James Leinenger's case is a possible reincarnation in history. From the age of three James parents began to hear stories from their son that shocked them that their son was recalling his previous life as a navy pilot who died in 1945.

As Christians his parents never believed in reincarnation but when they began to connect the dots the picture became clear. The first clue came from terrifying non Stop nightmares that james began witnessing at the age of two;he would murmur “airplane crash on fire,a little man can't get out”.To his parents it all seemed like he was possessed as he was freaking out. Within a year the visions that greeted james in nightmare began taking shape when he was awake ,he would kick his feet ,say things like"little man going like this, can't get out".His mother then equired him “who's the little man?” and he said “”me"".His mother had goosebumps after listening this on further interrogation he said his plane crashed because japanese shot it down. He then gave his parents the next clue and this was very specific one he says"his aircraft took off from a ship named natoma".His further rushed to the computer and googled this name and stood their staring for prolonged time.

He then decided to get to the bottom of this and went on an  investigation doing his own research. Meanwhile james kept providing his parents additional clues,he started drawing his visuals like a plane on fire,an air battle and his signature. At three James started pretending to be a pilot with astonishing details. Luckily his father was invited to the natoma bay veterans reunion and there he got to know that there was a man named James Houston junior , world war 2 navy pilot who died at age of 21 on March 3,1945 when his plane was shot down over chichijuma. Later his parents contacted with james houstan only surviving relative his sister Anne there James asked for a painting that only one person other than her knew existed which her past mother had drawn for him and his sister.

James childhood was spent recounting memories of his past which haunted him.His parents instead of taking him to doctor they decided to go to the very place where james houstan died.There he convinced him to say goodbye to Jim Houston and embrace his new life as james Leinenger. He cried their for twenty minutes , and after that he left something there and was ready to move on. He is now 13 years old and can remember nothing specific.
