In parts of Asia, it's believed that by marking a dead relative, the soul will transfer into a new member of the family, shown by a birthmark coinciding with the dead relative's marking. And one day in Myanmar(Burma), a boy was born with a birthmark in the exact same place his grandfather's body had been marked. At 2, he began calling his grandmother by a name only his grandpa did.

Dr. Weiss had a patient who underwent past-life regression therapy. The woman recalled a life as a pioneer, who hid from Native Americans in a secret compartment with her toddler son.

Soon, a new patient with asthma attacks came in, and he and the woman had an instant attraction. All were shocked when he revealed a crescent moon birthmark on his right shoulder.

Taranjit Singh began recounting the horrific story of his "death" at age 6. He remembered his old name, the village he was born in, how old he was when he died, even how much money was in his wallet at the time. Taranjit's family were so disturbed they had to investigate. Sure enough, they found the family of the deceased, all details panned out, and Taranjit even identified family members by name. Although Taranjit could barely write, he was able to perfectly match handwriting with that of the dead boy.

American woman "TE" was raised in Philadelphia by immigrants who spoke a mix of Polish, Yiddish, and Russian. However, during regression therapy, TE claimed to be Jensen Jacoby, a male Swedish peasant. She could answer questions in Swedish, and even passed polygraph and word association tests in Swedish. All family and friends questioned claimed she had no training with the language. She even used over 60 Swedish words in conversation not used by the therapist. Furthermore, her accent was praised as spot-on, even mixed with old Norwegian.

Kevin Christenson died in 1979 from metastatic cancer. It was found after he broke his leg and suffered many ailments, including a tumor which caused his eye to protrude and a lump above his right ear. Eventually, Kevin's mother remarried and had another son, Patrick. He was born with a birthmark in the same spot Kevin's IV entered. He had a lump above his right ear. He even began limping as he learned to walk. Furthermore, he questioned his mother about the "orange and brown house", where she lived with Kevin before divorcing her first husband.

Doreen had a son with a condition eerily similar to that which caused the death of her father. It got worse when her son began telling her that "When I was your daddy, you were bad a lot and I never spanked you!" But her suspicions were confirmed when he brought up her old cat and called him "Boss". Her son was born long after she had the cat, whose name was "Boston". Only her father called him "Boss". The boy insisted he was born the Tuesday Doreen's father died, after being told he could "come back".

Ma Win Tar recounted a past life as a Japanese soldier, claiming "she" was captured by her own villagers and burned alive while tied to a tree. While still young, she preferred her hair short and liked to dress as a boy, which her family forbade. She also refused to eat traditional dishes, and would slap the faces of those she didn't like - a habit invading Japanese practiced on local villagers.
