Ryan was four years old when he began sharing intimate memories of his past life in Hollywood, which he said ended in death from a heart attack.
Acquaintance with books about Hollywood has provoked new "memories". After seeing the illustration for the 1932 movie Night After Night, Ryan said that he was friends with the man who played the cowboy in the movie, and this actor also starred in a commercial for cigarettes. We are talking about Gordon Nance, who represented the Viceroy brand of cigarettes and played roles in several Westerns.
Ryan also "recognized" himself in the photograph as Marty Martin. He very accurately recalled scenes from films in which Martin took part, and also gave some details from Martin's life, such as the rhythm of his tap-dancing on Broadway, the presence of three younger sisters and the color of the car. Dr. Tucker investigated the case by matching Ryan's memories with those of Martin's family members.

The boy remembers how he was a monk in Sri Lanka

Duminda Bandara Ratnayake from the Central Province of Sri Lanka began talking about his previous monastic life when he was about three years old. In addition, he insisted on observing monastic rituals and rules of conduct.
According to the boy, before he died of chest pain, he was a senior monk at the Asgiriya temple, had a red car, an elephant, which he was very sensitive to, and a radio.
The Venerable Mahanayaka Gunnepana, who died in the Asgiriya temple, fit the boy's description, although there were minor differences. For example, the late monk owned a gramophone instead of a radio, but perhaps the boy simply never saw a gramophone to describe it correctly. Some of these characteristics were not characteristic of the monks in this area of Sri Lanka. This case was analyzed at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik by a retired professor emeritus, Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson.
Lebanese boy gives detailed and truthful information about his past life
Dr. Haraldsson traveled to Lebanon to learn the story of a boy named Nazih Al-Danaf, who told his parents about his previous life almost as soon as he learned to speak.
So he proudly talked about his weapon, and used words and expressions that were extremely unusual for a child of his age, he also showed an inexplicable interest in cigarettes and whiskey, mentioned a dumb one-armed friend, a red car and his death from a gunshot wound.
The details the boy gave matched the description of a man named Fuad Assad Khaddaj, who once lived in a small town twenty kilometers from the current home of Al-Danaf's parents. The boy found his way to this house without any difficulty.
To check, the widow of Fuad Assad Haddaj asked the boy several questions, in particular: "Who laid the foundation of the gate at the entrance to the house?" and Nazikh immediately replied: "A man from the Farazh family," which was absolutely true. He gave correct answers to her other questions as well.
Businessman recalls a lesson from a past life
Gun and ledger
Ruprecht Schulz's laundry in Berlin burned down with the outbreak of World War II. It seemed to remind him of a past life where he already had a bad commercial experience.
The business he had done in a previous life had something to do with the timber trade and shipping. Somewhere in the eighties of the XIX century, finding himself on the verge of financial collapse, on a holiday, he shot himself in the forehead in the port city of Wilhelmshaven.
Dr. Stevenson found information about a man named Helmut Kohler who committed suicide in Wilhelmshaven in 1887 on a Protestant holiday - the Day of Repentance and Prayer. Kohler made the wrong business decision by purchasing large quantities of timber based on erroneous forecasts of an increase in timber tax.
As it turned out later, Kohler's business was not in such a deplorable state, as he had imagined, having conceived to commit suicide. This served as a good lesson for Ruprecht Schultz, who, despite heavy financial losses, remained optimistic and hoped for a change for the better.

A little boy named Lee insisted that his middle name was pronounced Coe and that his birthday was on June 26th, although neither was true. In addition, he talked about how he lived in Hollywood, had a daughter named Jennifer and wrote scripts for films. When his sister asked Lee how old he was when he died, he named the number 48.
Little Lee's family listed the titles of the films, each time asking him if he had written a script for them, and he nodded in agreement at the mention of "Gone With the Wind."
Sydney Cohn Howard wrote the screenplay for Gone With the Wind. Howard had a daughter named Jennifer, and he himself died at the age of 48. This case was investigated by Dr. Tucker.
