Listener, Tim, recounts the evening his toddler, Mason, claimed he "wasn't always" his kid before describing a past life that ended in a tragic house fire. It is a quiet reflection on the "old soul" phenomenon and whether our children bring a bit of luggage with them when they enter this world.Reference LinksThe University of Virginia: Division of Perceptual StudiesThe Work of Dr. Ian StevensonMonarch Butterfly Migration and Genetics - National GeographicAltered States (1980) - IMDBDefending Your Life (1991) - IMDBPLAINTEXTThe University of Virginia: Division of Perceptual Studies: https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/The Work of Dr. Ian Stevenson:https://a.co/d/0fMu7zrxMonarch Butterfly Migration and Genetics - National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/facts/monarch-butterfly/Altered States (1980) - IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080360/Defending Your Life (1991) - IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101694/We're looking for more stories!
