The Reincarnation Files: 2,500 Cases. 60 Years Inside the University That Studies Life After Death.

Since the 1960s, a division inside the University of Virginia's medical school has quietly built a database of more than 2,500 cases of young children who describe verifiable details of lives they never lived, beginning with founder Ian Stevenson and continuing under Dr. Jim Tucker today. From a Louisiana toddler's nightmares of a burning WWII fighter plane to birthmarks matching the wounds of the deceased, the case files are documented, coded, and still unexplained. This is the story of the strangest research program in American academia and why almost nobody knows it exists.
