TV Show About Children's Memories

Mama2HRB said:
If you watched Cade's story you will see that he was bullied after he told kids of his story. He was the child whose Mom posted here about dying on the Twin Towers. I am the Mom she mentioned who found out who he was. I pray that things are better for him with this new school year.

I remember that. I hope things are better for him too.


I know that Cade's mom (and if you're reading this, you're VERY brave!) didn't want to contact the man's family due to how awkward and painful it may be, which is perfectly understandable. Although, it seems a lot of kids were able to find closure and peace that way- if not directly contacting the family, then visiting where they died or something related to that in order to close that chapter and move on with their current life (like the girl visiting Oklahoma City, James meeting his past life sister and going to Chichi Jima, the former screenwriter visiting Hollywood, the boy's going to the Titanic exhibit, having one last terrible nightmare, then finally being at peace, etc.) But obviously that's a highly personal decision that depends on many factors.


Although the videos are gone from Bio's website now, the pilot plus three more episodes (according to "The Ghost Inside My Child"'s Facebook page, that's all that was ordered by the channel so far, and they're waiting to be picked up again!) can all be found searching video.google.com, Amazon, iTunes, and the like.
 
It's kind of frustrating to see what's happening to the media business. Newspapers, TV, radio, etc. The good shows disappear and are replaced with c***p because it's cheaper to make.
 
I would like to let you know that two episodes of the show are available at www.dailymotion.com. I watched them both. What strikes me as odd, and I would love to hear other people´s opinion about this, is that the family were able to solve a good deal of the cases involving strangers and pretty obscure lives ("Pam" in the hotel fire case, the identity of the soviet soldier and the Hollywood writer). Given the fact that very talented researchers like the late Dr. Stevenson and Dr. Tucker were hardly able to solve a single "American stranger case" (as opposed to same family cases) the relative ease with which the cases were solved (supposedly by the families) makes be feel somewhat doubtful as do their autenticity (or parts of it)...Thoughts on this are very welcome!
 
It is extremely difficult to find verifiable American cases, because American children, unlike children in some other cultures, do not remember much specific detail that can be verified. I've had only two or three in my experience that I felt were authentic--the Leininger case and 9/11 baby on the Forum--whose mother shared with me details that pointed to a specific person.


When the producers of this show approached me about giving them cases, I felt that in the time constraints they had, it would be almost impossible coming up with good cases that were authentic and that would present well on TV. I also wanted a chance to check out the cases myself before they used them. I knew they were in a rush, and what they wanted (about 10 cases) was unrealistic, so I backed out. (And for other reasons, too.) So I was very surprised that they came up with as many cases as they did. Some stories were more convincing than others. It will be interesting to see if there are any more episodes of this show.
 
Thank you, Carol, for your reply, I appreciate that! Your experience seems to totally agree with that of the researchers of the University of Virginia - that American cases are difficult to verify (concerning the "hard data") and until now solved "stranger cases" are few and far between, so it is a little surprising that the show was able to present three solved cases while skilled researchers like you and the Drs. Stevenson and Tuckers who have been involved years or even decades in serious research can present a handfull or so! Also, I have learnt about the claim that the father of one of the subjects appeared as a "paranormal witness" of another show of the same channel. While it might actually be that one person is involved in a variety of paranormal phenomena it doesn´t exactly contribute to the credibility of the show...Maybe the cases were real but they added data that the child had never given to make it fit? I do not know...

Dr. Stevenson didn't have the internet. There have been several cases here on the forum in the last 12 months where members have been able to help new members research online and find validation. More and more archives are being made available online now. In the digital age you can search using key words which is a lot faster than searching through stacks of books at a library somewhere. You can also search for translations of foreign words that children mention.
 
Transience


Just read an interesting book about a child remembering a past life. It's called Transience. Had an interesting theory about the childhood latency period and how it relates to the merger of old and new soul.
 
For me, I seriously doubt the credibility of the show. I have losely followed the "commenty by other users" section on their facebook page. An Afro-American lady posted a photo of herself as a little child and her mother and said that this picture looked exactly like that from which the boy in one episode identified Pam and politely asked for a clarification. She seemed geniunely confused. Today I did not find this comment anymore it probably was removed. Even though it might be that the lady was just plain wrong or lied or whatever it clearly needed to be clarified or made clear that it was a different photo.
