People that Remembered their Past Lives Continued

Ryan Hammonds, a ten-year-old boy, believed that he was a Hollywood extra turned agent in his past life. He even appeared on The Today Show to discuss his memories. Initially, Ryan's mother, Cindy, was skeptical when Ryan told her that he used to be someone else. However, their perspective changed when they discovered a photo from the making of Mae West's first movie, "Night After Night." Ryan pointed to a man in the photo named Marty Martin. Although Martin had no speaking lines in the film, Ryan accurately recalled 55 different details about Martin's life. Ryan spoke about having two sisters, trips to Paris, five marriages, and living on Roxbury Drive with Mae West. He also mentioned missing an orange soda called "TruAde." Dr. Jim Tucker, who documents cases of children remembering past lives at the University of Virginia, investigated Ryan's claims and confirmed their accuracy. Ryan's memories were not things that could easily be found on the internet. For instance, Martin's love for orange soda, living on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills, having two sisters, and spending time in Paris with his fifth wife were all confirmed.

James Leininger, a six-year-old boy, had an intense fascination with planes from a young age. When he was two, he began having nightmares about being in a plane crash, specifically saying, "Airplane crash on fire. Little man can't get out." Over time, James started revealing extraordinary details about the life of a former fighter pilot. He mentioned flying a Corsair plane that frequently had flat tires. James also recalled his plane being hit by the Japanese and subsequently crashing. He even told his father the name of the aircraft carrier he took off from, Natoma Bay, and the name of a fellow pilot, Jack Larson. James' father, Bruce, researched this information and confirmed that both Natoma Bay and Jack Larson were real. Natoma Bay was a small aircraft carrier in the Pacific, and Larson was living in Arkansas. Bruce discovered that James M. Huston Jr. was the only pilot from that squadron who was killed in action at Iwo Jima. Remarkably, Ralph Clark, a rear gunner on a US airplane that often flew alongside Natoma Bay, confirmed seeing Huston's plane get hit by anti-aircraft fire during a raid near Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945. Clark observed the plane being hit directly in the middle of the engine. The Leiningers wrote a letter to Huston's sister, who now believes that James is the reincarnation of her brother. She finds James' detailed knowledge about Huston's life to be convincing, as he recalls information that an ordinary child would not know.

Parmaud Sharma, born in India in 1944, claimed that he had a past life in Muradabad. At the age of two, Parmaud told his mother that his wife in Muradabad could cook for him, so his mother didn't have to. Muradabad was located 145 kilometers (90 miles) away. Between the ages of three and four, Parmaud described working in a family business called Mohan Brothers, where they sold cookies and water. He also advised his parents against eating curd and refused to eat it himself, as he claimed to have become very ill after consuming it in his previous life. Additionally, Parmaud mentioned hiding in a bathtub, despite hating being submerged in water. Intrigued by his claims, Parmaud's parents decided to investigate. They discovered a family named Meera in Muradabad who had run a soda and cookie shop called Mohan Brothers. The manager of that shop, Parmaud Meera, had died in 1943 after consuming curd and suffering from a gastrointestinal illness. Before his death, he had tried medicinal baths as a remedy. All of Parmaud's claims aligned with the actual events from Parmaud Meera's life.

These stories, among others, offer intriguing accounts of past lives. While they cannot be definitively proven, they present extraordinary coincidences and details that make one wonder about the possibilities of reincarnation. Reincarnation holds particular interest, especially when children, who supposedly have limited exposure to the world, recall specific memories from previous lives.
