Lionel Ennuyer Dies a in a Motorcycle Accident

IISISReincarnationResearchMotorCycleCrashLionel Ennuyer was born on August 22, 1953 in a suburb of Paris, France. Lionel’s mother was Yvonne Ennuyer and his sister was named Vivian. Lionel was a fun-loving boy who was very friendly, social and generous. He was so generous that he had few possessions, as he gave his things to others. He loved sports and participated in skating, skiing, tennis, swimming, shooting and cycling. His nick name was Yoyo.

As a young man, Lionel bought a motorcycle. On December, 23 1973, when he was 20 years of age, he went for motorcycle ride with friends following him in a car. He lost control of his bike and crashed into a roadside bench, striking his head and dying on the scene.

His mother, Yvonne, suspected that Lionel’s friends in the automobile had something to do with the crash, perhaps following Lionel too closely and causing the accident. None of his friends in the car, though, would admit to this.

Reincarnation, Soul Planning and Gender Change: Lionel Reincarnates as His Sister’s Daughter & Remembers the Motorcycle Crash

IISISYoungParisienneonscooterNadege was born on December 30, 1974, almost exactly one year after Lionel had died. Nadege’s parents were Patrick and Vivian Jegou; Vivian was Lionel’s sister. Nadege was given the nickname Nana by her parents.

As child, Nadege spontaneously started to speak of Lionel’s motorcycle accident as if it happened to her. She said that her friend, who was driving the automobile behind her, struck the rear of her motorcycle, which made her lose control and crash into a bench. Nadege would recount the events of the crash repetitively and she seemed to be reliving the event.

When Nadege was 3 years old, Yvonne, her grandmother and the mother of Lionel and Vivian, showed Nadege a picture of Lionel. Yvonne said that the picture was of Yoyo, which was Lionel’s pet name. Nadege disagreed and insisted that it was a picture of her. Nadege used her own pet name, Nana, stating:

“No, it is Nana.” (1)

When she was shown a picture of Lionel on another occasion, Nadege similarly insisted that it was really a picture of her.

Nadege Remembers Past Life Carambars, Licorice Rolls and Colors of Lionel’s Shirt

When Nadege was 4 years old, she had another spontaneous memory of her life as Lionel. Unexpectedly, Nadege said to Yvonne, her grandmother:

“When I was Lionel I used to buy carambars.” (2)

IISISReincarnationEvidenceLiquoriceWheelsNadege then realized that she didn’t know what carambars were. She then asked Yvonne,

“What are carambars?” (3)

Yvonne explained that the word referred to a caramel candy. Lionel was very fond of carembars, but Yvonne had never bought any for Nadege. After that explanation, Nadege said:

“I also used to buy some black things with white candy inside for my mama.” (4)

Yvonne confirmed that this statement was true. Yvonne loved licorice rolls, which were black tubes with white candy inside. Lionel did indeed by these licorice rolls for her.

When Nadege was 5 years old, Yvonne showed her a black and white photo of Lionel as an infant. Nadege looked at the picture and said:

“You know, when I was Yoyo, I wore this white blouse with blue embroidery.” (5)

Since it was a black and white photo, the color of the embroidery was not evident, yet Nadege was correct about the color of the embroidery being blue. This piece of clothing had long disappeared and Yvonne was sure that she never discussed the shirt or its colors with Nadege.

A Tortoise Face and Other Behaviors from a Past Lifetime

There were other events in Lionel’s life that Nadege remembered, which she insisted happened to her, not Lionel. She also demonstrated behaviors that were typical of Lionel.

IISISReincarnationResearchTortoiseLionel liked to make a certain funny face, in which he would push his lower lip far forward. He called this is “tortoise face.” When she was two years old, Nadege made this exact same face, though no one had told her about Lionel’s tortoise face, nor had Nadege ever seen a photo of the Lionel making the face. Lionel and Nadege made the face often.

When Lionel signed letters, he always drew a pipe with smoke curling out of it. When Yvonne once showed Nadege a sample of this pipe drawing, she adopted the habit herself, drawing the pipe in the same way next to her signature.

Like Lionel, Nadege was a very generous person and she gave her things away to others, just as Lionel had done. She also loved sports, like Lionel, especially skating, swimming and diving. At the age of 3 ½, Nadege fearlessly would dive into a pool from a height of 10 feet or 3 meters, as if she had done so before.

Reincarnation & Physical Resemblance or Similar Appearance

Yvonne, Lionel’s mother and Nadege’s grandmother, thought that there was a similarity in appearance between Lionel and Nadege, in that they both had the same asymmetry of the eyes. Unfortunately, photographs are not available to us for review.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

The strength of this case rests upon the uncanny memories that Nadege had of events in Lionel’s life, starting with her spontaneous memory of the motorcycle accident that ended his life. She also spontaneously remembered the carambar candy that Lionel loved and the color of the embroidery of Lionel’s shirt, which he wore when he was young. If this reincarnation case is accepted, it has the following features:

Soul Planning: Same Family Reincarnation: Nadege was born to Lionel’s sister, Vivian. As such, it appears that Lionel planned his reincarnation to be reunited with his family, including his past life mother, Yvonne, who became his contemporary grandmother.

Reincarnation & Change of Gender: Lionel reincarnated as a Nadege, a female. Despite the change in gender, Lionel and Nadege demonstrated common behaviors, such as generosity and a love of sports.

Physical Resemblance: Yvonne, the mother of Lionel and the grandmother of Nadege, perceived a similarity of appearance between Lionel and Nadege regarding the asymmetry of their eyes. Of course, since this is a same family reincarnation case, the similarity in appearance may have been due to genetic factors.

Soul Plan, Spirit Being & Gender Change in Same Family Reincarnation: Past Life Story of Jaako Vuorenlehto | Taru Jarvi

A reincarnation research case that gives proof that a soul can plan future life from the spirit world. The reincarnation of Jaako Vuorenlehto a male as a female Taru Jarvi and she has perfect recall of past life.

How Derived: Memories in Childhood

Soul Plan: As Children, Jaako & Iris Know They Will Be Married in the Future

IISISReincarnationResearchChildWeddingJaako Vuorenlehto was born on November 15, 1929 in Helsinki, Finland, to a Lutheran Christian family. His nick name was Jaska. As a child, Jaako seemed to have a destined relationship with a girl named Iris Sundstrum, who was born in 1935. As such, Iris was 6 years younger than Jaako. When they were children, the two only saw each other from a distance. They did not develop a romance until 1970, when Jaako was 40 years old.

Still, when Jaako was 18 years of age, Jaako told a friend, referring to Iris: “One day I will marry that girl.” (1)

At the same time, Iris, at 12 years of age, said to a friend, referring to the house that Jaako lived in: “One day I will live in that house.” (2)

As Jaako and Iris both had premonitions that they would be married in the future, these feelings indicate that they knew of a life destiny or plan. Several other reincarnation cases demonstrate that we do indeed plan future lifetimes from the spirit world.

Iris, though, initially married another man, with whom she had 3 children. Later in life, Jaako and Iris met, developed a friendship and fell in love. Iris subsequently divorced her first husband and in 1970, when Jaako was 40 and Iris was 34, they married. They enjoyed a very happy relationship.

Reincarnation, Gender Change & Jaako’s Feminine Side

Jaako had an unusual personality in that he enjoyed hobbies typically enjoyed by women. Though he liked male activities such as playing ice hockey, hunting and driving cars, he also enjoyed playing with dolls. Jaako liked to crochet, sew tablecloths and he was attracted to women’s clothing, which he would purchase for Iris.

Though Jaako was tall and thin, Iris noted that he tended to move in a feminine way. Despite these mannerisms and though he believed in reincarnation, Jaako never expressed a desire to be a woman.

Ian Stevenson noted that in 90 percent of his validated children’s reincarnation cases, gender stays the same from one lifetime to another, which infers that a particular soul has a preferred gender. As we see, Jaako will reincarnate as a woman and it may be that his feminine traits reflect his soul’s preference for female incarnations. It may also be that Jaako is soul who prefers to incarnate as male and female in an alternating fashion, thus experiencing the qualities of both sexes.

Jaako’s is Run Over by a Bus and is Killed

IISIS ReincarnationEvidenceYellowBusFrontViewOn September 13, 1973, when Jaako was 43 years old and only 3 years after marrying Iris, he was accidentally run over by a bus, just after he had exited the vehicle. A rear tire of the bus ran over his chest, neck and then his head. A physician examined Jaako just after the accident and declared him dead at the scene.

Soul Plan: From the Spirit Realm, Jaako as a Spirit Being Predicts his Reincarnation & Telepathically Informs Iris He will be Reborn as her Daughter

Just over a year after Jaako’s death, Iris became remarried to a man named Heikki Jarvi, her third husband. A year later, in September 1975, Iris visited Jaako’s grave and received a telepathic message from him.

Iris heard Jaako’s voice, who told her that he would be reborn to her as a daughter on May 27. Iris was 40 years old at the time. She was not pregnant at the time and she did not expect to get pregnant.

Nonetheless, Iris did become pregnant and gave birth to a girl on May 27, 1976, just as Jaako had predicted. The baby girl was named Taru, who was born less than 3 years after Jaako’s death.

Past Life Memory: Taru Tells her Parents her Name is Jaska

When Taru was only 1 year old, she told her parents that she had been run over by a bus. When she was 1 and a half years old, she told her parents: “I am not Taru; my name is Jaska.” (3) Recall that Jaska was Jaako’s nickname.

This incident is reminiscent of the Francesco Foscari | Wayne Peterson reincarnation case, as Wayne as a child also rejected his given name and insisted on being called “Francesco Foscari.”

When Taru was 3 and a half years old, she told her mother, Iris: “You are not my mother. I was left under a car and died. Don’t you know?” (4)

This is reminiscent of the reincarnation case of Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen, as Barbro also told her parents that they were not her real parents, and that her real parents would come get her and take her to her real home.

Reincarnation, Gender Change & Past Life Memories: Taru Recalls being a Man Killed by a Bus

Taru was then asked additional questions, such as whether she was a boy or girl when she died and what kind of vehicle killed her.

Taru replied: “Of course a boy, a big boy.” Regarding the vehicle, she said, “It was big. First died the stomach, then the head.” “I was taken to the hospital, but I was already dead by that time.” (5)

Tara repeatedly would say: “I was a big man.” (6) When she found a large toy car that had belonged to Jaako, she said that it was hers. She claimed that she had played with this toy car many times in the past.

Taru liked to keep a photo of Jaako by her bed, though she did not state specifically that it was a picture of her. Taru did say, though: “You do not have to be afraid of dying because I have died many times.” (7) She stated that in prior incarnation in Germany, she had a mother named Senya.

Reincarnation & Gender Change: Taru Asks for a Gun, Hockey Stick & Insists She is a Boy

As a child, Taru demonstrated a preference for play that is typical for boys. She played with toy soldiers and while doing so, she would wear a helmet and carry a toy gun. She asked her parents to buy her a real gun and a hockey stick, and she would pretend to drive a car. Recall that Jaako enjoyed hunting, playing hockey and driving cars.

Taru had a strong preference for boy’s clothing, in contrast to her step-sisters, who only liked feminine clothes. In playing with other children, she would never take the role of a girl, rather, she would insist, “I am a boy.” (8)

As an adult, Taru continued to demonstrate masculine dress by always wearing pants and never wearing make up.

Reincarnation & Gender Identity Issues in Two Lifetimes

Taru’s identification with the male gender appears to reflect her prior incarnation as Jaako, who conversely demonstrated feminine traits. This case shows how reincarnation can explain gender identity problems.

Taru’s Jealous Attitude towards her Father

Taru had a marked resentment against Heikki, her father, much like an ex-husband would resent a former wife’s new husband. Once she told Iris, referring to Heikki:

“He can go away and we can live together without him.” (9)

Taru told Heikki directly: “We do not need you. You should go away.” “You are only a visitor here.” (10)

In other words, it appears that Jaako, in the form of Taru, wanted to get rid of Heikki so that Iris could be reclaimed as a wife. Taru’s negative attitude towards Heikki and her possessive manner towards Iris eventually caused Heikki and Iris to live separately for periods of time.

A Past Life Phobia of Buses and of the Date that Jaako Died

IISISReincarnationResearchBusSnowWhen Taru was a year old, she developed a severe fear of buses, tractors and large autos. She would ask Iris to pick her up when a bus approached. In contrast, she was not afraid of small cars. This phobia of buses and large vehicles persisted until she was 19 years old.
Taru also had a superstitious fear of the thirteenth day of the month, which was the day that Jaako was run over by a bus.

Reincarnation & Physical Resemblance

Iris and Jaako’s mother (Taru’s grandmother) both noted a close resemblance in facial features and pigmentation between Jaako and Taru. In addition, Taru grew up to be tall and clumsy, just as Jaako had been. Taru grew to be taller than Heikki, her father.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

This very compelling reincarnation case, if accepted, demonstrates the following features:

Physical Resemblance: Iris and Jaako’s mother both noted a prominent facial resemblance between Jaako and Taru, who also had the common features of being tall and clumsy. Since Jaako reincarnated as the daughter of his surviving wife, Iris, and her new husband, Heikki Jarvi, there is no genetic link between Jaako and Taru. This is a same family reincarnation case based on marriage, not a common genetic line.

As such, this is an impressive case which demonstrates physical resemblance from one incarnation to another.

Soul Plan & Spirit Being Involvement in Reincarnation Case: After Jaako’s death, Iris received a telepathic message from him, while she was visiting his grave. Iris heard Jaako’s voice, who told her that he would be reborn to her as a daughter on May 27. Jaako’s prediction came true with Taru’s birth. As such, Jaako was clearly planning his next incarnation while in the spirit world.

In another indication of how lifetimes are planned before we are born, Jaako and Iris both had premonitions, as teenagers, that they would be married in the future. Jaako, at age 18, made the statement that he would marry Iris. Jaako and Iris did marry 22 years later, when Jaako was 40 years old. Prior to their marriage, Iris had married another man, with whom she had 3 children.

The delay in their premonitions coming true suggests that their marriage was not a self-fulfilling prophecy, rather, it appears that they were both aware of a destined relationship. As such, they likely had known each other before, in prior lifetimes.

Reincarnation cases such as this show that we do indeed make plans for our upcoming lifetimes from the spirit world. These plans become our destiny and love a first sight, or premonitions of marriage, are manifestations of our future life plans coming to fruition.

Please note that all same family reincarnation cases involve planning by the soul.

Same Family Reincarnation Case: Jaako reincarnated as his wife’s daughter, Taru. In other words, a spouse in one lifetime became a daughter in another.

Gender Change: Jaako, a male, reincarnated as a Taru, a female. Of interest, in the two lifetimes, traits typical of both genders were demonstrated. Jaako demonstrated feminine hobbies, such as playing with dolls, sewing and a fondness for women’s clothes. On the other hand, Taru behaved like a boy in playing with soldiers, helmets and guns. While Jaako liked women’s clothes, Taru dressed like a man.

Gender confusion based on past life experiences may be the basis of gender disorders, such as transsexualism.

Soul Plan, Spirit Being, Past Life Behavior & Same Family Reincarnation in the Past Life Story of Pertti Haikio | Samuel Helander

A child is born again into the same family and perfectly remembers his Past Life and exhibits Past Life Phobias. A research case on child reincarnation implying Past Life Behavior and Soul that Plans abetted by cautionary from Spirit Beings by Dr, Ian Stevenson, Md.

The Multiple Injuries & Accidents of Pertti Haikio

IISIS reincarnation evidence belgian shepherdPertti Haikio was born on June 3, 1957, in Helsinki Finland. His father had a confusingly similar first name, Pentii, and his mother’s name was Anneli. He had a sister named Marja. He had a number of injuries in childhood which, we shall see, led to memories or phobias in his next incarnation. They are as follows:

Age 3: Pertti slipped out of Anneli’s arms into a bathtub full of water. Pertti almost drowned.

Age 4: While standing next to a construction site, Pertti was struck by a heavy object from the construction site which injured both legs. He was hospitalized for 5 months and had to wear casts on both legs for several months.

Age 5: A dog severely bit Pertti.

IISISReincarnationResearchFallingThroughIceAge 15: Pertti fell off a wharf in Helsinki and landed on ice, which broke. He almost drowned in the icy water, but was able to take off his shoes and clothes and pull himself out. He went home in his underwear. After this incident, Pertti had a fear of being immersed in water.

Perrti is Affectionate & Plays the Guitar

Despite these traumas, Pertti grew up to be a normal and very affectionate person. He acquired a guitar, which he loved to play, and he displayed musical talent.

In 1969, his mother, Anneli, and his father, Pennti, divorced. Anneli later remarried to a man named Reiner.

A Spirit Being & Spiritual Communication of Perrti’s Sudden Death

At the age of 18, in 1975, Pertti unexpectedly died. On the day of his death, his mother, Anneli, who was on a cruise at the time, had a premonition that someone in the family had passed away. Anneli was lying down in her cabin bunk when she suddenly saw her deceased father, who stood silently, then nodded. Anneli told her husband that this meant that someone in the family had passed into the spirit world. It was Pertti who had left the physical world for the spirit world.

A Spirit Being & Soul Plan: Marja has an Announcing Dream and an Abortion is Prevented

Marja, Pertii’s, sister was married to a man with the same first name as their father, Pentti. Her husband’s full name was Pentii Helander. The couple belonged to the Lutheran church.

One or two months after Pertti had died, he appeared in a dream to his sister, Marja. Marja had become pregnant and she was thinking about having an abortion. That is when Pentii appeared to her in a dream and said:

“Keep that child.” (1)

As a result of this dream, Marja allowed the pregnancy to continue. She had a boy, who they named Samuel Helander.

Past Life Memory: Samuel Recognizes Himself as Pertti with Leg Casts

IISIS Reincarnation Evidence Stretch CastSamuel began to speak around the age of one. When he was 1 and a half, someone asked him what his name was. Samuel replied:

“Peltti.” (2) Marja noted that Samuel could not pronounce “r’s,” so she thought he was trying to say “Pertti.”

Samuel told Marja that she was not his mother. Rather, he used “mother” to refer to Anneli, his grandmother and mother of Pertti.

At the age of 2, Samuel saw a photo of Pertii when he was hospitalized for his leg injuries. Samuel said: “This is me when my legs were ill.” (3) Later, Samuel said that both his legs were in plaster, which did occur in the life of Pertii.

Continuing this pattern, up to the age of 10, whenever Samuel would be shown photos of Pertii, he would say: “That’s me.” (4)

Samuel Remembers a Past Life Dog Bite

Another time when looking through photos, Samuel said: “I remember when the dog bit my leg.” (5) He brought up this subject several times, noting how painful it was when he was bitten, even though Samuel, in his contemporary lifetime, was never bitten by a dog. It was Pertti who was severely bitten by a dog when he was about 5 years old.

Samuel Visits his Past Life Grave & Says that it is His

When Anneli took Samuel to the cemetery where Pertti was buried, when gazing at Pertti’s grave, Samuel repeatedly said, “That is my grave.” (6) When Marja was taking him to the same cemetery, Samuel reiterated, “Now we are going to my grave.” (7)

Key Past Life Memory: Samuel Remembers a Party from a Past Incarnation

IISIS Evidence Reincarnation Colorful Party HatIn the memories that are described above, a skeptic would propose that in seeing photos of Pertti, Samuel, for some reason, simply identified with Pertti. The following memory represents a very important one, as it is extremely unlikely that Samuel could have known about the following incident through normal means.

When he was about 3 years old, Samuel told his parents about a time when he and his father went to a house near a kiosk. He said that they wore different colored hats and that they had brought a guitar. Samuel said that this house near the kiosk caught on fire and they had to go home.

This did not correspond with any events in the life of Samuel, but Marja remembered that Samuel’s description matched an event in Pertti’s life. In 1975, about a year before Pertti had died, a friend had put on a party at a house near a railroad kiosk. Samuel and his father went to the party, but a fire broke out in the attic of this house and the party goers had to disperse.

No one had told Samuel, whose age at this time was only 3, of this obscure incident in Pertti Haikio’s life. Of all of Samuel’s statements, this is the most convincing as being a past life memory, a memory from his lifetime as Pertti Haikio.

Samuel Identifies his Past Life Father

One day, Samuel saw a photo of Pennti and Anneli Haikio, the parents of Pertti Haikio. Recall that Anneli was also Marja’s mother and thus Samuel’s grandmother. Photos of Pennti and Anneli were rarely shown in the household, as Anneli’s second husband, Reiner, was a jealous type and he didn’t like pictures of Pennti, his wife’s first husband, on display.

When looking at a picture of Pennti Haikio, Samuel said, “This is my father.” (8) Pennti, of course, was the father of Pertii, not Samuel.

On another occasion, when looking at a photo of Pennti Haikio and Anneli, Samuel said, “There is Daddy and Grandma too.” (9) Again, Pennti Haikio was Perrtii’s daddy, not Samuel’s. Anneli was Pertii’s mother and Samuel’s grandmother.

Samuel Finds his Past Life Guitar, Corduroy Jacket and Watch

IISIS Reincarnation Research Bus GuitarRecall that Perrti Haikio was fond of playing the guitar. After he died, his guitar was placed in a box and put in a closet. No one in the family had told Samuel about this guitar. None the less, Ian Stevenson writes, regarding Samuel and the guitar:

“He looked for it, found it, and said that it was his.” (10)

After Pertti Haikio had died, all his clothes were disposed of except for a corduroy jacket, which was kept in a closet. One day, Marja, his mother, and Anneli, his grandmother and Perrti’s mother, brought it out and were discussing what to do with it. One of them suggested that it should be given away.

Samuel, who was only 3 years at this time, became agitated and shouted at his mother and grandmother, stating that the corduroy jacket was his and that it should not be given away.

Pertti had a watch that was broken and that was without hands. After he died Anneli put it in a drawer filled with other discarded items. Anneli once opened this drawer in Pertti’s presence. He saw the broken watch and claimed it, saying it was his. Samuel subsequently kept the watch either under his pillow or in a drawer under his bed, apparently so that no one could ever take if from him again.

Samuel’s Past Life Phobia of Water

IISISReincarnationResearchFrozenPondSamuel had a great fear of being bathed, to that point that is mother, Marja, described him as being “panic stricken” when being bathed. Samuel even feared showers. Samuel’s fear of water persisted until he was at least until he was 23 years of age. Even as an adult, Samuel would not go swimming due to his phobia.

Recall that when Pertti was 3 years old, he slipped out of Anneli’s arms into a bathtub full of water and almost drowned. At age 15, Pertti fell off a wharf in Helsinki and landed on ice, which broke. He also almost drowned in the icy water.

Samuel’s fear of water appears to be related to Pertti’s experiences of almost drowning, once when he fell into a bathtub when he was 3 years old and again at the age of 15, when he fell into icy water.

Past Life Behavior: Samuel Replicates Pertti’s Ritual of Kissing Each Family Member at Christmas

Pertti was a very affectionate person and he created a tradition at Christmas where he would go around the room, hold each family member arm and kiss them on the cheek.

At the age of 2 1/2, Samuel spontaneously demonstrated the same behavior at Christmas, taking each family member by the arm and kissing them on the cheek.

Reincarnation & Physical Resemblance: Pertti and Samuel have the Same Appearance & Postures

Marja, Pertti’s sister and Samuel’s mother, noted that Pertti and Samuel had the same smile and that they had the same physique. Pertti had the tendency of standing with one foot in front of the other with his hand on his hip. Samuel had the same habitual posture. Both Pertti and Samuel had a habit of walking with their hands behind their backs. Marja did not have these physical habits.

Marja Believes Samuel is the Reincarnation of Pertti

Based on her experiences and observations, Marja came to believe that her son Samuel is her deceased brother, Pertti reborn.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Same Family Reincarnation: Pertti reincarnated as the son of his sister, Marja, to rejoin his family. All same family reincarnation cases involve planning by the soul from the spirit world of a coming incarnation.

Spirit Being & Soul Plan: Pertii, from the spirit world, provided Marja with an announcing dream, advising her not to have an abortion. Pertti did so as he was planning to reincarnate as Marja’s child, who would be named Samuel.

Another example of a spirit being in this case involves Anneli, Pertti’s mother, who was on a cruise when she suddenly saw her deceased father, who stood silently, then nodded. Anneli told her husband that this meant that someone in the family had passed into the spirit world. It was Pertti who had left the physical world for the spirit world.

Phobia from a Past Lifetime: Samuel had a phobia of bathing and swimming, which appear to have resulted in Pertii having near drowned in a bathtub when he was three and when he fell into icy water when he was 15 years old.

Physical Resemblance: Marja, Pertti’s sister and Samuel’s mother, noted that Pertti and Samuel had the same smile, the same physique and the tendency of standing with one foot in front of the other with his hand on his hip, as well as walking with their hands behind their backs. Since this is a same family reincarnation case, physical resemblances may be due to genetic factors.

Past Life Story with Physical Resemblance, Phobia & Geographic Memory: Reincarnation Case of Margaret Kempthorne | Gladys Deacon

A personal account of her experience and the details of a personal interview by Dr. Ian Stevenson were the bases for this child reincarnation story case. Gladys Deacon the person who experienced the child reincarnation detailed her memories of her past life and corroborated it with evidences she has collected. in a story she wrote herself.

How Derived: Geographic Past Life Memory

Researcher: Ian Stevenson, MD

From: European Cases of the Reincarnation Type, by Ian Stevenson, MD

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

The subject of this case, Gladys Deacon, wrote an account of her story that was published in a London newspaper, the Sunday Express, on June 2, 1935. In addition, Ian Stevenson, MD, interviewed her in 1963. As such, we have two sources of information regarding this very interesting case.

Past Life Phobia: Gladys Loves the Name Margaret & has a Phobia of Falling Down

Gladys Deacon was born on January 25, 1900 in Leicestershire, England. Her father was a carpenter and her parents were Roman Catholic. Gladys had a sister and a brother.

IISIS Site of ReincarnationWhen she was 11 years old, Gladys and her brother were taken on a trip by their mother from Northamptonshire, where they were living, to Dorset. They were going to visit relatives over Christmas. Gladys describes a scene that occurred during their journey:

“After leaving Yeovil our train stopped for some time, and to my surprise I found the country quite familiar to me, especially a hilly field opposite.

I said to my brother, ‘When I was quite a little girl I lived in a house near here. I remember running down a hill in that field with two grown-ups holding my hands and we all fell down and I hurt my leg badly.’

Here my mother broke in to scold me for telling deliberate untruths. I had never been that way before and certainly never lived there. I insisted that I had, and that when I ran down the hill I was wearing a white frock down to my ankles with little green leaves on it, and the persons holding my hands were wearing blue-and-white checked frocks.

I said, ‘My name was Margaret then.’” (1)

Validation of Gladys’s Past Life Memory of Falling

iisisreincarnationpastlifeevidencecarThe source of Gladys’s memories of an apparent past lifetime remained a mystery for the next 17 years. Then, during another trip to Dorset in 1928, when Gladys was 28 years old, she unexpectedly received confirmation of her past life memories. Let us again let Gladys narrate the turn of events:

“I was motoring in 1928 with my then employer through Dorset. While having a tire changed, we went to a cottage not far from Poole where a young woman got us tea.

Spirit Being Guidance: Gladys Sees Herself in an Old Portrait & Receives Validation of her Past Life Memory

While waiting for it, I saw an old portrait on glass, and to my amazement I saw it was myself as I was then, running down that hill, a child of five with a plain, serious face, in a long white dress sprigged with green.

I exclaimed, ‘Why that is me.’ And of course both my employer and the woman laughed. The woman said, ‘Well, that child died years ago, but I guess you were just like her when you were small,’ and my employer agreed.

IISISReincarnationPastLifeEvidencePortriatSeeing I was interested, the woman called her mother to tell me the story of the child.

She said the child was Margaret Kempthorne, the only child of a farmer. The mother of the story-teller at that time was employed at the farm as a dairymaid.

When Margaret was about five she was running down a hill with this dairymaid and another, when one of the grown-ups caught her foot in a rabbit-hole and they all fell, with the child undermost.

Her leg was badly broken. She never recovered and died two months after…’” (2)

Past Life Memory: Location of Margaret’s Past Lifetime, in Yeovil, is Confirmed

Gladys inquired where the farm, where Margaret fell, was located. The old lady replied that she didn’t know the exact location of the farm, but that it was near the market town, Yeovil, where their milk and farm products were sold.

Gladys asked when this happened. The old lady responded by taking the portrait down and handing it to Gladys, who looked at the back of the portrait where a piece of paper with writing was found glued to the portrait. Gladys narrates:

“I read there, ‘Margaret Kempthorne, born January 25, 1830, died October 11, 1835” (3)

Recall that Gladys was also born on January 25, in the year 1900. Given these dates, Gladys was born 65 years after Margaret had died.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Geographic Past life Memory: Gladys’s past life memories were stimulated by traveling through the physical location of her past incarnation in the area around Yeovil, England.

Physical Resemblance: Gladys, her employer and the young woman in Dorset, where the painting of Margaret Kempthorne was found, all agreed that there was a strong physical resemblance between Margaret and Gladys.

Phobia from a Past Lifetime: Margaret died from a fall which resulted in a broken leg, which led to her death. Gladys, as a young girl, had a phobia of falling down.

Spirit Beings: This case was validated by Gladys fortuitously finding the house where a witness to the life of Margaret Kempthorne lived. There, a painting of Margaret was hanging on the wall, which Gladys recognized as herself in a prior incarnation. In this portrait, Margaret was wearing the same frock that Gladys saw in her past life memories, a white frock with green decorations.

The witness to the life of Margaret, described as an “old lady” by Gladys, was the mother of the owner of the house. This old lady’s mother, the grandmother of the owner of the house, was one of the very people that Margaret was with when she was running down the hill and fell, breaking her leg, which led to her death.

What are the odds of finding this house by chance? Gladys found this house because the car she was traveling in with her employer had a flat tire, which required repair.

It is proposed that the flat tire occurred at that very spot because spirit beings caused that incident to happen, which allowed Gladys to validate her past life memories. This type of proposed spirit being intervention was also observed in the cases of Carroll Beckwith | Robert Snow and John B. Gordon | Jeff Keene.

Planning of Future Incarnations: In reviewing this reincarnation case, we observe a common date of birth. Margaret Kempthorne was born on January 25, 1830 and Gladys Deacon was born on January 25, 1900. Though the common date of birth of January 25 could be simply a coincidence, it could also represent Margaret, from the spirit world, planning her birth on that date to draw a tie from her past incarnation to her future one.

There are cases in which the date of an individual’s reincarnation has been predicted from the spirit world. In the reincarnation case of Felix Fresnel | Cristophe Albert, Felix, from the spirit world, predicted the date, place and family of his coming incarnation. In the reincarnation case of Jaako Vuorenlehto | Taru Javi, Jaako, from the spirit world, predicted the date of his reincarnation.

Change of Religion: Gladys was born into a Roman Catholic family and her mother was quite surprised when Gladys, at 11 years of age, started to describe incidents from a past lifetime. In this case, a Roman Catholic girl became a convert to a belief in reincarnation.
