Beautiful story ...
Ever since he could talk, Cameron has been telling stories of his
life on Barra, a remote island in the Outer Hebrides, some 220 miles
from his current home in Glasgow. He describes in detail his childhood
on the island: the white house he lived in, the black-and-white dog he
walked on the beach. He talks about his mother, seven siblings and his
father, Shane Robertson, who died when he was run over by a car.
Nothing
strange about all that. Except the fact that Cameron is only five years
old now; his memories seem to be of a former life. Cameron’s stories
have become increasingly more detailed since he first started telling
them, and the shock of him insisting “I’m a Barra boy, I’m a Barra boy”
has worn off a little. But his emotional attachment to his ‘Barra mum’
concerns his mother, and there’s clearly something going on in the poor
kid’s head when he says, “My real barra dad doesn’t look left and
right.” Intrigued by her enigmatic son, Cameron’s mother Norma has
decided to investigate his claims.
Everyone who comes across Cameron is sceptical, but his stories are just so consistent. In her search to find
a rational explanation for Cameron’s tales of his Barra childhood,
Norma first visits psychologist Dr Chris French, editor of The Skeptic
magazine. French suggests that Cameron might simply have acquired
knowledge about Barra through TV or a family friend, and thus invented
the stories himself.
Norma isn’t satisfied by this. Her next port
of call is educational psychologist Karen Majors, who tells her that the
way that Cameron describes his Barra world is similar to the way in
which some children speak about imaginary places and people, except that
Cameron really seems to believe that he has seen the things he
describes first-hand; he also doesn’t seem to be able to control his
‘fantasy’ as other children do. Norma decides to investigate the
possibility of reincarnation, contacting leading expert Dr Jim Tucker at
the University of Virginia.
