People Who Remember Previous Lives

We're from the nineteen hundreds. I hate how people say that. It's like, fuck you guys. That was one of the nineties nineteen hundreds. Okay, welcome to Scary Mystery Surprise, where we talk about scary things that surprised us around the Internet. I'm Edwin and I'm Michelle. Let's start with an experience that I had way back in the day. A couple of my friends had agreed to meet up with me there at a tennis to study, which is the weird place to study. But they used to let us and it was usually empty. I don't know how they make money because Tenny was always empty, probably late night, I'm assuming it was all late night, right, yuck. I was by myself at this time, and I was eating this thing that they used to make. I don't know if they still make it, but it was like this ground beef patty with mushroom sauce stick still remember that, is it a Sulisbury steak. It's like ground beef with gravy on it. Yes, it was like that. It was like that. So I'm looking out the window. There's a few people in the diner, and it's late afternoons. The sun's kind of, you know, going away. And as I'm looking out, I hear something move from the table behind me, and there's a little commotion because someone spilled their drink. And the waitress comes up and says, I'll grab you some napkins and bring over a rag, honey. I remember that very clearly, I wrote down. I turn around and see people on the table and I'm just kind of like looking but like making them think that I'm looking at something else. And I see them sitting there perfectly normal. It just looked like a mother and her two daughters were just eating, and it was awkward me looking at them, so I started to turn back. Suddenly I hear commotion and then I hear a cuff spill and the waitress comes over and she's like, I'll grab you some napkins and bring over a rag, honey. I'm thinking, didn't this just happen? The level of confusion I felt was just this weird, what is this? But that's that's why possibility of anything time past, lives, deja vous, things like glitches in the matrix have never been zero percent possibility or probability. For me. It's always been like, there's a chance I'm intrigued because I believe in past lives. So take me on this journey. So imagine this like a deja vou thing, but make it deeper and you turn it into like, instead of spending the time of a little situation like what I experienced with the drink spilling and the waitress coming by with the rag, imagine this being like a whole life thing right where you're living through something, but you actually really did live through that, basically living another life. Anyway, this DejaVu thing really made sense because they say that your brain takes note of things, and sometimes you don't really remember them, but they're in your memory somewhere. They're stored there, so when you see it again, it feels like it's your first time seeing it, but there's like that memory of it. But if anything, this kind of theory would support the idea if you're a kid, you haven't experienced much of anything. Those kids like, oh, I was in war, right, is I know all these things that adults wouldn't tell kids. There's a story. It's actually a story of Little Ryan. It's a story of past lives that I found that was very interesting. Little Ryan was born to a Baptist family in Oklahoma, and his case became famous for something that still to this day has no explanation. Ryan's mom would sometimes hear him play in his room, and when Ryan was four, his mom began to hear him take part of an interesting game where he would direct imaginary movies. No you've got to go in for the kiss like this from his room, one could hear him say action just like in the movie director would in real life. Now things turned a bit more serious when he started waking up his family with screams. He would just wake up like clutching his chest, and his explanations were always the same. He had a dream that his heart had exploded in Hollywood. Oh shit. Now. Ryan was taken to the doctor, who said that they were simple night terrors and made their typical suggestions for get better sleep, take your vitamin D. But then things once again took a turn. One night, before going to bed, Ryan looked up to his mother and said, Mama, I think I used to be someone else, and then he began to tell the story of what he believed was the life of someone else. He said that he would remember a swimming pool outside of a big white house and He became emotional after saying that he had three sons but could not remember their names. Wow, obviously the family is like, what sure kid? Would you believe a kid telling you that, oh, one hundred percent. I'd want to know everything they were saying. I would be that parent. That's like research time, tell me everything to the internet. And that's what the mother did. She started to help her son. She purchased a book. She bought a book about Hollywood and brought them to Ryan to look over, and soon she got her answers. In a book about the movie Night after Night. Ryan noticed there was two men in a picture and told his mom, that's George. We did a picture together. Oh my god. And then he said, and that guy's me. Found me. The photos in the book had no name of the people that were photographed, but it was later confirmed through some of the mother's research that indeed that man he had pointed to was named George Raft the one that he said, that's me. It was a talent agent, Marty Martin Huh. Ryan's mother got in touch with Marty's daughter, who was able to confirm facts that only she would have known about her father like no one else, and Marty did have three sons. Marty was a Broadway dancer and worked at a talent agency and right and even said that his old address had a rock in its name, and in fact, the address when they looked this up Marty used to live was eight twenty five North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. Marty had died in the hospital in nineteen sixty four. Imagine that bizarre stories of the subject can still be found on the Internet if you look up this guy's name was Ryan Hammonds. This is another story. December eleventh, nineteen twenty six. A woman by the name of Shanti Devi was born in Delhi, India. She would tell stories of her past life and a town she had never been to before. She started telling her family that her name was something else and that she had died after childbirth. In fact, she was able to detail like labor pains and surgical procedures that she had gone through, claims of her having lived in Mathura, seventy five miles away from her current home. Eventually made their way through the country and caught the attention of Muhammed Gandhi. She was able to remember the husband's name, who was still alive, write where she said he would be, and yeah, he was there, and she even explained what it was like in the afterlife. Many of the facts that she said throughout her story were able to be confirmed and it was one of those shocked the nation type of stories because but also India is known for this, right that they believe this, Yeah, they are all about past lives. Bruce and Andrea Layninger, from California, welcome their son, James on April tenth, nineteen ninety eight, and then moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, where James grew up. When he was about two years old, he started having nightmares that would wakem and he would scream and be crying and everything. The parents would find him kicking and screaming as if he was trapped somewhere, and they claimed to hear him say airplane crash, plane on fire, little man can't get out. These events continued. Eventually, his mother asked who the little man in the plane was, and James simply answered with me. James started developing an obsession with other aircraft from World War Two, knowing details that no kid his age should have known or would be able to understand. I'm saying, like for an adult, some of these tools are hard to describe. But he would look at the instrument and say, this is this, this is what this does, this is the other thing. And then one afternoon he was at his mother and said, Mama, before I was born, I was a pilot and my airplane got shot down in the engine and crashing the water, and that's how I died. And James's father went looking for books and found a book with pictures and was able to give him information. The father found that the strange names that his son would mention with details about the names of his plane, even the ship that he used to sail in existed. Now. Eerie details about where his plane had crashed were also coming to the surface. Basically there were records of a plane crashing there. Eventually they discovered that this man that his son kept talking about may have been Navy pilot James Huston Junior, who died during the war after being hit and crashing into the water. We don't know a lot about James now because he tries to stay away from the spotlight, unlike us, which we live in the spotlight all the time. Wait, so do you remember any of your past lives. You know, I've had these really vivid dreams of me fighting, which is really odd but oh interesting whenever there's war movies, I don't like them, but also like fighting with like swords and like weirdly, I remember a chain very vividly, and I brought it up to believe it or not a therapist. At one point I was like, this is so bizarre, Like I think, I don't like this, like I'm getting these thoughts, and she mentioned like past lives, like past live regressions and things like that. I'm like, you should be science all all the way. No, I like a woo woo therapist. Some stuff is gonna be woo woo. No matter what, do you remember any of your past lives. I've done a few past life regressions and I've gotten a few like little snippers. We you've actually done that. Yeah, you can do them. They're like meditations you can do. I've done a few on YouTube, so I wouldn't know how like legit these are, but they are with Brian Weiss, so he's like the guy, if you're going to do a past life meditation or whatever regression. But I have gotten this clip of me looking down and my hair being cut and falling on the ground. What Yeah, And then I looked up what that meant and it was like women who maybe got pregnant out of wedlock, they'd have to go to places where they would get their hair cut and be shunned in Ireland and stuff like that. I was like, that's pretty weird, shame because I didn't know that. And then I looked it up and I was like, oh, yeah, that's strange. Does that affect you in any way? Now? I don't know. I just think it's one of those weird crossover things where you're like, I don't know if it affects me in like an outwardly way, maybe an internally way, I don't know. And then I had another image of me jumping off a bridge. I didn't I don't know if it's the same past life or not, I don't know, but it seemed very similar. If it is, was it an old like yeah, old timey, all like weird turn of the century stuff. And then I have this weird image of like somebody dropping me off at an old house in like the nineteen twenties, which as like a kid. So I don't know what that's about you can make the whole story out of it. You were dropped off at a house, you got pregnant there, and they cut my hair, they cut my long, luscious, bright red hair, and then you're so sad that you went to a bridge. And then at some point I became a school teacher and committed suicide off a bridge or whatever. I don't know. There's something about being a school teacher and jumping off a bridge. We had to work on it more. Did you hear the theory of like why men are obsessed with the Roman Empire? No, it's like tied to past lives. No, because like so many men fought in the Roman Empire that like they think about it all the time. They don't put two or two together. But it's like a past life thing. What mentioned fighting? I know, do you think of the Roman Empire a lot? When I was learning about it when I was in school, I was, I really like the idea of it. I mean, I thought about it too. I don't think I think about like fighting, but I liked the Roman Empire. Yeah, it's weird because I also remember things like the feeling of burning leather, like if you're wearing like these really hot boots in the sun. I remember, like, it's kind of that feeling that comes at the same time. But no, I want to do one of those past life regression things, but I'm kind of afraid. The whole thing is that you're safe and you're just looking back like everything's already happened, you know, so you're just kind of watching it like a movie. And that's kind of how it is. I bought this book while back called like self Hypnosis or Hypnotize Yourself or something. It was like an old timey book because it kept saying like get your cassette player and record yourself or something like that. It was like a record yourself. So there was this thing you would read to yourself and then you would make it loop. At this time, I always I was able to do in the computer, and it just kept repeating it and made a big old file and then just kept playing it. And then I just sat down early evening, late afternoon and I started playing it. And then next thing year, I wake up the next morning at like seven or six in the morning, and I'm like, how did this happen? Oh? Yeah, I mean the stuff that I was repeating to myself there were positive things, I know that, but there were dark times for me back then because I was just looking for like solutions of something like what am I doing with my life? I get it was that when you were just sitting in the chair. Yeah, and then your mom looked in on you and didn't do anything. Yeah, yeah, okay, I remember she would be used to too, because like I would kind of sleep the whole day sometimes because you know, it's interesting because you do those past life regressions and yeah, it could just be like you're entering like a dream state, but it is like specific thing that had a cause. This is such a random image for you to just visualize out of nowhere. But yeah, I recommend you try it out. So Brian Weiss is the guy. He's the guy that does it all the time, and it's apparently supposed to help with trauma too, like a lot of a lot of the trauma with carry could come from past lives too. I'm going to record myself while I do it, and if I get too embarrass they will never see the light of day. And if it's cool and have content, that's fair. That's what we all want is content. But yeah, did you find anything that like scientists said about past lives, the theories about de ja voud, that makes sense, like scientifically, yeah, you just didn't really see it. Then it registers in your brain and you're like, what, but I want to see like what people say about past lives, because it's like when you get stories like Ryan and Martin or whatever and little Man and like you go and you fact check it. Like the extension of little Man because he was in that show I've been watching, is that he wouldn't drop it. They actually went and met his sister, met little Man's sister who he bonded with this old woman who was little Man's sister from World War Two, and then they ended up having to go out to the South Pacific and like lay the wreath down where the plane went down so he could finally put down those memories and start like living his life as a current person. Well what is that if it's not a past life? Like why did that kid pick up on that so much? And know all these things? Science has its limits too, right, Like when you try to find the answer to something that we are not close to figuring out yet. You know how when you hear about like science exploring energies and altering certain states of whatever. There's still a stigma. We're like, yeah, right, who's funding this? Like you'd rather stick with, you know, physics and chemistry and all these other things, But there's definitely something there where you kind of have to believe that there's something else or maybe we are just energies that are flowing into another body somewhere. I mean, I guess the other thing is that we could all just be one consciousness and then someone's just picking up on something. But then how do you explain the specifics? Like how do you explain the kid that knew the life of the guy who wrote Gone with the Wind. You're not showing a three year old Gone with the Wind. They'd never like sit through it. It's interesting to me because I think religion has a concept of it. If it says your spirit returns to maybe you go to heaven after they're referring to something a part of you that goes, your soul goes or whatever. People you know in India who believe in reincarnation, you die when you come back as some other thing. During that stage of my life when I was like researching all these things and going to church and trying to sort things out and everything he came across this book. Basically it's this guy he's so frustrated with his life that he starts writing to God supposedly, and then he in his mind starts right like his pen starts moving on its own, like basically he's writing for someone else. He starts getting all these messages and answers to things that in no way he would know on his own, like he was just or was just coming from part of that set of studies. There's three books in it. They talk about how we are really just infinite beings that choose where they want to go back to and choose who they want to interact with. To me, it was a creepy thing. Is I'm like, this could be true, but I don't want to turn into one of those you know, crazies on the internet talking about this all the time and where I am and all of the stories. Here we are and we're not quite coast to coast yet, we're not quite Joe Rogan yet. We're not there. We're not there yet, but we're not there yet. But we'd be happy for their audiences, for their money. I'll take it. Well, this guy off topic. But anyway, there's no answer to past lives. I mean not that I even researched it, because it's just what are science is going to say, like, oh, yeah, well used to live this on the I mean energies. I think people to explain this, you know, they can transcend time and all that. Maybe I don't know. But anyway, from these cases that I mentioned of past lives, there are only a few of the hundreds of stuff that Maddy and I have found online. Oh there's so many out there, and I do recommend let me find the name of that chew the ghost inside my child. It really is called death. I like the keyword use ghost. Yeah, I mean ghosts inside my child. But yes, it's on Discovery. Plus it's pretty good for some people. These stories might just be the proof you need to believe that those who walk among us in fact may have been here before. Or perhaps it's all you need to reassure you that maybe you have been here as well, and we'll all meet again if we want to see that. That's a cool thing. You can choose, all right, that's what they say, And some people choose to suffer a supposed liso. You choose it for the experience. I think we just got all like, we got very deep, or you could say we're all full of shit and just tune in next week. What are we gonna talk about next week, Michelle, I don't know, but it'll probably be a surprise. Cool see you guys. Scary Mystery Surprise is hosted by Michelle Newman and Edwin Komarubies.
