Dr. Ian Stevenson: Reincarnation Research & Past Lives

Children remember dying in past lives. Researchers like Dr. Ian Stevenson verify they happened. 3,000 cases. 40 years of data. This is what they discovered... Is reincarnation real?

Is there scientific proof of a past life? In this episode, I open up the archives on Dr. Ian Stevenson, the psychiatrist who spent 40 years investigating children who remember previous lives. Stevenson founded the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia to apply the scientific method to the paranormal.

Topics include (among others):

• The Biology of Reincarnation: Investigating the statistical correlation between birthmarks, birth defects, and the fatal wounds of deceased personalities.

• Scientific Verification: How UVA researchers distinguish genuine spontaneous recall in children from fantasy and fraud.

• The Xenoglossy Phenomenon: Analyzing rare cases where subjects speak unlearned languages, and what this suggests about the transfer of personality after death.
