Are our children simply blank slates, or could they be carrying memories from lives once lived? This fascinating episode dives into the story of Christian Haupt, a 2-year-old boy who shocked his parents by claiming to be the reincarnation of legendary baseball player Lou Gehrig. Without any previous exposure to baseball history, Christian identified photos, matched Gehrig's left-handed swing, and even recalled emotional memories about former teammates—details that leave listeners wondering where the line between imagination and inexplicable knowledge truly lies.

it as just it's just a playful imagination. I don't
even know who's Lou this is.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
They didn't, they weren't baseball fans.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Until one day Christian saw a set of photos and
this is no lie. Christian's eyes welled up. He looked
at a man in the photo and said he was
mean to me. He was not a nice man. And
the mom's like what. Then he pointed to a team

(01:51):
photo and he said, look that's me. I'm the guy
with the dimples, Lou Gerrick. No, don't laugh, this is true.
Stop mocking me. Past lives are true. He was only
two years old with no exposure to baseball history whatsoever.
Christian even matched on details, being left handed, Lou's swing

nothing to do with baseball.

be famous and he's using their child. She's not even
putting herself in it.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
We just found the mother her details in one Google search.

Speaker 3 (03:44):

old daughter and there have been countless times where she
has said things that I'm like, how do you know
that no one's ever said that to you before? What?
I don't even know. There's been so many things. And
I put that down to her being here before. And
I didn't necessarily believe in it until my young job

(04:04):
led Zeppelin song came on the radio. The first note
of the songs going, this song, I've heard it before,
never heard it before.

this conversation before, I've had this exact conversation before, and

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
