Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast AM on
iHeart Radio. Let's see, let's oh, here's one on our
Past Life hotline. John is in Lakeland, Florida. John, Good morning,
Welcome to coast. Yes, how are you past alive? My
mother was a big storyteller, and you know, she always
knew what we were going to do before we knew

(00:21):
what we were going to do. And one day she
told us about that she died as a British soldier
in World War One, and we just kind of thought
it was, you know, just her talking stories. And so
one day we did manage to purchase an old British
rifle through mail order and we gave it to her
and says, mom, you know what this is? And she
said that to Smellie. I said, what in the world?

(00:44):
And my mother talking about us smelly and they says,
do you know how to use it? And she took it,
opened the boat set the sight, pulled the magazine out,
and I couldn't believe her. We just fell over and
maybe she'd tell him the rude Well many years ago,
we uh after that, we kind of find out what

(01:04):
a smell is and we thought we she was just crazy.
And it's a small magazine, the Enveiled, and knowing people
who would know that would be somebody you was in
the military. And how old was your mother at the time?
How how how old was your mother at the time
at that time? She well, she died recently in their

(01:26):
eighties and uh, she was probably, oh, I say, in
her forties or in that age. It was just all right,
she told us the story. But and so she was
born in the third decarnation from that right, So she
was born in the thirties, over twenty years after the

(01:47):
First World War ended? And was that the only time
she'd mentioned being a soldier older? Had she? I might
hit my time? I was she born in nineteen nine? Team?
And she said as soon as she died she was reborn.

(02:08):
And did she ever ever share any other details about
her experience in the war, specific battles or something like that.
The airplane has had three wings? And I didn't know
what she's talking about, but come to find out that
there were airplanes that were three wings, not just the biplanes,
but there were planes with three wings. By plane that's
a red barren plural triplane. Oh, is that right? That

(02:31):
was a triplane? You're right. Actually I can, I can.
I can see that in my mind's eye. Now, you're right,
that was a triplane. Fascinating. It's kind of kind of
weird that she knew all these things, So I guess
I do believe in reincarnation now, you know. I still
have dreams at night that I actually died and during
World War Two and Dunkirk. Isn't that weird? And I've

(02:53):
had a fascination with, you know, British web gear and stuff,
so knows that is interesting. Have you ever thought about
undergoing a past life regression with a hypnotherapist. No, it'd
be interesting to do. That might be a little scary,
I'll say, well something to consider. John, Thank you, that's

(03:16):
a that was a great call. I appreciate that. Fascinating.
