zero interest in math or art. A few years ago, Erceg, 47, suffered a traumatic brain injury and now she is a gifted artist and poet. She enjoys spending time puzzling over mathematical equations. She can “see” sounds and “hear” colors when she listens to music, although she is extremely sensitive to light. She remembers nothing about her prior life. She doesn’t even recognize her own mother. The story is told in the agency’s title Both Sides, Now: The Leigh Erceg Story by Maureen Seaberg and Leigh Erceg.

Leigh will be on ABC ‘Nightline’ tonight at 12:35 a.m. Eastern Time.
