Megan Betty, her husband Lewis and their four-year-old son Charlie live in Bridgewater, Somerset, UK.
Until the moment Charlie began to actively speak, he was an ordinary child, but the more his vocabulary increased, the more strange things his parents and other people around him began to hear from him.
According to Megan, the boy often used outdated words and expressions and he definitely could not hear them from his grandparents, as he speaks words that were old-fashioned back in their time.
At 2 years old, Charlie began to tell strange stories about his past life. In kindergarten, he said that his father drowned and the teacher even had to call Megan to get an explanation.
“I had to tell them that his father Lewis was okay and he was alive. And it was very unusual for a two-year-old to use the word father rather than dad, which he usually uses,”says the boy's mother.
Then everything was even more frightening. One day during lunch, Megan told Charlie that he must chew food thoroughly, otherwise the food will go down his throat and he will suffocate. To this the boy calmly replied that he was already "dying of suffocation" and that "the mother was very upset about this." When Megan asked him what kind of mother he was talking about, he said that he meant his other mother.
Another oddity with Charlie surfaced when a picnic photo was taken. A bright, even beam fell directly on top of the boy. But according to Megan, at that moment there was no bright sun and no one saw such a beam in reality.

Charlie tells a lot from his other life, but this information is difficult to extract, he begins to speak only if you ask him different questions, as in the case of his mother. At the same time, he very clearly understands that this is not about his current parents.
“We asked him if he was talking about his mom and dad, and he said that 'no, he is talking about his mother and father.' For him, these are completely different people, he never calls us that. " Then we asked if he meant grandparents and again he said no."
Researcher Julie Cockfort, who has a degree in parapsychology and mediumship, admits that it is very difficult to know if this is a real case of reincarnation or something else. But he says that this is a very interesting case.
Parapsychologist Kieran O'Keeffe came to the same mixed conclusion, admitting that Charlie's situation is similar to many famous cases of children recalling their past lives. However, he seeks to emphasize that there may be other, more rational explanations for this strange phenomenon.
