Did anyone see that show about the little boy in Scotland? it was on... probably in the summer. I swear that if I hadn't have believed in past lives this would have convinced me!
He was only about 4 or 5 and lived in a big city and ever since he could talk he'd tell his mother about his life on the island of Barra (sp?) and about his Barra mummy and daddy. He spoke about it so convincingly that his teachers thought his mother was his adopted mother.
They took him to a child psychologist who said that many kids have imaginary riends or imaginary lives, but that this was not one. They said a clue to the friends being imaginary was that the child had complete control over it and it would never allow the imagination to upset them. This upset the little boy so much he'd cry and cry.
In the end they found a house on the island that was exactly as he described it, on a hill by the beach with a gate leading to a path to the ocean. He said he had to be careful on the beach because the planes landed on the beach by his house, which they did. When they got there he seemed so happy, he knew the house.
He said his father's name was James and the previous owner of the house was Seamus, they had a collie dog, which they did. It was all so amazingly similar.
In the end it was inconclusive because they traced Seamus's family and the only child that he had who had died died after this little boy was born.
It was unbelievably the same... yet aparantly couldn't be.
Just wondering what you thought. Do you think it's possible to somehow be born before your previous carnation has died.
This was so convincing it made me consider it.
