S3E2: When Reincarnation Leaves a Paper Trail | The Reincarnation Records

Carol Bowman, a mother turned researcher of children’s past-life memories, begins with a question she can’t shake: if children are carrying memories from another life, could talking about them help them heal? When a frightened mother calls about her three-year-old son Blake, Carol gets a chance to find out. After months of unexplained pain, withdrawal, and memories of being killed by a truck, one conversation appears to change him overnight. The experience propels Carol onto the national stage and brings stories from families across America pouring in. But healing is one thing. Evidence is another. Years later, Carol encounters the kind of case she has been searching for: a young Louisiana boy plagued by nightmares of dying in a burning airplane. He begins offering specific details about a World War II pilot, an aircraft carrier, fellow servicemen, and where he says he was shot down. His Christian father sets out to find another explanation, until his investigation begins uncovering names, military records, eyewitnesses, recognitions, and a dead pilot whose life appears to match his son’s memories. When a child’s story comes with names, records, witnesses, recognitions, and a paper trail, does that mean reincarnation is real? Or is something else giving these children access to information they seemingly could not know? _______ Join The Telepathy Tapes Backstage Pass https://thetelepathytapes.supercast.com/ to get ad-free episodes, never-before-heard interviews, behind-the-scenes documentary footage, and access to our private Discord community.

  Hey, everyone. This is Kai Dickens, and you're listening to The Reincarnation Records from TTT Media.

• 0:43Ky Dickens?

  Welcome back to episode two of this series. Last week, we met Carol Bowman, whose five-year-old son Chase described being a soldier on a battlefield.

• 0:51Speaker 02

  Chase started talking in the first person tense. I'm a soldier. I have a uniform on. It's dirty. I have a big gun with a sword at the end.

• 1:02Ky Dickens?

  After Chase talked through that memory, something extraordinary happened. His terror of loud booming sounds disappeared, and the severe eczema on his wrist, in the same place where he remembered being shot, cleared up within days. The event was so powerful and perplexing that for Carol, it was the beginning of a much larger question. Could some children's fears, phobias, and even physical symptoms be connected to memories they carried from a past life? And if so, could speaking about those memories help them heal? This question launched Carol on a multi-year search for other American families and evidence that healing was possible.

• 1:38Speaker 02

  I started taking these cases seriously and writing everything up. I wrote a few articles, and I had that ad in Mothering Magazine. And the cases were trickling in. And I was excited with every case that came my way, of course. You know, they were all little gems for me. And at the same time, I started graduate school. I just felt I need the background in counseling to be able to be taken seriously, too.

• 2:08Ky Dickens?

  Carol's family had just moved to Philadelphia from North Carolina. She was doing all the research on the side while also going to school and raising her kids.

• 2:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, we were in turmoil for a little while.

• 2:18Ky Dickens?

  Carol was trying to bring children's past life memories into the mainstream in the 90s, with no roadmap, no cultural permission, no internet or social media to find her people, and very little reason to believe that anyone would take her seriously.

• 2:31Speaker 02

  I didn't know how I was going to jump from not being a writer to being a writer. I'd never written anything more than a college paper.

• 2:40Ky Dickens?

  Even people who consider themselves writers find that authoring a book is daunting. And for Carol, whose time was being consumed with this mission, she needed to figure out how to make the work financially viable. And for that, she needed an agent.

• 2:51Speaker 02

  I kept getting rejection letters from agents. Who'd want to read this?

• 2:56Ky Dickens?

  However, when you're pushing against an accepted worldview or paradigm, there's often one person or moment that makes turning back impossible.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  I guess there was an event that really pushed me over the edge.

• 3:07Ky Dickens?

  A family came along who needed help. And unlike many of the cases we'll explore this season that are filled with evidential names and places, dates, and hobbies, and details that can actually be checked against the life of a real person who lived, this case was more ambiguous, but it was more reflective of the kinds of cases that Carol was actually hearing from parents all over the country. Confusing and emotional, difficult to prove, but deeply real and distressing to the people living through it. And so this family enters our story not because the case was easy to validate against a real life, but because Carol's work with them would not just end up changing the child's life, but the course of Carol's.

• 3:44Speaker 02

  In 1992, I got a phone call from a mother in Chicago, Colleen, whose son was having what she believed were past life memories that were deeply troubling him.

• 3:53Ky Dickens?

  Colleen had found Carol through an ad she put in Mothering Magazine.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  I'm Colleen Hocken. I live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. And my thoughts on reincarnation were, I had heard of it just slightly, and I thought it was pretty weird. Like, how could you be born again? I was thinking, you're in the same body, you know, how would that work? So I thought it was like a very strange idea.

• 4:17Ky Dickens?

  Colleen had three sons. Blake was the middle child. And before the age of three, there was nothing really unusual about him.

• 4:24Speaker 03

  He was a very fun, happy-go-lucky kid, always playing. He has two brothers, an older and a younger. So the three boys, they're always playing, you know, and having a good time. He was just very active, very climbing. You're a typical three-year-old little boy, happy.

• 4:47Ky Dickens?

  Then, one day, Colleen was in her kitchen, when Blake shouted toward the street.

• 4:52Speaker 03

  So the first time he mentioned something, he was at the front door. I was in the kitchen, and I heard him yell out the door, Trevor, which is his older brother, get out of the street. The bus is coming. So I went to the door right away to make sure Trevor's okay. And when I got to Blake, he had his hand on his ear. He said his ear hurt. And so I said, well, why does your ear hurt? I'm thinking he has an ear infection or something. And he said, a truck hit me. And right away, I'm confused. And I'm, well, who hit you with a truck?

• 5:29Ky Dickens?

  Here's Carol Bowman again.

• 5:30Speaker 02

  Colleen assumed he was confused and meant a child had hit him with a toy truck in preschool. When she questioned him, he said, no, a real truck.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  He said, no, a big truck. I said, a big truck that drives on the street? And he said, yeah. You know, I'm thinking, did something happen with a babysitter or whatever? And I said, well, where were you? And he said, in the street. And I said, well, where were Mom and Dad when this happened? Gone bye-bye at the store. So I'm trying to put it together. Like, what in the world is he talking about? I'm thinking, well, maybe he saw something on TV. So I was like, oh, this happened on TV, right? And he said, no, it happened in the street. And now he was irritated with me. Like, don't you know this happened? And I said, well, where were you hurt? And he pointed to his left side and all over. And

• 6:22Speaker 03

  then he said, the wheels went over him. And he took his arms and just like waved over his head, looking up like he could see from, like, the wheels going over him, on top of him. And he was hurt all over, he said. And so I said, did you die? Because I'm thinking, well, now he'll have to say that's silly. And he just said, very matter of fact, yes. He just said, yes, he died. He's not being silly about it. He really never made up stories anyway. But I'm thinking, well, if he thinks he died, then how could he be here? And so I thought, I'm just gonna, like, ignore it.

• 6:59Ky Dickens?

  Kids do sometimes say really weird things that parents dismiss, and Colleen didn't want to encourage it. But as we'll discover over the course of this series, these memories don't usually need prompting or questions. Kids bring them up on their own.

• 7:12Speaker 03

  About a week later, a garbage truck went past the house, and he said, that's like the truck that hit me. And I was like, wow, that's okay. It's not going away. He still remembers this. It's not just a story. But again, I thought, okay, well, we won't talk about it. And we didn't.

• 7:35Ky Dickens?

  And although the family stopped talking about the truck, something in Blake appeared to change, and it wasn't good.

• 7:41Speaker 03

  He really had a complete personality change from playing and running and jumping. And he'd be just sit on the couch, kind of stare at the TV, or stare out the window, or just not really engage with his two brothers who might be playing. He kept telling me, his head hurt, his arm hurt, his leg hurt. And so I thought, oh, well, he just wants attention. So I'd say, oh, well, would you like me to rub that for you? Or, no, go away.

• 8:08Ky Dickens?

  Blake was not just withdrawn. He was angry. And the anger was aimed directly at his mother. And she didn't know why. Nothing had happened between them that would explain it, but whenever she tried to comfort him, he pushed her away.

• 8:20Speaker 03

  Is this this big middle child syndrome? I did not put two and two together as far as anything to do with what he told me about the truck hitting him. I'm just thinking, I must be doing something wrong. Where have I gone wrong as a mother? His demeanor was very flat. He really couldn't sustain any energy towards playing. I would even put on music.

• 8:43Speaker 03

  And the kids would get up and dance and we'd all dance and bop around. And he might do it for 30 seconds and then he'd sit down and he'd be done. The other two boys would still be dancing and, "Come on Blake." And no, he would just sit on the couch, thumb in his mouth, just a very blank look on his face, not engaged. I felt that he was clinically depressed. How can a three-year-old be clinically depressed when there's nothing that happened that would cause it? And I would say, "Blake, I love you." And he'd say, "I love you, then I hate you." And I'd think, gosh, so he's angry at me? I don't know why. I just was so confused. I did not know what to do with him.

• 9:26Ky Dickens?

  And I think it's fair to interject here, especially as a parent. The kids have big feelings all the time. They get really moody and they say things they don't mean or that don't even make sense. And they melt down a lot over things that seem tiny to parents. But what Colleen was describing felt different. Her son had a personality shift. He became depressed and withdrawn and never went back to his happy, playful baseline, like most kids do, often in minutes, if not hours. So, Colleen, did you take him to a therapist?

• 9:53Speaker 03

  I did not take him to any therapist. I felt a lot of guilt and shame probably was the biggest reason. How do I go into a therapist? And will they think I've done something wrong? Will they blame me? I was very afraid, very ashamed.

• 10:10Ky Dickens?

  And this situation lasted for months. Blake is depressed? He's complaining about the left side of his head and arm and leg hurting? Here's Carol Bowman again.

• 10:18Speaker 02

  She took Blake to the doctor, but there was nothing physiologically wrong with him. It wasn't until some months later, when the family took a trip to London, that Colleen started putting the pieces together.

• 10:28Ky Dickens?

  That's coming up after this break.

• 10:32Ky Dickens?

  A cold shower is one thing when you choose it. It's another when your water heater quits halfway through washing your hair. Suddenly, you're looking for a contractor and wondering how much this is going to cost. Emergency home repairs can get really expensive and regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover everyday wear and tear. That's where HomeServe comes in. HomeServe offers different protection plans for things like plumbing, heating and cooling, or electrical systems, with options starting at just $4.99 a month. Choose a plan that fits your needs and budget. When something covered by your plan goes wrong, call their 24/7 hotline to start the repair process. It's one less thing to figure out when life is already full. I remember when we first moved into our house right after COVID and all of a sudden the furnace system broke down. I wish I'd had HomeServe then. It would have been such a help and given us such peace of mind for all those small

What causes skin to age in the first place? Founded by four PhD longevity scientists, they studied skin at the cellular level and found that visible skin aging starts deeper when certain cells stop working the way they should and begin affecting the healthy cells around them. So they engineered OS1, their proprietary peptide, to work with skin's biology, targeting those dysfunctional cells instead of just sitting on the surface.

• 11:59Ky Dickens?

  Over time, that means firmer, smoother skin, more even tone and radiance, and visibly fewer lines. I've been loving their new OS1 Face Rich Cream, which I use morning and night. I've been in the sun a lot lately and my skin's been feeling dry. This cream locks in moisture and leaves my skin feeling so soft and firm. Over time, I've noticed my fine lines look less visible and my skin feels healthier. I've even gifted it to friends and they love it, too. Born from over 10 years of longevity research, OneSkin is helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.

• 12:42Ky Dickens?

  Welcome back to the reincarnation records.

• 12:44Speaker 03

  We went on a family trip to London for Christmas. So that was in December. And we were shopping with all the Christmas bustle and everything. And we had the three boys. And Blake was actually in the stroller that his younger brother Dane would normally be in. It was one of those umbrella strollers, so there's nothing in front of him. And we stopped on this traffic, this island. So all the people were crammed in on the island. You really couldn't even move. And the traffic police blew her whistle. Everybody had to stop to let traffic come through. A truck came around the corner, was going to come past us.

• 13:26Speaker 03

  Blake stood up and stood right in the street in front of the truck. And he just stood there, kind of blank. Like, we're yelling, "Blake, Blake, get back." I tried to reach him, but my arms weren't long enough. My husband grabbed him, pulled him back. And it was so frightening.

• 13:48Speaker 03

  The truck driver slammed on his brakes, beeped, yelled at us to watch our bloody child that's swearing in England, bloody. And it was so scary.

• 14:00Ky Dickens?

  And I want to pause here again to say that three-year-olds can be very impulsive and they certainly can step into danger without understanding what they're doing. But what Colleen describes is not a child chasing a ball or trying to balance on a yellow traffic line. Blake stood up from his stroller, walked in front of an oncoming truck, faced it head on while staring it down. And obviously, we don't know what was happening inside of his mind. But to Colleen, it did not feel like ordinary toddler impulsivity. It somehow felt connected to the memory he'd been repeating for months. And one thing I've learned, working especially on the telepathy tapes, is often mothers just have an instinct that's right.

• 14:35Speaker 03

  He just stood there, blank face. And I thought, does this have something to do with what he told me a few months ago that he was hit by a truck? And is he trying to be hit by a truck again? I was beside myself with fear and grief and pain and wondering, what is going on? When we did get back from our trip in London, that's when I saw Carol Bowman had an ad in the back of Mothering Magazine. And it said something to the effect, "Do you believe your child has had a past life?" You know, something to that effect. And her name and number and to call her.

• 15:16Ky Dickens?

  So a seed was planted in her mind, as far-fetched as it seemed to her. Could Blake be having memories or pain associated with a past life?

• 15:24Speaker 03

  I was like, oh my gosh. Like, I was meant to see that ad and somebody who maybe can point me in the right direction can help me understand this. What is this? So I called her.

• 15:37Ky Dickens?

  Here's Carol again, and she remembers this case very well.

• 15:40Speaker 02

  He was just too going on three. I think Colleen was more frightened than anything. She really didn't know what to do.

• 15:48Speaker 03

  By the things I was telling her, she validated that, you know, kind of the age of three is when children start remembering these memories and they can start verbalizing them. So he was at the right age. She explained how they'll be very matter of fact, which I had explained. Yes, it wasn't a fantasy story. It wasn't like silly making up. So just with how she was explaining how this worked with children and what she has learned from her research, it all did seem to fit. So I felt like, okay, she knows what she's talking about. And I felt like she was just, you know, kind of a godsend.

• 16:31Speaker 02

  I explained that to a very young child, a past life memory feels and appears to be as real as something that happened days or weeks ago. Children carry beliefs and feelings with them from their previous lives into the present, the continuum of consciousness from death through rebirth.

• 16:51Speaker 03

  I explained to her, my biggest fear was what had happened in London, where he got up and stood in front of the truck. And if she explained it, I forget the term she used, but how sometimes it's like a psychological term that sometimes people will repeat a trauma in order to try and fix it.

• 17:16Ky Dickens?

  She's referencing what psychologists sometimes call repetition compulsion or traumatic reenactment. The idea is that a person may unconsciously return to a scene or pattern or feeling of a trauma, almost as if part of them is trying to master it or change the ending or make sense of what happened.

• 17:32Speaker 02

  Part of their consciousness is still stuck in that past life experience, usually a trauma, and they don't know that they made a transition into another body. They can't distinguish past from present.

• 17:46Ky Dickens?

  And to me, this tracked because over the course of working on this series, I've found that many kids talk about their memories in first person or present tense. So from that perspective, if this really was happening, if his reincarnation memories were real, it must feel like there isn't a separation between one life and the next.

• 18:04Speaker 02

  She said, "When I go to comfort Blake about his aches and pains and his sadness, he pushes me away." At that point, I suspected that Blake was confusing the former mother with Colleen.

• 18:17Speaker 03

  That was a light bulb moment for me. I thought, this is why he's behaving in such a clinically depressed way. He's angry at me for not being there protecting him from being hit by a truck. And that's why, you know, the "I love you, then I hate you." That was the best way he could describe it, is just facts. Mommy didn't save me. Mommy was gone when this happened. She didn't love me. Then Carol gave me suggestions on how to help Blake through it.

• 18:48Speaker 02

  I told Colleen to wait until she was alone with Blake and he was relaxed before bedtime or bath time.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  A quiet time where he'd be receptive. That was very important, not while he was busy doing something.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  I imagine this must have sounded really strange to Colleen. I told her what I tell every other parent. Listen and acknowledge Blake's memory, join his reality, and let him know that she knew he was hit by a truck.

• 19:18Speaker 03

  So I tucked him into bed, got him all comfortable, kind of gave him a little back scratch and got him all just relaxed. And then, and I was scared to do this because I'm going to talk to my three-year-old son about when he lived a different life. So I started out and I said, "Blake, were you hit by a truck?" He said, "Yeah." And so he's still remembering. He told me his head hurt, his arm hurt, his leg hurt. And I said, "Well, you know, when you were hit by that truck, you had a different body." And he kind of looked like, "Oh." And I said, "And you had a different mommy." And you had a different life.

• 19:59Speaker 03

  And he was like, all of a sudden, eyes bright, just total different look on his face. I had a different mommy? I said, yeah. I had a different body? Yeah. And then I said something to the effect of, you know, and now you're safe. I'm your new mommy. And I love you very much. And you have a daddy and you have your brothers and I named his Nana and how everybody loves him and that he's safe. Blake needed to know that he made this transition into a new life and that he was now protected by her.

• 20:34Ky Dickens?

  Listening to this, I had the same question that I imagine a lot of parents would. Would saying something like this to a toddler scare them more? I mean, hearing that you had a different body, a different mother, a different life. From my point of view, it sounds like something that could really overwhelm or even freak out a child. But Colleen said the opposite happened.

• 20:52Speaker 03

  He just lit up. The look on his face was amazing. And I was thinking, this is going well. Now, this is something, I did not tell my husband I was going to do this because I thought, he's going to tell me, I can't. You can't tell a three-year-old that, that he has a different new body and all that. So I didn't tell him. And then I thought, well, okay, that went really well. He seemed to receive that nicely. And I'm thinking, well, this is probably going to be a lot of conversations where I have to remind him or just kind of keep going through it.

• 21:24Speaker 02

  I was hoping this would work because I didn't know what else Colleen could do.

• 21:28Speaker 03

  So the next morning, he gets up. His demeanor was very different. He's playing with his brothers, laughing and jumping around. And I'm waiting for him to like, sit down on the couch again. I'm waiting for it to end and it didn't. And I remember saying to my husband, I said, did you notice anything different about Blake? He said, yeah, he's playing. And I said, yeah, you want to know why? And then I told him. And I remember him saying, I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, this transformation. And I mean, I was nervous for the next few days, but he never went back. It was done. It was like healed, like, oh, we got our Blake back.

• 22:08Speaker 02

  She said Blake was back to his old smiley self as he had been before he started remembering the accident.

• 22:15Ky Dickens?

  And to me, one of the most interesting things about this case is what happened to his bodily pains.

• 22:20Speaker 02

  All of the aches and pains that he'd been complaining about for months on the left side of his body completely went away.

• 22:27Ky Dickens?

  So unbelievable.

• 22:28Speaker 03

  I remember saying to her how well it worked and how wonderful it was. And just with that one conversation, he got it and it just changed everything. And then I remember saying, you know, more parents need to know about this. I went through really hell. And without Carol, you know, I wonder what would have happened to Blake? If all, all through his life, he felt his mom didn't love him or, you know, would he have ended up on drugs? Or I don't know what would have happened.

• 22:59Speaker 02

  By that time, I'd been doing this for about, what, five years or so? And I knew that's what parents wanted. You know, no one was telling parents, this is normal and here's what you do.

• 23:11Ky Dickens?

  And Colleen was going to become more than just another parent that Carol helped. Colleen was so deeply moved by the shift she witnessed in her son that she also wanted other parents out there to know that this kind of healing might be possible.

• 23:23Speaker 03

  And I said, I'm going to write to Oprah. She's into this, a little bit of woo-woo, she was and all that. And he said, well, I'm going to write to Oprah. Carol said, well, you do that. So I did and nothing happened.

• 23:39Speaker 02

  She wrote a letter to Oprah and they had filed it away in a file that read, children's phobias, which was not exactly what it was.

• 23:49Speaker 03

  Maybe a year later, a producer or somebody called me. I gave her Carol Bowman's number. So they called Carol and this eventually turned into a whole episode on Oprah about children's past lives.

• 24:04Ky Dickens?

  Carol, how did that feel? Because up until then, you were kind of, you know, privately toiling away. Did this feel like, you know, a big break?

• 24:10Speaker 02

  When I got the call from Oprah, I knew I had to do it and I was petrified. I had never done any public speaking before. And I just found the steel in me.

• 24:22Speaker 04

  Carol Bowman says many children do remember their past lives easily and look for opportunities to express them. She spent the last six years researching and writing about children's past life experiences.

• 24:33Speaker 05

  Young children, as soon as they become verbal, like around age two to about age seven, can have these memories and they're unrecognized in this culture.

• 24:42Ky Dickens?

  On this show, Colleen's case was also explored. And Oprah interviewed Chase, Carol's own son, whose battlefield memory had started Carol's work in the first place.

• 24:51Speaker 04

  Now Chase says he was just five when he first remembered being a black soldier in the Civil War.

• 24:59Ky Dickens?

  What I love is that the producers even brought in an illustrator to help Chase bring the visions trapped in his mind to life. And a Civil War historian took a look at the illustrations and the details that Chase had recounted.

• 25:10Speaker 06

  By nature, I'm skeptical. I need, I need to see more evidence. Everything he says is consistent with things that could have happened, though.

• 25:17Ky Dickens?

  Oprah was balanced and thoughtful and her taking it seriously was a game changer for Carol.

• 25:22Speaker 02

  It aired in 94, at the height of Oprah's popularity. And she was fantastic. She made it easy for us. Oprah certainly elevated me from housewife to researcher. And my research changed because I was getting so many more cases.

• 25:39Ky Dickens?

  And in many cases, the public was teaching her about this phenomenon. One thing she learned from parents writing in was that not all cases were centered on trauma. In fact, there were often just sweet, small, little stories that caused Carol to marvel.

• 25:51Speaker 02

  I remember a case of one little boy who lost a button on his pants. And he went into his mother's sewing kit, got the thread, needle, and sewed the button perfectly on his pants. He was four years old, by the way. And when his mother asked him, how do you know to do that? I never taught you how to sew. He said, well, I used to do it before when I was a sailor on a boat. And he described an old wooden boat that creaked at night when he was trying to sleep. He told his mother exactly where he learned this. And I thought that was amazing.

• 26:27Ky Dickens?

  We're going to take a quick break right there. But when we get back, Carol's journey changes forever as more cases flood in, including a case that would become one of the most well-known and carefully investigated American cases in reincarnation history.

• 26:43Ky Dickens?

  Around three o'clock each day, I'm ready for a little treat. And I'm definitely one of those salty and sweet people. And one of my absolute favorite flavors is salted caramel. And salt seems like such a small thing, but it brings the whole flavor to life. Suddenly, something sweet becomes so much more interesting. And that's why I'm so excited to try Kachava's new salted caramel flavor. Kachava is already part of my afternoon routine. So this sounds like a delicious way to mix things up.

• 28:57Ky Dickens?

  Welcome back to The Reincarnation Records.

• 28:59Speaker 02

  After Oprah, I was doing a lot of interviewing. I got a good publishing contract. So it's kind of like a rags to riches story with the publishing. And everything just fell into place.

• 29:11Ky Dickens?

  The cases Carol had been collecting over the past six years, the research, the phone conversations, the dream of writing a book that could help parents, was suddenly on its way.

• 29:21Speaker 02

  My first book, Children's Past Lives, was published in March of 1997.

• 29:26Ky Dickens?

  And with that greater exposure, came what would become one of the best-known and most widely-publicized American cases of a child who appeared to remember a past life.

• 29:37Speaker 02

  In 2001, I found a remarkable case, rich in verifiable detail.

• 29:43Speaker 00

  It's being called "The Case for Reincarnation."

• 29:45Speaker 07

  Two down-to-earth parents who thought they understood the mysteries of life. That is, until their toddler began to talk.

• 29:53Ky Dickens?

  But long before it reached a national audience, the story unfolded outside of public view with two confused and concerned parents who sought Carol's help privately.

• 30:02Speaker 02

  The James Leidinger case. It became the best-known American case of a child's past life memories.

• 30:09Ky Dickens?

  Carol had found the case she'd been searching for, an American, modern case with names and places, military records, eyewitnesses, surviving members, and maybe most importantly, parents who didn't believe in reincarnation and did not want any of it to be true. James Leidinger was born in 1998 to Andrea and Bruce, a Christian couple living in Louisiana. And from almost the beginning of James's life, he had one obsession: airplanes.

• 30:34Speaker 02

  One of James's first words was "airplane." And the only toys he wanted were airplanes.

• 30:40Ky Dickens?

  And that in and of itself is not extraordinary. Lots of little kids become fixated on trains and fire trucks and planes. But with James, the fascination had a strange edge to it, which became really apparent when he was able to talk.

• 30:52Speaker 02

  When James was two, Andrea was shopping with him and found a toy plane and said, "Oh, look, here's a plane. It even has a bomb at the bottom." She handed it to James, and he turned it upside down and said,

• 31:04Speaker 05

  "That's not a bomb, Mama. That's a drop tank. I'd never heard of a drop tank. I didn't know what a drop tank was."

• 31:09Ky Dickens?

  That's the voice of James's mom Andrea from an interview she did on ABC Primetime in 2004, almost four years after James first started to have his memories. "We could not reach the Leidingers for an interview, so we're going to rely on some of these archival news interviews to help tell their story. But it's important to know that Carol and the family were deep in this mystery for years before it went public." And here's his dad, Bruce.

• 31:32Speaker 06

  I took him to the Kavanaugh Flight Museum that every time we went to the area where the World War II aircraft were located, he would just stand there and point, mesmerized.

• 31:42Ky Dickens?

  Little James recognized the steely war machines with a certain familiarity and comfort. This trip to the Flight Museum happened when he was 22 months old. And there's old home video of James inspecting the planes, knowing things about them, pointing at them. And that's obviously not enough to build a case on. But then the nightmares began. Here's Carol Bowman again.

• 32:02Speaker 02

  He would scream and thrash and cry, saying, "Airplane crash, plane on fire." And he would repeat it again and again.

• 32:09Speaker 05

  And wake him up, and he'd be screaming. And he'd always be laying on his back, kicking his feet up at the ceiling. And I'd say, "Baby, what were you dreaming about?" He'd say, "Airplane crash, on fire, little man can't get out."

• 32:18Speaker 02

  When Andrea and Bruce asked him who little man was, he said, "That's me." They asked, "Do you remember little man's name?" He would always say, "James."

• 32:27Ky Dickens?

  Which, I want to add, was the little boy's name. So that doesn't necessarily seem odd, at least not yet.

• 32:33Speaker 02

  He was having these nightmares four to five times a week, and no one was getting any sleep.

• 32:38Ky Dickens?

  One thing that gave me pause when going through all the old tape of interviews by the parents was a moment when his dad Bruce asked why his plane went down in the first place. And James said, very matter-of-factly, "Because it was shot." And then, when Bruce asked, "Who shot the plane?" young James seemed flabbergasted and annoyed that his dad didn't know.

• 32:57Speaker 05

  I'll never forget the look on his face. He went, "The Japanese."

• 33:02Ky Dickens?

  James was two at the time. And if you talk to most parents out there, toddlers do not know that America and Japan were ever at war. Here's an interview that James's mom did with ABC.

• 33:12Speaker 05

  I knew what he watched on television. I knew what stories I read to him. I'm a protective, first-time, southern mother.

• 33:18Ky Dickens?

  But James kept talking, and the parents started to ask simple questions to try to understand more. You know, where was this coming from? Why was he saying it?

• 33:26Speaker 02

  They asked, "Do you remember what kind of plane you flew?" He would always say, "A Corsair."

• 33:32Ky Dickens?

  The Corsair, the plane that young James mentioned, was a World War II fighter plane. It entered combat in 1943 and was heavily used in the Pacific, especially by the Marines.

• 33:42Speaker 06

  Not only did James remember flying a Corsair, he demonstrated knowledge of the plane's peculiarities, like the time he was flipping through a book about planes.

• 33:51Speaker 05

  He got to the Corsair, and he said, "That's a Corsair." And he goes, "You know what? I used to get flat tires all the time."

• 33:58Ky Dickens?

  And here's Carol Bowman again, recounting from her notes some of the early questions the parents asked.

• 34:03Speaker 02

  They asked, "Do you remember where your plane took off from? A boat. Do you remember the name of boat? The Natomah." Bruce said, "That sounds Japanese." James replied, "It's American."

• 34:16Ky Dickens?

  This period of question and answering did not just happen in a single day. But as this detailed information trickled in, his dad Bruce was searching for an explanation. How did his son know all this information about World War II? And was any of it even correct?

• 34:30Speaker 02

  Bruce went to his computer to see if he could verify any of this information. He found that there was indeed an American aircraft carrier called the Natomah Bay that served in the Pacific in World War II.

• 34:42Ky Dickens?

  And then came a really weird moment.

• 34:44Speaker 02

  During the Christmas holidays, Bruce had received a book about the Battle of Iwo Jima and was reading it while James sat on his lap. They got to a page with an aerial shot of Iwo Jima, and two-year-old James said, "Daddy, that's where my plane was shot down." And he repeated that statement.

• 35:03Ky Dickens?

  And in Carol's records, it was noted that his dad Bruce felt shocked. I mean, what two-year-old says that?

• 35:09Speaker 02

  He was even more shocked when he found through an internet search that the Natomah Bay aircraft carrier was in that battle, the Battle of Iwo Jima.

• 35:18Ky Dickens?

  I mean, at this point, someone in their periphery had to start thinking past life.

• 35:21Speaker 02

  Andrea was putting together the pieces, and she believed that James was remembering a past life. But Bruce felt it was heresy to believe that this was a case of reincarnation. And he was on a mission to disprove his son's statements and protect his own beliefs.

• 35:40Ky Dickens?

  And because reincarnation feels so beyond the boundaries of what many of us are taught, we'll spend time later in the series exploring where reincarnation fits into the world's religious traditions. Because it's more complicated than many people realize, many of the monotheistic faiths, like Judaism and Christianity and Islam, actually debated the validity of reincarnation throughout their history and have some sects that believe in it. But now, back to Carol. So Carol, when did you come into their lives?

• 36:04Speaker 02

  Andrea's mother sent her a copy of my first book, Children's Past Lives, because they were desperate for guidance. The most pressing issue was his nightmares. These nightmares persisted for months.

• 36:16Ky Dickens?

  Carol emailed back, willing to help.

• 36:18Speaker 02

  I told her what I tell every other parent: "Join his reality. Ask open-ended questions. Acknowledge what he was saying. Assure him that that was something that happened before and that he was now in a new life and a new body."

• 36:32Ky Dickens?

  And it did seem to help, because a few weeks later, Andrea emailed Carol to thank her.

• 36:36Speaker 02

  She followed my advice, and the techniques worked.

• 36:39Speaker 05

  The nightmares immediately started reducing in frequency. He went down from three or four times a week to maybe one a week, one every other week. And at that point was when he started to articulate more about these past life memories.

• 36:52Ky Dickens?

  More details came. It was almost as if, by his parents joining his reality, he felt more able to share.

• 36:58Speaker 02

  He began to draw pictures of propeller planes being shot down from boats. In these frenetic drawings, which Andrea shared with me, there was fire and enemy flak in the sky.

• 37:08Ky Dickens?

  Here's his mom again from an interview she did on Fox and Friends.

• 37:11Speaker 05

  It was almost a pathological process. He would put the planes and the ships in, and then he would almost be acting out a battle. He would be shooting and firing.

• 37:20Speaker 02

  And he would always sign the drawings with "James III." When his parents asked him why he signed his drawings this way, he said, "Because I'm the third James." They asked if he could remember the names of any of his friends. He said, "Jack. Jack Larson. He's a pilot, too."

• 37:38Ky Dickens?

  Jack Larson. That name will matter later. But at this point, it was just one more impossible-sounding detail from a toddler. And none of this was sitting well with Bruce, James's dad.

• 37:48Speaker 06

  I was not just skeptical. I was adamant that this was not happening in my house. And my belief system rebelled against the concept and the idea of reincarnation and past lives.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  Bruce was so intent in figuring out this mystery that he started going to reunions of the Natomah Bay veterans in the guise of doing research for a book about the Natomah Bay.

• 38:14Ky Dickens?

  OK, I kind of love that.

• 38:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know. He actually needed more information about the crew that he couldn't find in his online searches.

• 38:22Ky Dickens?

  There was a veteran named Leo Pipe, now in his 80s, that served on the Natomah Bay, the aircraft carrier that James talked about as a toddler. And Bruce initially reached out to him to kind of put an end to this reincarnation nonsense.

• 38:34Speaker 06

  I wanted to disprove it.

• 38:35Ky Dickens?

  And here is Leo Pipe talking about his conversation with Bruce, James's father.

• 38:39Speaker 06

  He asked a few questions about, "Did I know some of the people?" "Oh, yeah, I remember those people." And-

• 38:46Ky Dickens?

  He got very quiet. Jack Larson was a real person. And here's Bruce recounting that story on Fox and Friends in 2004.

• 38:56Speaker 06

  What I found out by contacting a veterans organization, never expecting to confirm this name Jack Larson, I asked a guy named Leo Pyatt, you remember a guy named Jack Larson? And he says, oh, yeah, he flew off one day and we never saw him again. So it led me to believe initially that that's who had been killed.

• 39:13Ky Dickens?

  Meaning his dad was thinking Jack Larson was the pilot who was shot down in the Pacific and possibly the memories that his son was tapping into somehow. And if that was the case, it would disqualify the reincarnation theory because his son kept saying his name was James. However, the family soon discovered that Jack Larson was not actually shot down over the Pacific. He was alive and well and living in Arkansas. So they were back to the drawing board. Jack Larson was real, the name checked out, but it wasn't who died. But with the help of veterans, Bruce was able to find out something he could not find online, or anywhere, in fact. It was Ralph Carver, a veteran in his early 80s, who helped fill in the missing piece. Carver had also flown from the deck of the Natoma Bay.

• 39:56Ky Dickens?

  On March 3rd, 1945, he took part in a strike against the Japanese during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Flying beside Ralph Carver that day was another Natoma Bay pilot, Lieutenant James Houston, Jr. And here's a clip of an interview with Ralph Carver.

• 40:12Speaker 06

  We experienced pretty heavy aircraft fire, but this was the most intense that I experienced at any time.

• 40:20Ky Dickens?

  And then there was a bright light at the front of James Houston's plane.

• 40:23Speaker 06

  I saw the hit.

• 40:26Speaker 06

  I would say he was hit head on. Yeah, right on the middle of the engine.

• 40:30Speaker 02

  There was one pilot, just one pilot, whose plane was shot down in the way James described near Iwo Jima. His name was James Houston, Jr.

• 40:41Ky Dickens?

  And because this veteran's name was James Jr., then little James Lineger's signature suddenly made sense. He would have been the third James if he truly felt like he was the reincarnation of James Jr.

• 40:53Speaker 02

  He died in 1945 at the age of 21, and he flew a Corsair.

• 40:59Ky Dickens?

  And at this point, looking over the notes of the case and talking to Carol, Bruce, having tried desperately to not allow reincarnation to be the answer, seemed to relent.

• 41:08Speaker 06

  It just crystallized in my mind, this, this has to be who we're talking about. You know, my meter of skepticism was starting to go over toward belief.

• 41:19Ky Dickens?

  Here's Carol Bowman again.

• 41:20Speaker 02

  I felt so fortunate to be able to follow this amazing case as it unfolded. With each new discovery, Bruce and Andrea called me to keep me informed. I became as excited as they were with each new revelation that authenticated James's memories.

• 41:35Ky Dickens?

  Through Bruce's investigation and a new connection to James Houston's former squadron, the family finally began getting answers. But what they discovered next was shocking. So here's the backstory. Young James Lineger played constantly with G.I. Joe dolls.

• 41:49Speaker 02

  He named his three dolls Billy, Leon, and Walter. His parents thought they were unusual names for little boys' toys. When they asked him why he gave them those names, he replied very matter-of-factly, because that's who met me when I got to heaven. Then he went back to playing with his toys. Bruce went to his computer where he had files with dates and details of the men from the Natoma Bay who were killed in battle. There, he found that there were three men on the same squadron named Billy, Leon, and Walter, who were all killed in 1944. James Houston died in 1945.

• 42:32Ky Dickens?

  I feel like I've read and watched every account of this story, and that piece often gets brushed over. But to me, it's wild that little three-year-old James named his G.I. Joe dolls, three names of people he said met him in heaven. And then his father found out that the names matched three men from the same squadron in which James served, who died in battle a year before James Houston, Jr. died. And this story also created a major cognitive dissonance for me. Starting with, if reincarnation is real, what does that mean about the afterlife and heaven? Are the two ideas even compatible? But if you've been with me over the last few seasons, we've explored many stories that suggest consciousness survives death. Whatever your interpretation, the evidence has repeatedly pointed toward the possibility

• 43:17Ky Dickens?

  that something continues beyond this life. So then came this moment where heaven and reincarnation don't seem to compete with one another at all. At least in this recollection from James, they appear to be part of the same larger story. And on this show, I'll never tell anyone what to believe. That's not what this series is about. It's not what I'm about. But I did find myself wondering, you know, what if a merciful God or universe gives us more than one opportunity? Because if a life ends before someone ever experiences love, or purpose, or parenthood, or the chance to be who they were meant to be, it just feels so unfair. And that's why the death of a young person can just feel so brutal. And in this case, James Houston, Jr. never came home from the war. He never started a family. To my knowledge, he never fell in love.

• 43:59Ky Dickens?

  He never had the chance to discover who he was or what he might accomplish. But if reincarnation is real, maybe those experiences and opportunities aren't lost forever. But for now, back to our story.

• 44:10Speaker 02

  Andrea wanted to know if James Houston, Jr. had any living relatives who could validate James's memories of his life before he was a pilot. And she eventually found that James Houston, Jr. had a surviving sister, Anne Houston Barron, who was alive and in her 80s. Andrea contacted Anne and told her that she and her husband were writing a book about the Natoma Bay.

• 44:32Ky Dickens?

  And I just want to interject a reminder here that the family's first contacts with most of the people involved started with them claiming they were writing a book about the Natoma Bay.

• 44:42Speaker 02

  Andrea and Anne established a rapport on the phone, and Anne sent Andrea her photos of her brother. One of the photos was of his squadron, and a James Houston proudly stood in front of a Corsair, the type of plane young James told his parents he flew.

• 44:59Ky Dickens?

  The family had been getting really interesting information, validating James's memories. And the case was becoming so evidential that it was top of mind for Carol when she was contacted by a news channel looking to cover a case of past life memory.

• 45:11Speaker 02

  I was in touch with a producer at ABC TV who wanted to document a case of a child's past life memory. I introduced her to the Linegers. And by 2004, there was an abundance of evidence that this was a real case of reincarnation. The Linegers and I were interviewed for the segments on ABC Primetime. But before the piece was broadcast, I called Andrea to suggest that she revealed to Anne Barron they really weren't writing about the Natoma Bay. Rather, they believed that their son was the reincarnation of her brother. I told Andrea that if Anne happened to see this on TV, she might have a heart attack. So Andrea called her and explained everything.

• 45:54Speaker 02

  Andrea also shared some of the comments James made about the Houston family, details that no one outside of the Houston family could possibly know. After the ABC Primetime aired and the truth came out to the veterans of the Natoma Bay that they were actually writing about James and not the boat, the Lineger family attended another reunion.

• 46:15Ky Dickens?

  I just have to jump in here. I just want to give props to the veterans of the Natoma Bay for hearing this about little James and still extending an invite for the family to go to a reunion because that could have gone sideways.

• 46:26Speaker 02

  On the first day of the reunion, Andrea, Bruce, and James were walking down the hall. And a man they hadn't seen before stopped and asked James, do you know who I am? James looked at him in the eye and said, you're Bob Greenwald. The man looked shocked and said, that's right. Andrea asked him, are you really Bob Greenwald? He said, yes. Later, Bruce asked James how he knew who the man was. James told him, I recognized his voice. This is what, 50, 60 years later?

• 47:00Ky Dickens?

  But someone else was invited to this reunion as well. James Houston's sister, Anne Houston Barron, who was 85 years old when little James Lineger met her at the 2004 VC81 Squadron Reunion in San Antonio, Texas.

• 47:15Speaker 05

  And he goes, it's not Anne, it's Annie. She wasn't my oldest sister. I had an older sister than that. And I said, you did? Who was that? And he goes, Ruth. I mean Ruth.

• 47:25Ky Dickens?

  And that was true. And here's James Houston's sister.

• 47:28Speaker 04

  Eddie is what they called me when I was little, knowing my name and my sister's name, things that my brother did when he was a kid. It's too amazing to.

• 47:37Ky Dickens?

  Describe how he would feel that way, but he does. He considers me his sister. But despite all the things little James Leidinger said to her, does she consider him to be the reincarnated soul of her brother? I think it's probably a reincarnation of my brother.

• 47:54Speaker 02

  There was just no other explanation for how he knew all of this. She even sent some of her brother's belongings for James. One was a model of a Corsair airplane.

• 48:03Ky Dickens?

  Leo, James Houston Jr.'s old comrade, was also shown some of the three-year-old's drawings from a plane crashing and burning, and Leo responded to them with conviction.

• 48:13Speaker 06

  He was right on the nose. I'm sure in my mind that he was there.

• 48:17Ky Dickens?

  At this point, James Leidinger's parents, many of the former surviving squadron members, and Ann Houston, were convinced that James Houston Jr.'s soul, or consciousness, was back and inside the body of a little boy. The details were too specific, and they bore out under scrutiny. And that case became national news. But the moment maybe most important to this whole journey and to Carol Bowman's working thesis was a moment of healing transformation that finally happened when James was eight years old.

• 48:44Speaker 02

  A Japanese production company wanted to fly the Leidingers to Japan and have a memorial service where James Houston's plane was shot down. The family and a film crew took a boat to the site of the crash. When they arrived, eight-year-old James burst into tears. He recovered enough to throw a bouquet of flowers in the water, which Ann Barron had requested. As they threw the bouquet, James said, "Goodbye, James Houston. I'll never forget you." Andrea said that, at that point, everyone on the boat was crying.

• 49:17Ky Dickens?

  But did it work, or did it re-traumatize them?

• 49:20Speaker 02

  After the trip, James's memories started to fade, and his drawings of planes being shot down changed. Instead of boats firing at airplanes, he drew happy scenes of dolphins jumping. In one of his drawings, an intact plane was flying over a field of flowers.

• 49:36Ky Dickens?

  So you think that it was good for him to go to the place of his death?

• 49:39Speaker 02

  That image said it all. James finally seemed to have closure on his former life. He was finally able to let go. And he no longer signed his drawings James III. It was just James.

• 49:52Ky Dickens?

  A book about the Leidingers' experience was written by Bruce and Andrea and published in 2009. It was called Soul Survivor.

• 49:58Speaker 02

  These stories have such power to open people's minds to this reality, because it is a real phenomenon.

• 50:06Ky Dickens?

  For Carol, the James case was not just extraordinary. It was a turning point. She had helped bring a remarkable, modern case into the historical record. She had become a trusted voice in the field, and along the way, she even entered the orbit of Dr. Ian Stevenson, the University of Virginia psychiatrist, who had spent decades investigating the claims of children who say they remember past lives.

• 50:26Speaker 02

  It took me 10 years to find a verifiable case that met something like Stevenson's requirements for a legitimate case.

• 50:34Ky Dickens?

  Carol even helped Dr. Stevenson and his then-assistant Dr. Jim Tucker with several critical cases, including introducing them to the James Leidinger case. But Stevenson did not just have one case like James Leidinger. He had shelves of them.
