"I have experienced ghosts mist of my life, and My son had out of body experiences for a year and a half before he died. He spoke of reincarnation before he was two years old. My grandson was born 13 years after he died. When my grandson was two years old he informed me that he was my son reincarnated. He recognized people in photographs that he had never met he talked about his previous lives until he was about 10. I have seen and heard first-hand accounts of reincarnation. I have seen and heard ghosts."
