Back in 2007, a Child Protection worker in a remote town in Ireland was asked to help out the family of a little boy who kept running away into the woods behind their home. The little boy said he was meeting up with his new friend, but as strange details about the boy emerge, the story that unravels is beyond spooky.

It was Halloween night in 1974 and the only thing eight-year-old Timothy O'Bryan was looking forward to more than Trick-or-Treating with his family, was tearing into his stash of sweet treats when he got home.

'Choose one - and then bed' was the deal Timothy's dad, Ronald, made with Timothy and his little sister, shortly before tucking them in for the night.

Less than an hour after eating his chosen treat, Timothy O'Bryan would be dead and life as the O'Bryans knew it was over... and all at the hands of a man who would later be dubbed 'The Man Who Killed Halloween.'

When a four-year-old girl who’d been non-verbal her whole life started talking out of the blue one day, her parents were thrilled. That was until they started noticing that she some of the things she was saying were becoming increasingly strange - especially her claims that she was someone else entirely. And she wanted to go home. 

Today, we look back at what many describe as the most valid case of reincarnation in history - the story of Shanti Devi.
