Reincarnation Case Study

Chapter 1 Physical phenomena from previously Summarized Cases
The first example of the phenomena at issue here comes in the very first of the cases in my first book on reincarnation, namely that concerning William McConnell, a New York policeman. Trying to prevent a robbery, he was shot six times, the fatal bullet entering his back and penetrating his left lung, heart, and main pulmonary artery.
One of his daughters, Doreen, five years later bore a son she named William. From the age of three the child gave evidence of familiarity with details of the life of his grandfather. Even earlier, shortly after birth, It was found that the infant‘s valve of the pulmonary artery had not adequately formed, blocking blood from flowing through

From birth she had light colored birthmarks on the left side of her chest and lower ribs. Beginning just before her third birthday she began to speak of a previous life as a male incense maker in a town about 145 miles from her hometown.
