The Telepathy Tapes

Before he could barely speak, a little boy named Christian displayed an uncanny ability with a baseball bat. He spoke of playing beneath stadium lights, traveling by train, and memories of another family. But when he inexplicably announced that he was angry with Babe Ruth, it sent his mother on an investigation she never could have anticipated, leading to one of baseball’s greatest legends.

Meanwhile, another toddler, Hunter, watched footage of golf icon Bobby Jones and declared, “That was me.” His parents soon noticed unusual golfing abilities, including a swing and technical habits they say he was never taught.

We also dig into the University of Virginia’s archives, where researchers have documented remarkable cases of children displaying extraordinary talents and abilities seemingly connected to past lives. Together, these stories raise a fascinating question: Could we inherit more than memories from the lives we’ve lived before?

At just 18 months old, a boy named Esara began describing a terrifying death. He recalled drowning, named the friend who drowned alongside him, and spoke of another family, another home, and a life in a city nearly 200 miles away.

His older sister began documenting his memories long before anyone identified the boy he appeared to be describing: a 14-year-old named Thilanga, who died exactly one year before Esara was born.

When four-year-old Esara draws a map to the temple and home he claims to remember from his previous life, a reluctant search begins, unraveling an extraordinary mystery surrounding a teenager's untimely death, two families connected by seemingly impossible memories, and a child who appears to have inherited not just intimate details of a stranger's life, but his talents, skills, habits, and even the nicknames of those he loved.

A child remembers being murdered with a blow to the head and bears an unusual mark in the same place. Another recalls being shot, with birthmarks that appear to match a bullet's entry and exit wounds. But what makes these cases extraordinary is that researchers identified the real people whose lives the children claimed to remember and, in some cases, uncovered autopsy reports and medical records documenting fatal injuries that appeared to match the children's birthmarks and birth defects.

Dr. Ian Stevenson, founder of the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, was so fascinated by these cases that he devoted decades to investigating them. These physical correspondences make children's past-life memories far more difficult to explain away as coincidence, imagination, or suggestion.

Could the human body carry physical evidence that consciousness survives death?

Can a child really remember a life that came before their own? And what happens when those memories contain details that can be independently verified?

For more than 60 years, researchers at the University of Virginia have investigated thousands of children who claim to remember previous lives, developing methods to test their extraordinary accounts. In this episode, we explore the science behind those investigations, the surprising patterns emerging from decades of research, and a remarkable case from Sri Lanka involving a young girl who recalls a distant village, another family, and even a hidden container of money.

If a child's memories match the life of someone who actually existed, what does that tell us? Is it coincidence, something science has yet to explain, or evidence of reincarnation?

Carol Bowman, a mother turned researcher of children’s past-life memories, begins with a question she can’t shake: if children are carrying memories from another life, could talking about them help them heal? When a frightened mother calls about her three-year-old son Blake, Carol gets a chance to find out. After months of unexplained pain, withdrawal, and memories of being killed by a truck, one conversation appears to change him overnight. The experience propels Carol onto the national stage and brings stories from families across America pouring in.

But healing is one thing. Evidence is another. Years later, Carol encounters the kind of case she has been searching for: a young Louisiana boy plagued by nightmares of dying in a burning airplane. He begins offering specific details about a World War II pilot, an aircraft carrier, fellow servicemen, and where he says he was shot down. His Christian father sets out to find another explanation, until his investigation begins uncovering names, military records, eyewitnesses, recognitions, and a dead pilot whose life appears to match his son’s memories.

When a child’s story comes with names, records, witnesses, recognitions, and a paper trail, does that mean reincarnation is real? Or is something else giving these children access to information they seemingly could not know?

When five-year-old Chase Bowman developed an inexplicable terror of loud booming sounds, his mother, Carol, had no idea what was causing it. Then, sitting on her lap at their kitchen table, Chase began describing another life: a soldier on a battlefield, a gun with a bayonet, a wound to his wrist, and ultimately, his own death. What happened afterward was just as startling. The chronic eczema on Chase’s wrist cleared, and his debilitating fear of loud noises disappeared.

For Carol, that moment changed everything. A stay-at-home mom with no background in science or reincarnation research, she became determined to understand what had happened to her son. Were experiences like Chase’s real? Were other children having them? How common are these memories in the West, especially in Judeo-Christian families like hers? Could simply remembering and talking about these memories somehow help children heal? 

Her search would lead her to the work of pioneering researcher Ian Stevenson and eventually beyond her own family, as Carol began looking for other American parents whose children were describing memories they couldn’t explain. Was she uncovering something hidden in plain sight about memory, consciousness, and what survives death? Or were parents simply finding meaning in experiences that could be explained by more conventional means?

In Part Two of Caelum's story, we go deeper into the writings and experiences he has shared with his family since learning to communicate through facilitated communication.

Joining Caelum's mother, Anne-Marie, is his brother Jacob, who has spent years communicating with Caelum and documenting his thoughts in journals. Together, they share Caelum's reflections on God, consciousness, death, and what he says he experienced during the time he was outside his body after his drowning.

Caelum describes being given a choice to remain in the presence of God or return to this reality, and explains why he believes he came back with a purpose: to teach. He shares his understanding of what happens after death, what he calls different “realities” and levels of consciousness, and the role of love, service, and free will in our lives.

We also hear some of Caelum's poetry and reflections on his paintings, as well as stories about the unusual ways his family says he perceives the people and world around him.

At 17 months old, Caelum Miller suffered a near-fatal drowning that left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. Doctors told his family he would likely remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. But his parents refused to close the door on what might be possible.

Years later, Caelum learned to communicate through facilitated communication and began sharing thoughts, memories, and experiences that his family says challenged everything they understood about his consciousness.

In this episode, Caelum and his mother, Anne-Marie, tell the story of his remarkable recovery and the moment communication changed everything. Caelum describes what he says he experienced while outside his body, including an encounter with a deceased musician he had never met, and shares his perspective on God, consciousness, and what he believes happens beyond this physical world.

We also hear from Anne-Marie about the skepticism surrounding facilitated communication, the years of journals documenting Caelum's words, and what it has meant for their family to discover a voice they were once told they would never hear.

In this bonus episode from our partner series The Telepathy Tapes: Now What?, Betsy and Libby sit down with Dr. Zach Bush for a conversation about one of the ideas at the heart of their experiences as parents: what if our children are perceiving the world in ways we have forgotten how to perceive ourselves?

The conversation begins with nature. Betsy reflects on how her son Joe is drawn to the earth, water, and the natural world, while she often finds herself caught up in the worries of everyday life. From there, Zach explores his belief that life is fundamentally built through relationship and that many of us have become disconnected from that sense of interconnection.

They talk about autism, sensory experience, food, the microbiome, and why Zach believes some nonspeaking autistic people may be deeply attuned to environmental signals that others have learned to filter out. They also discuss parenting, the exhaustion of trying to control outcomes, and what can happen when caregivers begin to follow their child's lead rather than constantly trying to make their child fit into the world around them.

For parents who have spent years asking What do I do?, Zach offers a different question: What happens if we become quiet enough to notice what our children are already showing us?

Grammy-nominated artist Willow Smith joins Ky Dickens for a deeply personal conversation about music as medicine, dreams as creative portals, spirituality, and the mystery of human connection.

Willow shares how a lifetime of curiosity - from sacred traditions and nature to science and consciousness - has shaped her creative life. She reflects on music as a devotional and communal practice, the role of intuition in her songwriting, and the profound experiences that have expanded her sense of what may be possible.

She also discusses “Talk On The Hill,” her beautiful song from her newest album The Thread, inspired by the non-speakers of The Telepathy Tapes and the extraordinary possibilities of communication beyond words.
