The Twin Towers during the terrorist attack on 9/11, where the daughter of Riss White remembers her death in a previous life.
American Mother Riss White has taken to TikTok to tell of how her daughter seems to remember a previous life where she died in the Twin Towers.
The Little Girl and the Twin Towers
In reply to a TikTok asking for stories about kids recalling past lives, Riss White shared a concerning experience involving her young daughter a few years ago. While watching the tragic events of September 11, 2001, her 4-year-old daughter surprisingly recounted details from her supposed past life.
According to Riss White, her daughter remembered the Twin Towers despite being very young and claimed she used to work at the North Tower. The little girl pointed to one of the towers and casually said, “Hey mom, I used to work there.” When asked when this happened, she replied with 'before'.
Riss continued to explain that her daughter mentioned a day when the floor at her workplace got really hot. To escape, she stood on her desk, and along with her friends, tried to open the door. Unable to do so, she claimed to have jumped out of the window and flew like a bird.
While it's possible that Riss White's daughter somehow learned about these events, it seems unlikely given her age and the specific details she shared. It raises questions about how a young child could come up with such a story without intentionally making it up.
Other Children Who Remember Previous Lives
Kids, usually between 2 and 5 years old, sometimes talk about memories from a past life they say they had. Alongside this, they may have unusual behaviors, like fears or likes, that don't make sense based on their current family and experiences.
Over the past 50 years, researchers at the University of Virginia have gathered 2500 instances suggesting possible reincarnation. Most of these cases were found outside the United States. The Division of Perceptual Studies research staff, during this time, has written many articles and books about these cases.
There have been several cases that stand out as particularly interesting to western observers.
James Leininger and His Memories of World War II
James Leininger is a young boy who gained attention due to his reported past-life memories. Born in 1998, James began sharing details about a previous life when he was around two years old.
James claimed that he was a World War II pilot named James Huston Jr., who died in 1945 at the age of 21. He spoke about flying off a ship called the Natoma and being shot down by the Japanese. His parents, Bruce and Andrea Leininger, were initially surprised by the accuracy and consistency of James's statements about planes, battles, and details of the aircraft carrier Natoma Bay.
Bruce and Andrea Leininger decided to investigate their son's claims and found a correlation with the life of James Huston Jr., a pilot who indeed served in World War II, flew off the USS Natoma Bay, and died in a plane crash over the Pacific. James even accurately identified other individuals he claimed to have known in his past life.
The case gained publicity and was featured in various documentaries and books, such as "Soul Survivor" by Andrea Leininger and Bruce Leininger. While some people find the story compelling evidence of reincarnation, others remain skeptical, citing alternative explanations such as coincidences, suggestibility, or the influence of media on a young child's imagination. The case of James Leininger continues to be a subject of interest and discussion in the study of reincarnation and past-life memories.
Ryan Hammons and His Memories of Hollywood
Ryan Hammons is another individual who gained attention for his reported past-life memories. Born in 2005, Ryan began sharing details about a previous life when he was around four years old.
According to Ryan's accounts, he claimed to have been a Hollywood actor named Marty Martyn who starred in films during the 1930s and 1940s. He described specific details about Marty Martyn's life, including his career, relationships, and even details about the Hollywood studio system.
Ryan's parents, Cyndi and Jason Hammons, were surprised by the detailed and vivid nature of their son's memories. In an effort to understand and validate Ryan's claims, they began researching old Hollywood records and discovered that there was indeed a person named Marty Martyn, a bit-part actor who had worked in the film industry during the specified time frame.
