I was surprised that he mentioned 80% of cases were frauds. .
They aren't frauds, they're cases that were
rejected because there was a possible way
the kid could have found the info. He
probably didn't but the researchers can't
take any chances. The completed case has
to stand up under the most intense scrutiny
possible. It has to be airtight.

I don't know he pretty forcibly used the term frauds.
"It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures." (
Go back and listen again. He didn't say 80%
of Stevensons cases were frauds. He said he
was asked why he got involved with any of
it, 80% of it is frauds. He's talking about the
subject in general. There are tons of people
out there claiming to be somebody famous
in a previous life, that type of thing.
The parents of kids claiming past memories were
95% concerned parents, they had nothing
to gain by making anything up. But they
can't be researched because the kid might
have had access to the info in the memories
and the case gets tossed out. Read one of
the books, you'll totally understand how the
science methodology worked.

Another theory which fits all of the evidence is possession by restless spirits.

Not quite the same thing.
'Spirit possession is not recognized as a psychiatric or medical diagnosis by the DSM-IV or the ICD-10. People alleged to be possessed by spirits exhibit symptoms similar to those associated with mental illnesses such as psychosis, hysteria, mania, Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, schizophrenia, or dissociative identity disorder including involuntary, uncensored behavior, and an extra-human, extra-social aspect to the individual's actions.'
It's more common in Africa among women
who are malnourished. It's because of
deficiencies in thiamine, tryptophan-niacin,
calcium, and vitamin D.

My father in law turned 90 last week
and got a smartfone for his bday.
He loves it, he even texts while he
walks, head all bent over.
He's always trying to learn new
things. His soul knows it will
reincarnate and souls have to
evolve to, they have to keep
up. The soul of a Neanderthal
wouldn't do too well today.
I think I knew a couple guys
who had Neanderthal souls
back in the 60's. Real pagan
knuckle draggers..

. "The doctrine of reincarnation can be more accurately thought about as a constant rebirth, of death throughout life, and the continual coming and going of universal energy, of which we are all part, before and after death."

Do you believe that rubbish?
The Hindu guru that started the Buddhist movement in 587 BC, never wrote anything down. Neither did any of his followers, until 1,000 years after his death. He lived and died as a Hindu. Today, he would not recognize the movement he started.
Excellent lecture on Buddhism by Dr. Robert Morey

Evenbob, genetic memory is a possibility.
To my knowledge, we have yet to prove genetic memory, so in theory:
All events of our ancestors are recorded through their senses and stored in their DNA.
We inherit their DNA.
However, it depends upon what tree we descend.
We can't cross trees IMO, but we eventually lead to the most common ancestor, so we could share their DNA.
The most common ancestor would be about 300,000 years ago.
But there should be a male and a female at least that long ago, and we can't find both yet in the same time frame.
This theory would agree with the Holy Bible:
