Could a little boy's memories and natural ability on the baseball field point to a past life as Lou Gehrig?

When your child tells you something you can’t explain, who do you turn to?

For Cathy Byrd, it was her pastor. Raised in the Christian faith, she was trying to understand her son’s descriptions of what seemed like another life. The response left her with more questions than answers.

In Episode 6, Cathy shares how she found people willing to listen, and what it meant to make room for her son’s experiences.

@cobba27 Great question! We’ll be doing a Q&A with Akila and can certainly ask!

[The Telepathy Tapes @TelepathyTapes]

Dr. Akila Weerasekera, the researcher who first brought Esara’s extraordinary story to light, joined us in Episode 5 to tell us about Esara’s incredible story and the investigation that followed.

Beginning at just 18 months old, Esara started describing people, places, and events from a life he seemingly had never lived. His statements would eventually lead to the identification of Thilanga, a 14-year-old boy who had died before Esara was born.

But what makes this case particularly compelling isn't just the memories themselves. It's the opportunity to examine them through documented testimony, corroborating accounts, and a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding both boys' lives.

In Episode 5 of The Telepathy Tapes: Reincarnation Records, we explore Dr. Werasekera's research, the evidence he uncovered, and the questions this remarkable case continues to raise.

🎧 Listen to Episode 5, out now wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find Dr. Werasekera's research paper linked in our bio.

This week on Reincarnation Records, we're exploring children who seem to possess extraordinary talents and abilities they were never taught, alongside memories of lives they claim to have lived before.

From a young boy with an unusual gift for baseball to another who believed he was legendary golfer Bobby Jones, these stories raise fascinating questions about where our abilities come from, and whether some might have origins beyond this lifetime.

We hear directly from their families about what they witnessed, and return to the researchers at UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies, who have spent decades documenting and investigating cases like these.

This Veterans Day, we honor those who have served, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the families who have carried those sacrifices alongside them.

Through the stories we've shared on The Telepathy Tapes, we've had the privilege of exploring the experiences of veterans, from the lasting effects of trauma to the possibilities of healing and finding connection.

Today, we simply want to express our gratitude.

@DICKDAS61067405 Great question! It’s interesting that most come back within 12-24 months. Something unresolved….

[The Telepathy Tapes @TelepathyTapes]

This week's episode is a little different from what you've heard so far on the Reincarnation Records.

We're taking you deep into one extraordinary case, following a story as it unfolded and examining the details that make it so difficult to explain.

Our story takes us to Sri Lanka, where a little boy, Esara, began recalling memories of another life at 18 months old. What started as a series of seemingly impossible childhood memories would eventually lead to an extraordinary discovery, connecting two families hundreds of miles apart.

It's a story that raises some of the biggest questions we've been exploring this season: Where do these memories come from? And what happens when they can be independently verified?

🎧 Episode 5, The Boy Who Remembered Drowning in Sri Lanka, is out now wherever you listen to podcasts.

@JohnMickExplore Hey John, yes absolutely, in many if not most cases! They also conduct tests of recognition with objects and information the child could never have been exposed to previously. It’s fascinating!

[The Telepathy Tapes @TelepathyTapes]

Has your child ever shared memories of a life they seem to have lived before?

The University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies is looking to connect with families of children under 8 who have reported memories of a past life, even if those memories have since faded.

For decades, their researchers have been investigating these extraordinary experiences, and every family that shares their story helps deepen our understanding of this fascinating phenomenon and we'd love to help connect you with the research team.

You can sign up here: https://t.co/nau4c59xty or email [email protected] to share your experiences.

All information shared with the research team is private and confidential.

Join us for an Telepath Tapes Community exclusive Q&A and reading with animal communicator and telepath Ditte Young!

Have you ever looked at your pet and wondered what they're thinking? Or had the feeling they somehow knew exactly what you were feeling? What if there's more to the way we communicate with animals than we realize?

After joining us last season on The Telepathy Tapes, we're excited to have Ditte Young back.

Have questions about animal communication, telepathy, or the extraordinary bonds we share with our pets? This is your chance to ask them directly!

Could the physical body carry evidence that consciousness survives death?

This week on The Reincarnation Records, we investigate one of the most intriguing areas of reincarnation research: birthmarks and birth defects that appear to match injuries sustained by people the children claim to have been in previous lives.

From accounts of violent deaths to medical records and autopsy reports, these cases raise extraordinary questions about the relationship between our bodies, our memories, and consciousness itself.

🎧 Episode 4, Do Birthmarks Carry Evidence of a Past Life? is out now.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Inside the archives at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies.

A few behind-the-scenes moments from our visit, exploring over 2,000 documented cases to seeing drawings, original research materials, and maps tracking reported cases around the world.

This is a rare glimpse into decades of research pioneered by Dr. Ian Stevenson and carried forward today by an incredible team of researchers.

What can cases of people seemingly speaking languages they've never learned tell us about reincarnation?

In Episode 3 of Reincarnation Records, Ky visits the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, where researchers have spent decades documenting and investigating claims of past-life memories.

Xenoglossy is one of the phenomena researchers have examined in connection with these claims. By studying reported cases and investigating possible explanations, including prior exposure and forgotten learning, researchers have sought to understand whether these unusual abilities could offer evidence of a previous life.

From the accounts themselves to the methods used to investigate them, the episode explores what these cases might reveal, and what questions remain unanswered.

🎧 Episode 3, Can Reincarnation Be Investigated? is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

How can you investigate a belief that a child is remembering a past life?

Marieta Pehlivanova Ph.D., describes it almost like a forensic investigation into two people: the child reporting the memories, and the deceased person they may be remembering.

At UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies, researchers examine both lives, looking for connections, corroborating details, and possible explanations for what the child knows.

In this clip, Marieta Pehlivanova explains how cases come to light and how researchers know they can begin to investigate.
