Reincarnation: The Past-Life Case of James Leininger.

A two-year-old boy begins describing a WWII plane crash—with details that match the death of a real pilot decades before he was born.

📍 Location: Louisiana, United States

At just two years old, James Leininger began having violent nightmares of a plane crash, screaming about fire, explosions, and a “little man who couldn’t get out.” His parents were terrified… until James started giving specific details about World War II airplanes, Navy aircraft carriers, and a real fighter pilot who died decades before James was born.

This is one of the most famous and heavily documented reincarnation cases in the world: the story of a child who remembered a past life as Lt. James Huston Jr., a WWII pilot shot down in the Battle of Iwo Jima.

This episode explores:

• The past-life memories of James Leininger
• The WWII aircraft and carrier he correctly identified
• The real pilot’s crash and how it matches James’s nightmares
• Veterans who confirmed James’s statements
• UVA’s research on reincarnation and children’s past-life memories
• Scientific, psychological, and survival-based theories behind the case

Is this evidence of reincarnation… or something we still can’t fully explain? Let us know what you think.

Lt. James Huston Jr. Grave
