To me it seems like a simple case where the parents are trying to make a buck.

I saw nothing compelling in the clip I watched that couldn't easily have another explanation.

I tend to agree. We have no idea if this is an act or not. For all we know, the parents could of come up with this for publicity to sell a book for a few bucks. That is suspicious enough for me to call it a fake.

But hey, get me more evidence and I'd be willing to take another look at it.
I think this is a case of "wanting to believe", some believing because they need an excuse to believe. When I see this video, I don't see solid proof.

Someone mentioned it would be hard to know their names and other things about them from a photograph, well all I have to say is that the internet is a powerful tool.

It can be used for good.. Or to deceive all those naive enough to believe...

I think its honest and fascinating! SnF

Thanks for posting it!

W.C. Fields was right. Yeah, sure, reincarnation. Right. And I used to be a trilobite in the Cambrian. Come on.

Well if there is a spiritual self, reincarnation only makes sense. Everything else of energy reincarnates in some way.

Not debating, just saying-

Published in a book.

How much is the book?

"Reincarnation is a fact" (buy my book).

I think I'm a bit suspicious. In a world looking for hope, here is the proof?

Here's another possibility. The parents are great coachers. The parents exposed the kid to WWII fighter planes, books, pictures, stories. They found out details on a few folks from an aircraft carrier during the war. They did a family tree search on the pilot. They hired a PI to get extra really obscure details. They called the news channel. Researched the crash landing map. Rehearsed the emotion of the tossing flowers at the crash site. Published the book. Cashed the check. Rollin' in dough. Let's all say Yes! to reincarnation. Yes. Who gives a crap if we're reincarnating anyway? Just live your life and enjoy it while it lasts. You could be that dead pilot down there with the dolphins and whales. Right.

This sort of thing was a big deal in the first half of the 20th Century. People remembering past lives, being able to speak in voices, knowing details of places they'd never been to.

Check out the Bridey Murphy case documented by a psychiatrist in the 50s.

Most of the time serious researchers found kids read fiction books or history, picked up conversations from relatives, visitors, etc. Synthesized a historical character, real or imagined.

Under hypnosis or in a light trance state they'd be able to impressively talk first person on what they were observing in a past era, in convincing accents with remarkable detail.

There is an innate human capacity for storytelling.

So is hard to imagine that when we die everything ceases to exist. What is the mean if the reality is just to live one life? If we just live once and than nothing, why some luck ones get a better life? One born in complete misery while another billionaire. One born blind and another with great health.

I think that when we die we born again in another life, dimension, world, etc... Just like a dream. Die is like sleep. When we wake up we remember the dream, forget and move on... We are a kind of energy plugged in a infinity super computer like Matrix. Maybe this energy is god. Every soul is a division of God. The Energy or God created everything and divided itself to experience its own infinity.

Pretty close to how I think things work also.....kinda cool to have somebody else explain it almost as I would...

Doesn't it seem supremely suspicious that the boy only began drawing pictures with dolphins and whales after he had experienced the flower tossing moment at sea. Why wasnt he drawing pictures of dolphins and whales first? Suggestion seems to play a very significant role in what this "Amazing" child is doing. I think it's totally bogus but it works well on a slow news day. And, there are tons of suckers who will buy the book.

Also, related or likely unrelated to this, when i was preparing my turkey bagel this morning the sliced turkey formed a stunning likeness of on Sean Hannity. It was repulsive. I threw out the meat.

I rarely star or flag anything, but this, this definitely deserves a star and flag. This once and for all settles my doubts about reincarnation. The Christians continually doubt reincarnation, but this is why people should remain open to all possibilities because if can't really prove something to be false, you can't really say that it doesn't exist. Hinduism has earned points. Christianity has lost points.

That because nobody told them that after you go to heaven, you then reincarnate in a new life depending on what you did in the previous one.....

They think Heaven is the end when it is just a new beginning . They don't even understand their own true teachings.....kinda sad really

I'd have believed this if it wasnt just another commercial for a book.
IT is easy to teach a kid to say certain things. Just find some old photos and old stories and make it look like its reincarnation.
Not saying that I dotn believe in reincarnation, but I believe that profit is the likeliest of motives nowadays.

To all the sceptics and cynics, there are TONS of these stories, where the person knows things about the history of a past life they could not have known, and when it's investigated, turns out they were bang on in every detail. And the NDE's and past life regressions, these all seem to corroborate the same phenomenon. You guys should read "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot for a possible explanation as to how this operates.

Ask him again in 10 years. My money is he won't have a clue. The claim children are more susceptible to or more recognizing of the paranormal phenomena could also mean he's being told what's in the picture and just repeating it.

He will have been ridiculed so much over the next 10 years he wouldn't have any desire to recall any of it .. Whethere he still did or not.

I recalled a past life as a child of 5 yrs old. My parents have no doubt about the validity of my claims.

Simply amazing!

I am not sure but can't help but wonder if this might have something to do with remote viewing, the archaic or akashic records or some kind of spirit influence.

But did I mention this is simply amazing?!
