A mistake I made in high school.

And I've mentioned here on Spook that explored hypnosis back in high school. It was fun, exciting, state stuff. Had folk shouting out strange new languages, others jumping up the translate. I started out using my brothers as test subjects.

Had them both barking like dolls, larious. Later, friends volunteer. We'd laugh. Watching them suddenly hold their nose.

“Think they are smelling the worst thing ever.”

Good stuff fun. And I don't coil now.

I had no idea what I was playing with.

It was barking like a dog. That's all well and good. That's chuckles and laughs, but one day I told Alex that he was going back in time. Back in time to when he was 10, 8, 4 years old. And I gave him a pin.

And I asked him to write his name. And then suddenly, four year Alex, he says, "I don't know how to spell my name." People gasped and I was lucky. Everybody had a great time even Alex.

I should've left it alone. But now I had to push. Now I want to be the man. So next session, I tell Tammy, from setting up the induction. I tell her that we too.

We're going to go back in time again. Way back in time. Before we go, Tammy. I want you to know when I say the word popsicle, you're going to immediately collapse to the most beautiful dream

“of chocolate waterfalls and gumdrops and magic rainballs, okay?”

Okay, okay. Now, every sound you hear, every breath you take you go deeper and deeper into this state. We're calling it hypnosis, right? Deeper and deeper and deeper, come with me.

Deeper through time. Deeper your 12 years old. Deeper your 10 years old. Deeper five. Three deeper, two deeper.

One deeper zero. Nine floating in the in between space. Some people Tammy, who have passed through this land before, they recall that they once had another life of full life they lived before this one.

“And now, Tammy, I want you to go back to that life,”

to the life you had before, okay? Okay. Now, go there, go into that life, go into that body. And as soon as you're there, open your eyes and tell me what you see.

Everybody all around, they crowd around in anticipation. This is the big showstopper, the wild moment. The thing everybody at school is going to talk about. Tammy opens her eyes. And I see.

Or possible. Her eyes closed, her head lost to the side. Her breathing resumes deep and rhythmic. And all I know is that my little show. This show is over.

That this game, this is not a game. And I am worse than a fraud. See, it does not take even intent to do harm.

And I will be forever grateful that this time for the first time

before putting someone under my ridiculous child's concept of hypnosis. This time, I told her about the safe place. I told her where to hide. 'Cause truthfully, I had no idea what to do. And what she saw.

Popsicle.

Now. [Music] Then next life. Then other life. Let's meet Jenny.

“It's a 70s and her family is moving into a rundown house outside of Philadelphia.”

In this place, the shadows know how to keep secrets but sometimes.

They'll sing secrets. The way of spilling over. Spooked. [Music] [Music]

We moved in in early August of 1972.

“My parents, my sister, and I walk into this house with our three-down nations.”

And instantly, it is clear that the previous owners of the house fancied himself and amateur interior decorator. This elegant living room was black. The room's painted crazy colors. The family room had these like wagon wheel, chandelier things hanging from the ceiling and zebra-striped

paneling on walls. The reason my parents could afford it though is that it was in such crazy, bad condition.

“My father said, "Let's go upstairs so you can choose your rooms."”

Second floor was even darker than the first floor.

My sister immediately chose her room. My father picked the room next to it, which was, I guess that was the master bedroom. I went into the last room on the second floor and I see this room that looks like a girls bedroom with these kind of fairly curtains on the wall. I loved that room, and I said, "Is this going to be mine?"

My mother said, "No, we thought you'd like to be up on the third floor."

That's where the boys of the previous family, the Hans had lived. I kind of went up there and looked around and thought, "Yikes." I had this just kind of creepy vibe. There was an absolutely creepy vibe in there. It was dark, and it also had this kind of creepy yellow wallpaper. That featured what looked like sheet music.

Then there was this bathroom with marks on the ceiling where the rain leaked through the roof. I said, "Oh, I have to be up there, but you're all going to be down here." One of my parents said, "Well, you can have your own empire." I was like, "Okay, I guess I'm going to have my own empire." One night my parents went out and I was determined to scrape off the wallpaper in my bedroom.

It was this kind of electric hippie blue, and I started tearing up the wallpaper.

Just ripping it down, left and right. While I was scraping off this wallpaper, I felt something was watching me. Something I felt it so, so strongly. One part of me is just aware of what I'm feeling. And the other part of me is saying, "The way you would, there are no such things as ghosts don't be an idiot."

“I kept slicing the paper, and that's why I know it is something.”

Underneath the wallpaper were all of these scribbles and drawings. Right there, it's shoulder level. There was a line that said, "In this room in the year 1898 lived Dorothy Cummins, who was not of sound mind and drowned." Pulled off this big chunk of wallpaper, and I noticed below knee level there were a bunch of children's drawings. As if someone, you know, a kid had been drawing on the wall and scribble.

There were some wavy lines that might have been the ocean, the sun, the moon, and there was a face. There was a face of a woman with this long hair.

“It wasn't a great drawing, and it had been underneath wallpaper for a long time.”

I put two and two together, so there was someone in this room who was not of sound mind. And now here are these drawings. So I just assumed that it had been that woman in the drawing, the one who had drowned. That's the story I assembled in my mind. It was creepy.

And you know, I'd painted it over, and all those drawings disappeared.

Living in that house was all a big, a very big change for us, but also I was about to enter ninth grade and that was really scary. I went to this all-boy school. It was a place where, you know, we had to wear coats. We had to wear ties. Everything was about football. I wanted to be a poet. I wanted to be a musician.

When I was home, I'd spend most of my time in my room by myself. It was a place of quiet. It was a place of peace. And on the third floor, there was this store room.

“In that room, of course, went all of the garment bags and the, you know, clothes of my mother and my sister. As a kid, I play this game called Girl Planet, in which I believed I was an astronaut who had crashed on a, you know, an alien planet.”

But here's the deal in that place that Girl Planet, the atmosphere changed you into a girl. It just happened. And you're, you're clothes changed to a girl's clothes to bang. So, you know, on the third floor, there's nobody up there. Every day I come home from school. I go in there. I grab one of the dresses and I slip it on and go into my room and pull the deadbolt and sit down and do my homework. And then when I was done, when I finally got to sleep, I put them back. There was one night. I woke up at, like, two in the morning. And I noticed that my dog was growling.

My dog was called sausage. She was this kind of fat, downmation dog. And I love that dog, like, crazy. Suddenly I hear a creek out in the hallway. Another creek. So I got out to check things out. And then I noticed the door to the bathroom is open.

And I went into the bathroom and there, over my shoulder, I saw for a second, in the mirror. This old woman.

She was not terribly old, but she was old enough. And she had long blonde hair. She had green eyes. She had, like, a long white night gown. And I noticed that her hair seemed wet.

On that third floor, that feeling ahead that I was being watched, I always had that feeling.

Sometimes I'd find the bathroom door open. And I'd remember being open.

“Had my mother been up there, had my sister been up there, had I just not closed it?”

I don't think my sister or my parents ever felt any of this. One time I remember asking my mother, "Mom, do you ever feel scared in this house? Did you ever feel, do you ever get the creeps?" And she said, "Oh, of course not." It made me sad because it meant that I couldn't explain to her the thing I was feeling. But, you know, I couldn't talk about a lot of things. It had been another typical night for me. I'd come home from school and managed to sneak into my sister's bedroom.

My desire was to grab some stuff from her hamper. You know, that's where she'd throw out her blouse in her skirt at the end of the school day. So I'd go in there.

“There's a green, paisley skirt, and a blue blouse, and a little blue blouse. It had these little mirrors in it.”

I ran back into my room, of course, and hold the dead bolt. I did the switcheru. And at that moment, I got that weird feeling again. I felt the eye is watching me. I did my homework, but I did the switcheru back, and was time to go to bed. But I needed to put everything back where it was.

I went down the creeping stairs, and I stuffed them back in the hamper. And while I was in there, I thought, "Oh, no, what if-- what if they hear me doing this?"

“So I went into the bathroom, and I flushed the toilet to make it seem less suspicious.”

I went back up the stairs to the third floor, gotten bed.

I went to sleep. Somewhere around three o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, I heard my mother screaming. I turned on the light by my bed, the light didn't go on. There's this kind of roaring sound, like we're in the middle of a storm or something, and my mother is screaming from downstairs.

And I opened the door and walked down the stairs to find this waterfall.

Uncle deep on the second floor, pouring down the stairs and pouring through the rungs on the banister.

My sister is in the hallway, and she's pointing to the bathroom, the one that I'd used before, when I grabbed the clothes out of that he ever. And now I see that the toilet in that bathroom is overflowing. Water just pouring like a fountain. So my mother and my sister and I are walking around, and there's just water pouring everywhere.

Now we hear this giant crash from downstairs. We all go down the main staircase into the living room, and that's when we saw it. The kitchen ceiling just collapses, crashes onto the floor, the plaster is everywhere. Here comes sausage coming down the stairs, and we go out into the front hallway, and at that moment the living room ceiling will burst.

Plaster would just rings down on us. My sister went to the front door, swings it open, and this water just gushes out onto the porch. So now our house was wrecked, I mean it like really, really wrecked.

My first thought was, this is all my fault. This is because I flushed that toilet.

“But I remember thinking, what was that girl Dorothy Cummins?”

She was of unsound mind and drowned, and the last time I'd seen her, her hair was wet, and now here's my house. What does that mean? It began in earnest the process of changing that house from what it had been into what it was going to become. New wood flooring went down. The living room which had been black was finally painted a tasteful off-white.

Down came all the old scary wallpaper, and in a year or two that house was almost unrecognizable from the place that we moved into. It was the beginning of kind of the next part of my family's life. But when I got out of college, I moved in New York City, and I forgot everything about Dorothy Cummins.

I would visit my mother pretty regularly. My mother loved that house, and she lived in that house all that time.

“Just around when I turned 40, I think it was 2001.”

We were in what had once been the room with the wagon wheel shandleers and the zebra striped wallpaper. Now, of course, it was an elegant family room. My father was long dead by then. I poured her gin and tonic, her favorite. On a Sunday night, and I said, "Mom, there's something I have to tell you."

And so, I told her I was a trans. I'm sorry, I never told you when I was a child because I was afraid you wouldn't love me anymore.

And that's when I began to cry and shake and just sob. But my mother reached out to me.

In my mother's last week or two of life, we had home health care nurses looking out for her.

“But one night, one of the home health care nurses quit.”

She'd gone into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. And in the mirror, behind her, she saw the face of an old woman. She turned around and there was no one there. So, there was still something up there, something still living in that house. In 2011, my mother died at the age of 94.

You know, we did the thing people do.

My sister and I selected the things of my parents we wanted to keep.

The rest went off to auction. There was one day when, you know, moving vans came and I was just kind of overseeing the whole business. I was there by myself and now.

“And I climbed the stairs and I sat down in what had been that room with the yellow wallpaper.”

And I started weeping and crying. I felt the passage of the years and the loss of my parents, whom I really loved. And also, I remembered how much I'd carried something that I just didn't have the language to talk about. Eventually, I got up and I went to the bathroom. And I looked in the mirror and there was that old woman looking at me again.

But I realized it wasn't a ghost. It was me. Age 55. It was the woman that I'd grown up to be. Thank you so much, Jenny, for sharing your story with the spooked.

“Jennifer Finney, Boilin. She's the author of 19 books, including "I'm Looking Through You," growing up haunted.”

We can read more about her experiences living in that house. Also, her new memoir, Cleavage. Men, women, and the space between us is out now, we have links to Jenny's books in the episode description. That's sort of a scouted by Elliot Lightfoot.

[music playing] Been here before, done this before. You ever watched a child sleep innocent, peaceful? Who's letting her? He's to watch his son sleep, who james. Just two years old, perfect, perfect little boy.

To one night, the screaming star. Airplane crash on fire, little man can't get out. Who's a Russian? The soup is a little boy. Time everything's going to be high. But night after night, two a.m. three a.m.

This, baby boy, he wakes thrashing, kicking like he's trapped inside some little man can't get out. When that is Mama, holds him close and asks, "What's this little man?" James looks up at her terrified, says me.

Little james and never seen a warm movie.

Just two years old, he watches Barney, plays with blocks. He starts saying things, specific things. So this is playing, got shut down, the Japanese did it. So he threw off a boat caught in a tomah. A tomah.

Bruce's pops, it takes his crazy nonsense, but for some reason, Bruce searches anyway. Goes through all records, old books, and he finds it. The USS, the Tomah Bay. It's real, an escort carrier in the Pacific, and then he learns it. What his pilot was killed at Yujima.

And here, Bruce has to shut down his own little research project for a little bit.

“To understand Bruce, who's raised Baptist?”

And this reincarnation is not part of his world view, but his little boy keeps talking. Little james says he had a friend named Jack Larson. And it turns out there was a Jack Larson, who flew Hudson on the tomah bay. Little james says his plane got hit in the engine. I witnessed his saw Hudson's plane take a direct hit to the engine before exploded and plunged into the sea.

Little james draws pictures of aerial combat, explosions, signs of James III. Why three? Because I'm the third james. James Huston Jr. was James Huston the second. And after many more hours of research, many more deep family conversations.

Andrea James' mother learns that Hudson's sister, Ian, she said alive. James Huston's baby sister, 84 years old, and still grieving. Andrea sets up a phone call. It's a little boy.

And speaking to a woman, he'd never met.

Cauls are Annie.

“Only James Hudson Jr. ever called her that.”

He knew their father drank. He knew he had to go away. He knew their mother painted Anne's portrait when she was little girl. Private things. Family things.

Things not many book. As if they put down the phones. And since the package of young james. Along with the letters, she includes her brothers' belongings. Family heirlooms.

Gifted. Return. As if they're his own birthright. A model plain. Buster George Washington, she starts calling him James III.

He calls her sister. And James III turns 11. His parents take him to Japan. They're the travel to TGDMA. The small island nearers to where Hudson's plane went down.

They motored out in a rented fishing boat to the exact spot. And there, weeping. James drops flowers into the water. A memorial to himself. For himself.

From himself. This story. So many of those extensively documented cases of past life recollection ever. No one had thanked the family for the wrath of interviews. Ridings, even publishing the book, "Soul Survivor."

The reincarnation of a war war to fighter pilot. By Bruce and Andrea Lettinger. The University of Virginia, who documented this case extensively in his research on children's past life memories. And if you have a story for Scoot. Please let me know.

And I'm pretty sure that this is my first time through this world.

My first pass. I could be wrong, but I can't remember anything else.

That I'll feel the need to return. But I know right now, I'm not done. I'm unfinished.

See, the apologies must first be made.

Wrongs must be right at wines.

“It takes the art scene, hugs given, stories shared, so so much to do.”

But instead of rushing to do it, I find myself doomed scrolling. There's latest outrage on my phone. What a gift.

What an amazing gift it would be to take that final rest and feel complete, like, like, okay.

I did that.

“Let us laugh together one last time, but to me, that happened.”

I was first getting very, very, very lucky. And then, I was getting very, very busy. And murder. This electronic thief of dreams, because I know. I know.

“With absolute certainty, my real war is regret.”

Never, ever, ever, turn out, light.
