When James Lanninger of Louisiana was 2 years old, he began to see terrible nightmares about the plane crash. The boy said that was shot by the Japanese, that his plane took off from the ship Natoma, and that he had a friend named Jack Larson. He also found out the place where he crashed – Iwo Jima Island – in photos from the Second World War, which his parents showed him.

The story of this boy was told by Dr. Jim Tucker from the University of Virginia, a leading researcher of reincarnation.

The blogger believes that it was a visit to the museum that caused nightmares, and not at all memories from a past life. And the fact that adults supporting the boy may have created the rest of the story. The blogger admits that it’s hard to explain what the boy remembered names, he believes that adults could tell them.
Dr. Tucker said the boy’s father is a Christian who does not believed in reincarnation. Dr. Tucker, researching children’s stories about reincarnations, paid attention to the attitude of parents to children’s stories. And he often found that in children whose parents ignore their stories, however, there are amazing stories, which they could tell.
