He told me that someone
had come into his home

and had shot his parents
while they were in bed.

And he said that he died
when his parents killed him.

I honestly didn't
know what to do.

I said, how did you
pick me as your mommy?

He says, I followed your
footsteps in the snow.

He says that he was asking
God that in his next life

he wants to come back
with the same family.

He suffered from extreme
separation anxiety.

All of a sudden, I just
hear this really loud scream.

He started pointing.

Don't you see that, Mommy?

Don't you see that?

And I said, see what?

It's just
heartbreaking for anyone

who has kids to know that their
kid feels unsafe and scared.

I feel very helpless.

And when we found out the
truth, it was devastating.

My name is Margie.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I have two sons.

Nicholas, he's 14.

And Ryan, he's 11.

We have shows, concerts,
the best restaurants.

Vegas is really a great city
to see and do many things,

as well as raise a family.

Ryan was delivered by C-section.

He was 6 pounds, 13 ounces.

And I didn't have any
complications with my pregnancy

or delivery.

He was about two weeks early.

It was almost like Ryan
couldn't wait to arrive.

Ryan had a pretty
normal development,

got his first tooth
at eight months.

He started walking at 14 months.

But he was a lot smaller
than our first son.

From a very young
age, we noticed

that Ryan was very intelligent.

Hi.

My name's Kerry.

I am Ryan's father.

Ryan has always had very
good language skills.

He could speak very
clearly and very accurately

on what he was describing to us.

He had a big vocabulary and
could carry on a conversation

with an adult with no problem.

It was like we were speaking
to an adult and not a child.

Many people were surprised
when they spoke with Ryan

at how clearly he could speak.

He was really quite
articulate for a little kid.

It was interesting to hear
what he would have to say.

He was very
mature for his age.

Looking back, our
first child, Nick,

he was very fearful
of a lot of things.

Whereas Ryan had no fear.

Ryan was very adventurous.

He'd be the kid climbing
up a car, climbing up a tree,

jumping off a wall, jumping
off the couch onto his brother.

He was definitely fearless
to almost a fault.

And he was definitely a
brave kid, loved to mix it up

with the older boys.

Even though he
was a bit smaller,

he would always be right
in there with them all.

Which made us think that
he's really different.

He's unique.

The first time we noticed
something unusual about Ryan

is when he first
started preschool.

He suffered from extreme
separation anxiety

when we would drop
him off at school.

He'd be fine in the car ride.

But when you got
to the parking lot,

that's when things started to
escalate, as far as him getting

nervous or getting antsy.

When I would walk
Ryan into the classroom,

he would cling onto my leg and
say, don't leave, don't leave.

Don't go, Mommy.

No.

He'd be in the
classroom with his hands

up against the window.

And he'd be turning
different shades of purple.

And it would just break my
heart because I had to leave.

I had to go to work.

When you got to class,
you had to sneak away really

quickly, get him involved
in playing with a toy.

When I asked his teacher
how long he would be upset

for after I left, the teacher
said the crying would continue

for about an hour.

This went on the entire
time he was in preschool.

With Ryan, with the separation
anxiety, we just thought,

he's a different kid.

He completely acts completely
different from his brother.

Nicholas was always different.

He would walk through
the door and kind of wave

as he's running down the
hallway away from you.

He was completely the opposite.

We just chalked that up to
he's just not comfortable

being left alone, where Nicholas
was absolutely fine with it.

After working with three- and
four-year-olds over the past

three years, I've experienced
some separation anxiety with

children.

However, I've only seen
one case where it has been

to the extreme where Ryan was.

He was afraid that he was
going to be left there.

When Ryan was experiencing
the separation anxiety,

he was feeling that I wasn't
going to come back to pick him

up.

It made my husband
and I feel upset.

We didn't know what to do.

We didn't know how
to handle this.

And it made me feel sad.

We wondered why he would
get so upset when we left.

And when we found out the
truth, it was devastating.

My name is Joanna.

My son's name is Aiden.

He is six years old.

I am a stay-at-home mom.

And I live in Lowell,
Massachusetts.

I was born and raised here.

I love it here, very
comfortable here.

There's lots of
friendly people here.

The schools are great.

Lowell has been
very up and coming.

It grew from a small town to
a really, really big town.

When Aiden was a newborn,
people would always come up

to me, even strangers,
and they would always

comment on how well he was able
to hold up his head at such

an early age.

After that, he started
rolling over on his own.

By the age of four months, he
was drinking out of sippy cups.

And by the time
he turned to one,

he could have a
conversation with you.

With Aiden, everything just
happened much more quickly.

My name is Marlin.

I'm Aiden's other mom,
and Joanna is my wife.

When it was Aiden's physical and
we bring Aiden to the doctors,

he starts spelling
all the letters

that he saw on the wall.

And I said, whoa.

Even when the doctor hear him
doing that, she was amazed.

It was amazing.

I was in shock when he
started doing all that.

I was really proud,
you know, because I had

this smart, intelligent kid.

I've fostered over 100 children,
all infants and toddlers.

And compared to them,
Aiden was far beyond.

His capabilities, his
knowledge was so much more

than any other normal
child that I've ever seen.

He was about a year
old when we first

noticed something unusual.

We were all sitting
in the living room.

And Aiden seemed to be very
spaced out in his own world.

So my partner turns to
Aiden and asks him, Aiden,

what are you thinking about?

Aiden says that he
was talking to God.

So I asked him what was
he talking to God about.

And he says that he was asking
God that in his next life,

he wants to come back
with the same family.

We didn't understand
exactly what he meant.

What did he mean come back?

I jump up, and I hug him.

I feel amazing that he say
that, that he want to come back.

And I told him, I
want you come back.

But that was
only the beginning.

I noticed that when he was
playing alone during the day,

at times he would stare, sort
of like if he was looking

at someone else across from him.

And he would just be talking,
like having a conversation

with someone.

And at times, it seemed
like he was arguing, sort of

like arguing with another kid
that was playing with him,

but no one was there.

At first, I didn't
think much about it.

I just thought he
was playing pretend.

But then as time went by,
he just kept doing it.

And it was something that was
happening on a daily basis.

And eventually, he started
putting a name to it.

And he would call the
other person Sarah.

At one time, I was in
the kitchen cooking.

And I asked him,
Aiden, who's Sarah?

And he looks at me kind of like
in a way like, don't you know?

And he just looks at me
and says, Mom, it's Sarah.

She's my sister.

And I just looked at him
and said, what do you mean?

You don't have a
sister named Sarah.

And he just looks at me
and says, yes, I do, Mom.

One day, Aiden was
doodling on a notepad.

And all of a sudden, this
commercial came up on TV.

And Aiden just lifted his
head up and said, oh, my mommy

had hair like that.

And I looked at him,
and I said, what mommy?

I don't have hair like that.

He says, no, my other mommy.

I'm married to another
woman, so obviously I

thought he was speaking
about my partner.

And I asked him, you
mean, Mommy Marlin?

And he says, no, not Mommy
Marlin, my other mom.

And I explained to him, Aiden,
you came out of my belly.

You have no other mommy
except the two mommies

you live with right now.

And at that point he
got very agitated.

I was very confused.

I didn't know if these
were dreams he was having.

I didn't know what was going on.

My son, Ryan, had a
very advanced vocabulary

and was very mature.

But every time we would
drop him off at preschool,

he would become hysterical.

It was like he thought we were
never going to see him again.

Mommy, no!

No parent wants
to see their kid

screaming and crying
and being scared

to be left in a classroom.

I mean, that's
just heartbreaking

for anyone who has kids to
know that their kid feels

unsafe and scared.

You don't ever want that.

I have this fearless child.

And then all of a sudden he is
just clinging to me for dear

life.

I couldn't figure out
why he was afraid.

And it made me feel sad.

We didn't know what to do.

One day, he came to me with
something totally unexpected.

When Ryan had just turned four,
he looked up at me and said,

you're the best
mommy I've ever had.

And I said, Ryan, I'm the
only mommy you've ever had.

And he-- mm-mm, he says.

I had another mommy and daddy.

And I said, you did?

And he said, yeah, I
picked you as my mommy.

I said, how did you
pick me as your mommy?

He says, I followed you.

I said, where did you follow me?

He says, I followed your
footsteps in the snow.

I couldn't believe
what I was hearing.

I was blown away, because
Ryan had never seen snow.

We live in Vegas.

However, I am from
the East Coast.

I'm from Pennsylvania,
where we have bad winters.

And I have spent plenty of
time walking in the snow.

When Margie first
told me what he had said

and how he had found her
going through the snow,

that was pretty amazing to me.

Little kids have fun making
up stories and stuff.

Being in preschool with a
bunch of other little kids,

you know, you never know if
he's coming up with stories

along with their stories and
embellishing what he's already

heard and regurgitating
the information to us.

So at first, you know, it's a
little skepticism on my side,

for sure.

I'd never talked to Ryan
about what happens to a person

before they're born.

I didn't know where
this was coming from.

Ryan does have a lot
of empathy for people,

people who are less fortunate,
people with disabilities,

or people that are bullied.

When I asked Ryan what he
wanted to be when he was older,

he said that he wanted
to be in the military.

He also said that he wanted
to be a police officer.

The two jobs that Ryan
expressed an interest in

was more about like
protecting people.

That's what he wanted to do.

He wanted to protect people.

Ryan has a grandfather
that was in the military.

But his grandpa never talked
to him about the military.

There was no other
family members

that were police officers.

So I didn't know where this
interest was coming from.

Soon I discovered why he
had such a strong desire

to help others.

And the reason was more
than I could handle.

Our son Aiden spoke a lot
about an imaginary friend named

Sarah who he claimed
was his sister.

He said that he chose
me, and he came back,

and that's how he was born.

And he looked at me and
said, no, I did have

another mom in my other house.

And that really creeped
me out a little bit.

And I just look at him
and say, what other house?

This is the only house
you've ever lived in.

And he says, no, my other
house, the light one

with the dark blue shutters.

My other room is there.

My mom is there.

My dad is there.

And Sarah's there and
so are my three cats.

Aiden would always draw
pictures of the other house.

And he drew these pictures
on more than one occasion.

So when he explained all of
this, it kind of shocked me.

Each time, I would
ask him the same thing

to see if the
story would change.

It was always consistent.

Whenever I would tell Aiden that
his other family did not exist,

that Sarah didn't exist, he
would get very upset with me.

And he would look at me with
this emotion in his face,

like how could you?

Or how dare you?

And Aiden would always say,
no, that was my family.

Sarah's my sister.

And it's all real.

I was very confused.

It hurt my feelings when Aiden
spoke about another family.

But it didn't seem to affect him
negatively, so I didn't worry.

But then one night,
everything changed.

Aiden was never afraid
of the dark before ever.

But we were all sleeping in bed.

And all of a sudden,
out of nowhere,

I just hear this
really loud scream.

I got up from bed, I ran
upstairs to his bedroom.

And I ran in there and
asked him what's going on.

And he was trembling,
freaking out, and saying,

Sarah scared me.

Sarah scared me.

I just went straight to his bed.

I comforted him and told him
everything was OK, that maybe

he was having a nightmare.

And he said, no, I was
not having a nightmare.

Sarah put on a mask,
and she scared me.

She's playing tricks.

Sarah had-- she was
putting on scary masks.

It was like faces, like
different faces of masks.

She only scared me at night.

Before, I didn't
see Sarah as a threat.

But this night,
something just changed.

He became afraid of the dark.

And he'll call me into his
room even with the lights on,

and he'll tell me he's scared.

It's completely different
from how he used to be.

I never took him to a therapist.

It never crossed my mind of
him having any mental issues.

And as a mom, I
feel very helpless.

I just don't know what to do.

After that night, Aiden told me
that Sarah liked to play tricks

on him all the time.

And he refused to go
back to his room alone.

He kept saying, Sarah
is going to scare me.

So Aiden pretty much
slept in our room

for a long period of time.

Nothing could have prepared
me for what happened next.

One day, Aiden and I
were driving in the car.

And Aiden was in the
backseat talking to Sarah.

And I asked him, Aiden, what
are you and Sarah talking about?

And he says, about when I died.

That just freaked me out.

I had no idea what to say
to what he just told me.

There's no possible way that
Aidan could have overheard

about reincarnation
because we've never

taken our kids to church.

I was raised in the
Pentecostal religion.

We were taught that
once you die, you die,

and that's it until
God comes back,

and he takes all
the souls with him.

Reincarnation is very taboo
in the Latino culture.

I would say especially
more so in the religion

that I was brought up in.

Later, when I calmed down a bit,
and I had some time to think,

I wondered if this was what he
was talking about with Sarah.

Like, it wasn't
make believe to him.

He really thought he had another
life with another family.

It scared me a
little bit for him.

I didn't know what to do.

Then he scared me a lot when
he told me what happened to him

with the other family.

Since my son Aiden
could talk, he's

always told me that he's had
this other family and a sister

named Sarah.

But one night, he became
terrified and told us

that Sarah was scaring him.

One day, Aiden and I
were driving in the car.

And Aiden was in the
backseat talking to Sarah.

I asked him, Aiden, what are
you and Sarah talking about?

And he says, about when I died.

I honestly didn't know what
to make of all of this.

I asked him why he was
here and Sarah was not.

Aiden said, because his mom
and dad were very mean to them.

And that's how he died.

When Aiden told me that he died
because his parents were very

bad to them, I didn't
know what to think.

I was in complete shock.

I began to sweat, yet
my hands were cold.

I had to pull over the car.

It was a total shock.

Everybody in the world
lives more than once.

If you want to go to the
same place of your life,

you can tell God
that when you die,

if you want to go
in your same family.

I always knew he had
an imaginary family.

But I always thought
it was harmless.

That's when I noticed this
is not just make-believe.

Was he talking about
being killed or hurt?

What kind of images
were in his head?

Why was my 3-year-old son
talking about death and dying?

That's when everything changed.

I wasn't sure what
to think about it.

But Aiden was very sure
that this was happening

and this was his past life.

So that's what really mattered.

When Aiden said his parent
in his past life hurt him

and that's why he
died, it hurt me a lot.

It was painful.

I feel very bad for Aiden.

When Aiden brought up
his parents being bad

and that's how him
and Sarah died,

he did seem a little
sad that Sarah

was not back in this world.

As a mom, it really
broke my heart

not knowing what to do to help.

You don't want your
kids to be hurt.

And listening to your
son, your 3-year-old,

speaking about death and dying,
is one of the hardest things

that you can go
through as a parent.

I didn't want to ask him
much more detail about

that because I was so confused
myself that I didn't know

if asking him would confuse him,
bring up some emotion in him.

So I just left it alone.

But I started realizing that
this really is happening,

and Aiden is really
having past-life memories.

My son Ryan had severe
separation anxiety.

He told me that he remembers
following my footsteps

in the snow and
choosing me as his mom.

I was just starting to notice
that there was something

different about my son.

I just didn't know
what it was yet.

One day, Ryan and I were
out in the backyard.

It was starting to turn dark.

And Ryan was startled.

He was trembling.

He started crying.

I didn't know why.

He started pointing,
don't you see that, Mommy?

Don't you see that?

And I said, see what?

He says, that light, that
light, the glowing light.

I said no, I don't see it.

And he ran in the house.

I couldn't see what
Ryan was seeing.

So I didn't understand
why he was so upset.

When she first mentioned
that Ryan was seeing

the glowing lights, I actually,
you know, wasn't too sure--

little kids'
imaginations, reflections

on the wall from toys that
light up, or computer screens,

anything like that.

So I didn't really
pay it too much mind.

When he first started seeing
them, it was occasional.

And then it became more often.

He would describe these
lights as glowing colors,

and they would surround him.

They made him very afraid.

At first, Ryan only saw
the glowing lights outside.

And then he started
seeing them upstairs.

And it made him fearful of
being upstairs by himself.

Ryan was a very brave kid.

And the only other time
that I've ever seen him

terrified like this
is when he was going

through the separation anxiety.

Don't go, Mommy!

No.

I didn't know what these
lights were or what they meant.

But I knew it wasn't normal
for Ryan to make things up.

So I knew what he was
seeing and saying was true.

I just didn't know what to do.

It made me feel helpless.

One day, he came to me with
something so unexpected.

I always encourage both my
boys to speak with me openly.

I just wanted them to know
that they could always

come to me with whatever
they wanted to talk about.

But then one day when Ryan told
me that he had another family,

I was shocked.

When my son was
a little boy, he

used to cry hysterically
when I left him at daycare.

Don't go, Mommy!

No.

He told me that he remembered
choosing me as his mother

and had an intense
need to protect others.

And then one day, he
saw glowing lights

that no one else could see.

He kept seeing them
and couldn't understand

why no one else could see them.

Ryan came to me and told me
that he had a different mommy

and daddy.

When I asked him what happened
to his mommy and daddy,

he had told me that someone
had come into his home

and had shot his parents
while they were in bed.

He told me that his
granny and his grandpa--

and these are titles
that we didn't use,

granny was not a title that
we used-- took care of him.

And they lived on a
farm in a huge house.

And they had six dogs.

And the little dog used to
ride in the back of the pickup

truck.

Ryan was telling me this
story with no emotion.

It was all just matter of fact.

This is my story.

This was my life.

Ryan was so young.

I couldn't understand
where this was coming from.

He didn't watch anything on
television that was violent.

We never exposed
him to any violence.

There was no one even in
the family that ever talked

about anything violent.

When Ryan told me that his
parents were shot in their bed,

I said, my goodness,
that's a terrible story.

I didn't know what else to say.

I was speechless.

Ryan even had a
name for himself.

He told me that his
name was Ed Johnson.

My mouth dropped.

I had goose bumps.

I couldn't believe
what I was hearing.

It sent chills up my spine.

I didn't say anything.

I didn't know what to
say at that moment.

I wondered why Ryan was very
just nonchalant, matter of fact

about the whole story,
such a violent story.

I was amazed by my
son's confidence

while sharing this information.

Ryan had so many details to his
story, which made the story all

the more real to me.

I began to wonder if my son
was remembering a past life.

I grew up Catholic.

I went to church every Sunday.

But reincarnation is something
that we never talked about.

But I was always curious.

And because Ryan was so
detailed with his information,

it just made me all
the more curious.

When she first told me the
story that Ryan spoke about,

with him running in
the back of the truck

with his grandparents
and the dogs,

I originally believed, you
know, that could have been

a little story that he made up.

So once Margie mentioned
the story Ryan was telling

in depth, especially
about the murdered part,

that was a little intense.

For a little kid of three and
four years old to be saying

something along those lines
was a little bit upsetting

because at that time he was not
allowed to watch any detective

shows or murder mysteries.

He was just too little.

He was watching cartoon
stuff, small things.

I don't know where he would
have heard something like that.

After Ryan had told me the
story, I was pretty disturbed.

There was so many details, which
led me to believe that this was

the truth.

Then all of a sudden his
separation anxiety made sense.

When we dropped
him off at school,

he was afraid he'd
never see us again.

The reason why he wanted to be
in law enforcement made sense.

And the fact that he could see
things that most people could

not finally made sense.

He truly believed that
he had a past life.

When I heard the story
firsthand from Ryan,

you kind of get a different
feel on what exactly

is being brought to you,
the intensity of it.

You kind of think there's
something a little more to this

than just a made-up tale.

It's kind of tough for a
three- and four-year-old

to come up with detailed stuff.

It's an absolute eye-opener
when you see your child

and hear from the
child saying this

to you in complete
and open honesty

that this is what happened,
and this is who he was.

And you sit there
and you go, huh, OK,

could be a little
bit more to this.

Ryan had very few
memories of his past life

except for the incident
with his parents and details

surrounding that.

The thing that shocked me
more is that he had a name.

His name was Ed Johnson.

I started to do some
research, and I could not

believe what I found.

My son Ryan told me that
he picked me to be his mom.

But he really
surprised me when he

told me a story about a
family that he had before.

He told me they were shot
and killed in their bed.

But the thing that
shocked me even more

is that he had a name.

It was devastating to hear
this from my little boy.

My name is Ryan.

And I'm in sixth grade.

I'm 11, and I live in Las Vegas.

It is kind of cool that I've
had a past life because,

like, it's two lives.

Not most people get that.

And it's just kind of neat
to like figure out who I was.

I felt like Ryan had given
me a good amount of information

about his past.

But I wanted to know more.

So I started to
do some research.

I was able to find
two stories that

matched Ryan's descriptions.

The first story, a 16-year-old
was confused when her parents

didn't get up.

So she went into the room
and found her parents

shot and killed in bed.

They were the parents
of seven children.

And there was a lot of
similarities to Ryan's story,

the way the parents were killed,
and the fact that the seven

children were sent with their
relatives to live on a farm.

Another story, the parents of
three were shot in their bed.

The killer let
the children live.

But unfortunately, the
children overheard what

was happening to their parents.

When I share these
stories with Ryan,

I'm not going to share all
the gory details with him.

I'm going to give him
names, era, places,

and see if he has any
connection with the stories.

The first article took place in
1961 in Hartington, Arkansas.

A 16-year-old girl who wondered
why her parents did not

get up and turn off their alarm
found them dead in their bed.

Wow.

The second article took place
in 1939 in Edinburgh, Indiana.

At midnight, an intruder
had come into the house

and killed her
mother and father.

They were found in bed.

Hmm.

I don't know.

As Ryan has gotten older,
his memories of a past life

have faded.

So there is a possibility
that we may never connect.

And Ryan will never, never
know who he was in a past life.

Does either one of these
articles connect more to you?

No.

No?

Although these stories were
very similar to the stories

that Ryan was telling
me, none of these stories

had the name Ed Johnson.

I'm very curious to find out
who Ryan was in a past life--

who he was, what he did--

and then I can compare
it to his life now.

I'm going to
continue to research.

And even though I may never
find the answers of who Ryan was

in a past life, I am
just so happy that I

have an amazing
special son this life.

I would like to be a police
officer because how my parents

passed away in my past life.

And I would like to prevent that
from happening to other people.

Ryan's a great kid.

He's growing up strong.

Tough little guy,
love him to death,

and just always want him
to be happy and safe.

Ryan saw my
footsteps in the snow.

And I see one of the best
sons a mother could ever have.

My son Aiden spoke about
having another family.

And he said that he died
when his parents killed

him and his sister.

I honestly didn't
know what to do.

It freaked me out.

I had no idea about past lives.

So I didn't really
have much to go on.

And even worse, I had
no way to help my son.

So I went online
to do some research

to see what I could find.

Well, a lot of
the stories that I

was reading about other
kids and their past lives,

it made a lot of sense.

And it sounded a lot like Aiden.

Other kids talking
about coming back,

kids talking about
their other moms

and picking their family, which
is exactly what Aiden would

say.

Every time I read
a different story,

there was always something
in there that just resonated

with everything Aiden said.

Once I started
reading more and more,

I started realizing that
this really is happening.

And I realized that
he was actually

talking about a past life.

When I started reading
all these stories,

I felt some comfort in knowing
that there's other people

out there going
through the same thing.

And now I finally found
some type of an outlet

to be able to learn,
to understand my child.

One day, I just randomly
decided to ask him

what happened with Sarah because
he doesn't seem to mention her

as much as he used to.

And he just looked at me,
and he looked kind of sad,

and told me that he
wasn't sure what happened,

but she doesn't come visit
him as much as she used to.

I remember Sarah, but I
haven't talked to her a while.

After that, he just
shrugged his shoulders.

And he said, it's
OK, because I know

that she's with me anyways.

But as he got older and
I started learning more,

I was worried that it might
cause something that he might

not be able to work through.

Aiden is six years old now.

And he still has
problems sleeping.

So I had to take him
into the doctors.

And they had to
prescribe him melatonin.

It's the only way
to get him to sleep.

Then one night, Joanna forget
to give him the medicine.

And then I walk to his
room, and he was awake.

And I said, yo, buddy, what are
you doing awake at this time?

And he said, Mommy, I
was awake all night.

I see the sun came
out and everything.

He don't sleep all
through the night.

He was awake.

So while his past life
memories are fading,

the problems caused by his
past life still remain.

He needs to rest.

He has to go to school.

He need to learn.

We need rest.

My main concern for Aiden
is if these memories are still

around, how will they
affect him in the future?

But I'm not giving up.

I need to find a
way to help my son.

My son Aiden told us
that he had another family

and was killed by his parents.

I didn't know what to do.

So I started researching online.

And I realized that
he was actually

talking about a past life.

Aiden is six now and
still afraid of the dark.

And he cannot sleep
without medication.

It's very difficult as a
parent to listen to your child

speaking about a past life
memory or past life traumas

and not knowing what to
do, not having anyone

to talk to about it and
not knowing where to turn.

Recently, we sat Aiden down
to talk about his past life.

But he got really emotional
and angry about it.

It seems like he's
forgetting the memories,

but he's still holding
on to the emotions.

I talk to God a little bit and
have trouble sleeping at night.

I saw Tan and her six-year-old
son Brennan on "Ghost Inside My

Child."

When my son Brennan told me
he fell off the roof and died,

I didn't know what to think.

I don't really know
where to go with that.

They don't really teach you
that in parenting class--

what to do when
your child tells you

about a past-life experience.

And I asked him, so when you
fell off the roof, did it hurt?

And he was like, yeah, it hurt.

I fell off the roof and died.

I saw lots of similarities
between Brennan and Aiden.

So I decided to
reach out to her.

I think it's important for Aiden
to know that he is not alone

and that there's other
kids out there like him.

And I find comfort in knowing
that I'm not the only mom going

through this and knowing that
there's someone else out there

that I can speak to.

I'm Tan.

I'm Brennan's mom.

And we were invited here
to Massachusetts by Joanna.

Joanna thought it would
be a good idea for us

to get together because
both of our sons

have past-life experiences.

Is that a pelican?

I don't know.

But it's so cute
to see them together.

I know.

I did tell Brennan a
little bit about him

and how we were meeting someone
who remembered a previous life

like he did.

Does he still remember?

He remembers pieces.

Yeah.

He remembers pieces.

As he's gotten older he's
not talking about it as much.

Aiden will mention
here and there stuff.

But then when I try to ask
him, he'll say he forgot,

or, like, it brings up these
kind of emotions in him

that he refuses
to talk about it.

If he wants to have a
conversation about it,

just make it, you know, to where
that he doesn't feel pressure.

I did that with Brennan.

There are times that I think
he finds it kind of awkward.

Yeah.

And so I'll just
say, well, you know,

just tell me what
you want me to know.

You know, we can talk about it
when you want to talk about it.

It's fine.

It's no big deal.

I'm glad that he and
Brennan have met though.

Me too.

I was like falling down
the stairs, and then I died.

You fell down the stairs?

It's sort of the same
thing, falling off

of 40-feet building.

You don't remember much?

Not that much.

Neither do I.

Aiden never told us he
was pushed down the stairs.

It's kind of sad to hear some
things that we haven't heard

before about his past life.

But it's great that he felt so
comfortable right away that he

was able to open up and share
these things with someone else.

Because I never wanted to
go into detail with Aiden

about what happened
because I was afraid

what traumatic events
happened in his life

and what that might bring up.

But having him open up
to another child his age,

and he was more comfortable, I
think that was the most perfect

way for him to be able to
open up and speak more.

I'm glad that you
guys got to meet.

And I'm pretty sure
that you'll be friends

for a really long time.

Can you say thank you to
Brennan for coming and meeting

you?
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh.

Are you happy that
you came to see him?

Yes.

And I want to stay here longer.

You want to stay here longer?

Yes.

I know.

I do too.

But the good thing is you both--

you can talk on the phone.

And you can-- don't get upset.

You can talk on the phone.

You can email each other.

Well, thank you for inviting us.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Oh, give Brennan a hug.

Oh.

He's trying to pick him up.

For me, it's
important that Aiden

feel safe and a lot of love.

If he don't have it
in the past life--

you're going to make me cry--

I want he feel it
now, here in this one.

His future that I see
that he's going to be

a happy boy and happy man.

I just want Aiden to
know that he's loved

and that we believe
him no matter what.

And that we're never
going to hurt him.

And he's going to be happy and
live a good life in this life.

I love my family.

I thanked God for
letting me choose them.
