The Reincarnation Records

The Telepathy Tapes returns October 7 with Season 3: The Reincarnation Records.

If The Telepathy Tapes deconstructed what you believe about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records may shatter it.

On October 7th, Ky Dickens takes on one of humanity’s oldest questions in a new podcast, The Reincarnation Records: What if memory doesn’t begin at birth? If The Telepathy Tapes challenged the way we think about consciousness, The Reincarnation Records confronts evidence that could alter what we believe about death.

Around the world, young children have described lives they seemingly never lived. They remember people they’ve never met, speak languages they’ve never learned, and know intimate details about places they’ve never visited. Some describe sudden or traumatic deaths, with birthmarks that appear to mirror the injuries they recall. Others exhibit unexplained fears, behaviors or extraordinary abilities that seem to belong to the lives they claim came before. And remarkably, in most cases, simply allowing children to talk about these memories appears to bring profound emotional and even physical healing.

In a worldwide investigation spanning France, Nepal, Vietnam, Germany, Brazil, Tibet, Sri Lanka, and the United States, Dickens works with researchers and experts from around the world, including scholars affiliated with the University of Virginia and Harvard, to examine extraordinary cases and the evidence behind them. We meet children whose memories contain startlingly specific details that can sometimes be independently verified, and families whose understanding of reality has been transformed by what their children remember. Along the way, we trace the ancient debate over whether we’ve lived before, from contested ideas in early Christianity to the extraordinary Tibetan Buddhist process used to identify the reincarnating Dalai Lama.

Could suggestion, coincidence or cultural influence explain these stories? What happens when a child’s statements are documented before anyone knows whom they might be describing? And if even a fraction of these cases resist conventional explanation, what happens to the worldview we’ve built around the idea that consciousness begins at birth and ends at death?

When five-year-old Chase Bowman developed an inexplicable terror of loud booming sounds, his mother, Carol, had no idea what was causing it. Then, sitting on her lap at their kitchen table, Chase began describing another life: a soldier on a battlefield, a gun with a bayonet, a wound to his wrist, and ultimately, his own death. What happened afterward was just as startling. The chronic eczema on Chase’s wrist cleared, and his debilitating fear of loud noises disappeared.

For Carol, that moment changed everything. A stay-at-home mom with no background in science or reincarnation research, she became determined to understand what had happened to her son. Were experiences like Chase’s real? Were other children having them? How common are these memories in the West, especially in Judeo-Christian families like hers? Could simply remembering and talking about these memories somehow help children heal?

Her search would lead her to the work of pioneering researcher Ian Stevenson and eventually beyond her own family, as Carol began looking for other American parents whose children were describing memories they couldn’t explain. Was she uncovering something hidden in plain sight about memory, consciousness, and what survives death? Or were parents simply finding meaning in experiences that could be explained by more conventional means?

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?

Can a child really remember a life that came before their own? And what happens when those memories contain details that can be independently verified?

For more than 60 years, researchers at the University of Virginia have investigated thousands of children who claim to remember previous lives, developing methods to test their extraordinary accounts. In this episode, we explore the science behind those investigations, the surprising patterns emerging from decades of research, and a remarkable case from Sri Lanka involving a young girl who recalls a distant village, another family, and even a hidden container of money.

If a child's memories match the life of someone who actually existed, what does that tell us? Is it coincidence, something science has yet to explain, or evidence of reincarnation?

A child remembers being murdered with a blow to the head and bears an unusual mark in the same place. Another recalls being shot, with birthmarks that appear to match a bullet's entry and exit wounds. But what makes these cases extraordinary is that researchers identified the real people whose lives the children claimed to remember and, in some cases, uncovered autopsy reports and medical records documenting fatal injuries that appeared to match the children's birthmarks and birth defects.

Dr. Ian Stevenson, founder of the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, was so fascinated by these cases that he devoted decades to investigating them. These physical correspondences make children's past-life memories far more difficult to explain away as coincidence, imagination, or suggestion.

Could the human body carry physical evidence that consciousness survives death?
