Niels is sure that his mother used to be his child, James recognizes graves he has never seen before and Cato was called an old soul by the medium. Not everything children say can be dismissed as ‘a vivid fantasy’.
Jannet (30), mother of Niels (4):
“My toddler Niels is absolutely convinced: he used to be a daddy, and then I was his baby. My husband thinks it’s nonsense and says he has too much imagination, but I often go into it. Then I lie in bed next to him and let him tell stories about how we used to live, when there were no shops and we had to find our own food. I’ve read about new age children and find it especially striking that such a little twink talks about the past, when he was old…”
déjà vu
Megan (32), mother of James (5) and Sarah (4 months):
“’Mom, we’ve been here before, haven’t we?’ Every time we were in France last Normandy holiday, James recognized castles, abbeys, chalk cliffs and even the military graves. But it was the first time for all of us to be there.
Still, at times he could provide detailed information about a particular building, and at times he seemed to have an intense déjà vu. Then he became completely cold or even had to cry. Could he really have lived once?”

Who is this old soul?
Joyce (38), mother of Boaz and Lisanne (11) and Cato (7):
“Two years ago, my neighbor Bette invited a medium to her home because she wanted to get in touch with her deceased sister. She had asked a few friends, because the psychic would hold a whole session for those who were interested. I, very sober and very skeptical, wanted to experience it sometime.
“I, very sober and very skeptical, wanted to experience such a session.”
I had to admit that the man told accurate things that he would then get from Bette’s sister, but I thought all the dead with an A and an E in their name that floated by like angels.
The medium was still busy arguing when our youngest daughter Cato stepped in. She was looking for Mom. Suddenly he stopped, startled and asked aloud who that girl belonged to. I was just as shocked. “Mine,” I answered hesitantly. To which he said: ‘This child sees so much. This really is an old soul.’
So far I have not noticed any special powers at Cato. But I find it very spooky.”
