BBC Documentary on Remembered Previous Lives


Some children can remember exact & verifiable details of their prior life they never could
have come to know in this their current child life. These details can be objectively and
independently confirmed. Remarkably & quite biologically enigmatic: Some of them have birth
marks and birth defects at very same locations as the lethal injury causing their often abrupt
and violent past life death. Eg. Born with 5 missing fingers after a prior life accident where
they were cut off... Birthmarks at the exact location where they got gunshot wounds in their
prior life, which could be confirmed from the autopsy report of their deceased individuality.
Furthermore: Some can speak a language they never have learnt in this life (xenoglossy)
corresponding to their past life language & nationality. They can in some cases remember names
of siblings and other family members in their past life family who they never have met in this life...
The pioneer in this research was the late Dr. Ian Stevenson:

He founded: The Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the Department of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA.

Summarized in the recent:
Science, the Self, and Survival after Death: Selected Writings of Ian Stevenson
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781442221147 by his colleague, Emily Williams Kelly:
Ian Stevenson was a prominent and internationally-known psychiatrist, researcher, prolific author,
and well-regarded figure in the field of psychical research. Science, the Self, and Survival after Death:
Selected Writings of Ian Stevenson is the first book devoted to surveying the entirety of his work and
the extraordinary scope and variety of his research. He studied universal questions that cut to the core
of a person’s identity: What is consciousness? How did we become the unique individuals that we are?
Do we survive in some form after death? Stevenson’s writings on the nature of science and the mind-body
relationship, as well as his empirical research, demonstrate his strongly held belief that the methods of
science can be applied successfully to such humanly vital questions. Featuring a selection of his papers and
excerpts from his books, this collection presents the larger context of Stevenson’s work and illustrates
the issues and questions that guided him throughout his career. Our esteemed colleague, Emily Williams Kelly,
is the editor of this collection of Dr. Stevenson's writing.
