The Telepathy Tapes

Dr. Akila Weerasekera, the researcher who first brought Esara’s extraordinary story to light, joined us in Episode 5 to tell us about Esara’s incredible story and the investigation that followed. Beginning at just 18 months old, Esara started describing people, places, and events from a life he seemingly had never lived. His statements would eventually lead to the identification of Thilanga, a 14-year-old boy who had died before Esara was born. But what makes this case particularly compelling isn't just the memories themselves. It's the opportunity to examine them through documented testimony, corroborating accounts, and a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding both boys' lives. In Episode 5 of The Telepathy Tapes: Reincarnation Records, we explore Dr. Werasekera's research, the evidence he uncovered, and the questions this remarkable case continues to raise. 🎧 Listen to Episode 5, out now wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find Dr. Werasekera's research paper linked in our bio.

This week's episode is a little different from what you've heard so far on the Reincarnation Records. We're taking you deep into one extraordinary case, following a story as it unfolded and examining the details that make it so difficult to explain. Our story takes us to Sri Lanka, where a little boy, Esara, began recalling memories of another life at 18 months old. What started as a series of seemingly impossible childhood memories would eventually lead to an extraordinary discovery, connecting two families hundreds of miles apart. It's a story that raises some of the biggest questions we've been exploring this season: Where do these memories come from? And what happens when they can be independently verified? 🎧 Episode 5, The Boy Who Remembered Drowning in Sri Lanka, is out now wherever you listen to podcasts.

Has your child ever shared memories of a life they seem to have lived before? The University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies is looking to connect with families of children under 8 who have reported memories of a past life, even if those memories have since faded. For decades, their researchers have been investigating these extraordinary experiences, and every family that shares their story helps deepen our understanding of this fascinating phenomenon and we'd love to help connect you with the research team.

November 5th - 9AM PST/12PM EST Join us for an Telepath Tapes Community exclusive Q&A and reading with animal communicator and telepath Ditte Young! Have you ever looked at your pet and wondered what they're thinking? Or had the feeling they somehow knew exactly what you were feeling? What if there's more to the way we communicate with animals than we realize? After joining us last season on The Telepathy Tapes, we're excited to have Ditte Young back. Have questions about animal communication, telepathy, or the extraordinary bonds we share with our pets? This is your chance to ask them directly!

Could the physical body carry evidence that consciousness survives death? This week on The Reincarnation Records, we investigate one of the most intriguing areas of reincarnation research: birthmarks and birth defects that appear to match injuries sustained by people the children claim to have been in previous lives. From accounts of violent deaths to medical records and autopsy reports, these cases raise extraordinary questions about the relationship between our bodies, our memories, and consciousness itself. 🎧 Episode 4, Do Birthmarks Carry Evidence of a Past Life? is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Inside the archives at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies. A few behind-the-scenes moments from our visit, exploring over 2,000 documented cases to seeing drawings, original research materials, and maps tracking reported cases around the world. This is a rare glimpse into decades of research pioneered by Dr. Ian Stevenson and carried forward today by an incredible team of researchers.

What can cases of people seemingly speaking languages they've never learned tell us about reincarnation? In Episode 3 of Reincarnation Records, Ky visits the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, where researchers have spent decades documenting and investigating claims of past-life memories. Xenoglossy is one of the phenomena researchers have examined in connection with these claims. By studying reported cases and investigating possible explanations, including prior exposure and forgotten learning, researchers have sought to understand whether these unusual abilities could offer evidence of a previous life. From the accounts themselves to the methods used to investigate them, the episode explores what these cases might reveal, and what questions remain unanswered. 🎧 Episode 3, Can Reincarnation Be Investigated? is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

How can you investigate a belief that a child is remembering a past life? Marieta Pehlivanova Ph.D., describes it almost like a forensic investigation into two people: the child reporting the memories, and the deceased person they may be remembering. At UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies, researchers examine both lives, looking for connections, corroborating details, and possible explanations for what the child knows. In this clip, Marieta Pehlivanova explains how cases come to light and how researchers know they can begin to investigate. 🎧 Episode 3 of Reincarnation Records, Can Reincarnation Be Investigated? is out now.

Thousands of children have reported memories of past lives. But what happens when researchers try to verify their stories? At the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, a team has spent decades doing just that: documenting children's accounts, tracing the people and places they describe, and investigating whether their memories can be independently verified. In Episode 3 of Reincarnation Records, we dig into this remarkable body of research, speaking with the researchers behind it, exploring the methods used to investigate these claims, and examine what the evidence can actually tell us. 🎧 Episode 3, Can Reincarnation Be Investigated?, is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

On this week’s episode of Reincarnation Records, we continue following Carol Bowman’s journey into past life research, exploring the experiences and questions that inspired her investigation in extraordinary cases🌟

How can a 3 year old experience clinical depression when nothing in their present life seems to explain it? On this week’s Reincarnation Records, we meet Colleen Hocken, a mother whose child’s traumatic past life memories led to a life altering experience.
