37: Reincarnation & Past Life Memories

Insomniacs: The Podcast

Join us this week as we explore the mysterious realm of past life memories. In this episode, we delve into the possibility of recalling events from a previous life, the origin and roots of the belief in reincarnation and the existence of past lives, and we discuss scientific and psychological explanations for past life memories. From cryptomnesia to false memories and the influence of cultural factors, we explore how the mind constructs narratives that may be perceived as genuine memories.
But, of course, this wouldn't be an episode of Insomniacs: The Podcast without exploring the creepier side of past lives. Join us while Ashley shares some of the creepiest, most unsettling, and downright bizarre accounts of supposed past life recollections. From a little boy who believed he drowned on the Titanic, to a brother recounting war memories from a past life, to an (American) child claiming to have been a (Russian) cosmonaut and so much more, this episode is SURE to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
Stay Spooky, Stay Safe, and Sweet Dreams!
And of course, a big thanks to Sean for all the work he continues to do for us on these episodes!
