[A knight without armor]

There is this little American boy who remembers being a pilot shot down during WWII in the Pacific. He started babbling about this very early and would come up with names of people and names of parts of his plane that there was just no way he’d know. Some of the airplane parts were unique to that era. He kept this up for a few years but as he got older he mentioned it less and less. When the story was put out a lot of people on FR thought he must have memorized tv shows. But the parents had said the kid was so young during this he was not watching historical shows or anything else that would be so accurate. The person he claimed to be really did die there as did another pilot or two he also named. Creepyville indeed.

Again, the kicker is "the parents said ...".

When my oldest daughter was a toddler, she watched CNN and the History Channel. She remembered enough information from different shows that she recognized Audie Murphy's picture when we visited a museum exhibit about him, and she was able (at around three, early talker!) to discuss why he was famous.

But maybe when he was in preschool they watched some historical shows? Or discussed some stories out of books? Or when he was being watched by others? Odd ... but I'm certain that there is a logical explanation for it. I just don't believe in anyone having lived a 'former life'. Had a boyfriend once who on the second (and last) date told me that he believed himself to be reincarnated from an ancient Roman captain ... hit the Date Auto Eject!!! LOL I immediately said 'you're talking to a total nonbeliever'. We parted friends but that was the last of the heart to heart discussions!
