The UneXplained: Past Lives

One of the images that I will be using/including within my oral presentation is Leslie Kean's images about Ryan Hammon. These two images show the past life that Ryan claims to have (Marty Martyn).  The first image captures the moment that Ryan can decipher/uncover that he (Martyn) and George Raft did a movie together. This lead to the investigation into finding out who he was.  The second image is a side of Ryan Hammons and Marty Martyn. His image is him being a "detective," which he said he played in a film back when he was Martyn.  The first graph I am using comes from Statista. The title is "Share of Americans who believe in the following theories and myths." It shows an interesting contrast between the firm belief in miracles and even "survival of the soul" but the lowest belief in reincarnation.   Works Cited Harris Interactive.

  Research Questions and Citations: Many children can vividly remember and provide descriptions of what they preserve as their “past life.” How much accuracy of one’s past life truly parallels with these cases? Do these cases pose any benefits for children? Are children just highly imaginative? Do psychological factors play a role in their experiences, or could this influence be by surrounding beliefs? Could there be any overlap or patterns between these cases or children?  Works Cited Haraldsson, Erlendur. “Children Who Speak of Past-Life Experiences: Is There a Psychological  Explanation?” Psychology & Psychotherapy: Theory, Research & Practice, vol. 76, no. 1,  Mar. 2003, p. 55.
