Could a Little Boy Be Proof of Reincarnation?

ABC News

April 15, 2004

Nearly six decades ago, a 21-year-old Navy fighter pilot on a mission over the Pacific was shot down by Japanese artillery. His name might have been forgotten, were it not for 6-year-old James Leininger.

Quite a few people — including those who knew the fighter pilot — think James is the pilot, reincarnated. James' parents, Andrea and Bruce, a highly educated, modern couple, say they are "probably the people least likely to have a scenario like this pop up in their lives." But over time, they have become convinced their little son has had a former life.

From an early age, James would play with nothing else but planes, his parents say. But when he was 2, they said the planes their son loved began to give him regular nightmares. "I'd wake him up and he'd be screaming," Andrea told ABCNEWS' Chris Cuomo. She said when she asked her son what he was dreaming about, he would say, "Airplane crash on fire, little man can't get out."

Reality Check

Andrea says her mom was the first to suggest James was remembering a past life. At first, Andrea says she was doubtful. James was only watching kids' shows, his parents say, and they weren't watching World War II documentaries or conversing about military history. But as time went by, Andrea began to wonder what to believe. In one video of James at age 3, he goes over a plane as if he's doing a preflight check.

Another time, Andrea said, she bought him a toy plane, and pointed out what appeared to be a bomb on its underside. She says James corrected her, and told her it was a drop tank. "I'd never heard of a drop tank," she said. "I didn't know what a drop tank was."

Then James' violent nightmares got worse, occurring three and four times a week. Andrea's mother suggested she look into the work of counselor and therapist Carol Bowman, who believes that the dead sometimes can be reborn.

With guidance from Bowman, they began to encourage James to share his memories — and immediately, Andrea says, the nightmares started become less frequent. James was also becoming more articulate about his apparent past, she said.

Bowman said James was at the age when former lives are most easily recalled. "They haven't had the cultural conditioning, the layering over the experience in this life so the memories can percolate up more easily," she said.

Trail of Mysteries

Over time, James' parents say he revealed extraordinary details about the life of a former fighter pilot — mostly at bedtime, when he was drowsy. They say James told them his plane had been hit by the Japanese and crashed. Andrea says James told his father he flew a Corsair, and then told her, "They used to get flat tires all the time." In fact, historians and pilots agree that the plane's tires took a lot of punishment on landing. But that's a fact that could easily be found in books or on television.

Andrea says James also told his father the name of the boat he took off from — Natoma — and the name of someone he flew with — "Jack Larson." After some research, Bruce discovered both the Natoma and Jack Larson were real. The Natoma Bay was a small aircraft carrier in the Pacific. And Larson is living in Arkansas. "It was like, holy mackerel," Bruce said. "You could have poured my brains out of my ears. I just couldn't believe it.

USS Natoma Bay

James 2 = James M. Huston Jr.?

Bruce became obsessed, searching the Internet, combing through military records and interviewing men who served aboard the Natoma Bay.

He said James told him he had been shot down at Iwo Jima. James had also begun signing his crayon drawings "James 3." Bruce soon learned that the only pilot from the squadron killed at Iwo Jima was James M. Huston Jr.

Bruce says James also told him his plane had sustained a direct hit on the engine. Ralph Clarbour, a rear gunner on a U.S. airplane that flew off the Natoma Bay, says his plane was right next to one flown by James M. Huston Jr. during a raid near Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945. Clarbour said he saw Huston's plane struck by anti-aircraft fire. "I would say he was hit head on, right in the middle of the engine," he said.

Treasured Mementos

Bruce says he now believes his son had a past life in which he was James M. Huston Jr. "He came back because he wasn't finished with something." The Leiningers wrote a letter to Huston's sister, Anne Barron, about their little boy. And now she believes it as well. "The child was so convincing in coming up with all the things that there is no way on the world he could know," she said.

But Professor Paul Kurtz of the State University of New York at Buffalo, who heads an organization that investigates claims of the paranormal, says he thinks the parents are "self-deceived." "They're fascinated by the mysterious and they built up a fairy tale," he said.

James' vivid, alleged recollections are starting to fade as he gets older — but among his prized possessions remain two haunting presents sent to him by Barron: a bust of George Washington and a model of a Corsair aircraft. They were among the personal effects of James Huston sent home after the war.

"He appears to have experienced something that I don't think is unique, but the way it's been revealed is quite astounding," Bruce said. Asked if the idea that James may have been someone else changes his or his wife's feeling about their son, Bruce said: "It doesn't change how we think. I don't look at him and say, 'That's not my boy.' That's my boy."

Answer 2

First of all, not everyoby reincarnates. Those who are here only once have nothing to remember, and that is the majority of people.

Secondly, one can subconsciously remember more if one is an advanced Soul, compared with a less experienced Soul.

The nature gave us nothing redundant. People use only 8% of their brain because they are unable to consciously connect to the universal consciousness.

But, a fully enlightened person is capable to tap into the universal consciousness and can start gaining a full understanding of their previous lifetimes. A divine Soul in incarantion will have a full awareness of all of their previous lifetimes, using 100% of the brain given to a "homo sapiens" by nature.

Answer 3

I believe in reincarnation. I also think that it is very possible to remember things from a past life. I dont think that you could remember things like you remember them from your current life, but like flashes of things. Sometimes people know things that they have never heard of before. Like events at a certain point of history that they had no formal knowledge of. I excell at history and i know that some of the things that i know seem to come from nowhere. I cant explain that except to say that there is a real possibility of reincarnation.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as incarnation. A person has just one life. The body is not only a prison for the soul. The body it's holy, too.

Answer 5

i think it is possible. they have evidence of people recalling things that they could have never known about or have any knowledge of. this seems to happen to young children quite a bit. they talk about events, names, places, time periods that at their age, they could never have information about. some have said it's because of television, or over hearing conversations by the adults around them. perhaps. there was a case where a young boy of the age of four or so, was recalling experiences from the war (WWl or WWll. i'm not sure). he was talking about airplanes and flying them. he didn't use child like terms. he was using terms that only an aviater would know. in his present life he was facsinated with airplanes and anything related to aviation. his parennts didn't see know what to do about his tories except to liaten to him. they thought he was being a normal child who made stories. but he began to experience terrible nightmares. he would say his plane went down, caught fire and he couldn't stop it. that's when the situation wasn't just a cute child-like thing anymore. he sometimes called himself by a name that his parents did not know. it was then they decided to take that name and do some research. it was getting to be too much for the parents and they wanted some closure. they found out that the name their son used was the name of a man who served in the army, fought in the war as a pilot and died in his plane as it fought fire and went down. the parents were shocked. they swore they never spoke about anything of that nature in front of thier son and he only watch kiddie cartoons. so they knew his stories were not from outside influences. they said that once he turned six years old, his memories of the war and his death as a pilot started to disapate but it was an interesting experience for all who were involved. whether it's true or not, i thought it was interesting

Answer 6

No. There are no previous lives. Only one. It's just a cup out so people would think that they can re-do life over and over again. You've got one shot at life, make it count for something!

Answer 7

yes.. i have made a regression to remember some things.. and it's true. Our body dies, our soul lives forever.. and we reborn again, with a new body, but no memory. That "soul memory" is enery, like everything else, that can be organized and bring it to the brain, so you can remember. BUT, don't think that when you die, you will live again, that's is not true. It's just energy, not memory or feelings. Those just die each life you live. So live it well. Each of them.

Answer 8

That's already been proven. Skeptics say however, that these memories are pulled from some other person's mind trough telekenisis or something rather than a past life.

Answer 9

NO! DON'T FALL FOR THIS LIE, THIS PERVERSION OF TRUTH! OUR PATH IN LIFE IS HISTORY, FUTURE & ETERNITY. IF WE REMEMBER SOMETHING FROM OUR PAST, IT COULD VERY WELL MEAN IT HAS CONNECTION WITH OUR FUTURE SINCE TIME IS JUST ONE BIG CIRCLE ONCE YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF IT (IE. FIFTH DIMENSION). REINCARNATION WILL LEAD TO ETERNAL DEATH IF YOU DENY THAT JESUS THE LOVER AND CREATOR OF YOUR SOUL WOULD TURN YOU INTO A TREE. THERE IS NO BASIS FOR IT.

Answer 10

I believe you mean reincarnation. Yes, I believe its true. I have had recurring dreams about a place I've never been. It's the only thing that explains why little babies (who are innocent) are killed & maimed in war.

Answer 11

Doesn't really make much sence I mean that would means that you can live life over and over and then what?
it's just a bunch of Cr@p
