Many people are skeptic to this kind of research because it takes an open mind and is hard to prove because we cannot produce empirical evidence proving it true or false. Doctor Ian Stevenson did not believe in using hypnosis and followed strict protocols when conducting an experiment (Scientific Proof of Reincarnation Dr.Ian Stevenson’s Life Work). Stevenson was so precise and devoted to this because this was his life’s work and he didn’t want to see it shot down because some of the evidence gathered was by means of inferior methods; he was scrupulous in his work. “Dr. Stevenson has devoted the last forty years to the scientific documentation of past life memories of children from all over the world.

I also examined the books and articles published on Shanti Devi from time to time, besides several reports prepared on her by eminent scholars. This is her story, perhaps the most famous reincarnation case on record.” (Past life regression therapy, reincarnation research-The Case of Shanti Devi) In this case what’s most amazing is a family is reunited with someone who was dead yet Shanti is still united with her original family. This case takes a lot of faith, most do but it’s amazing a young girl can make claims of a place she’s never been and can tell stories of a family she never met and they check out to be true and accurate. “Lugdi’s brother told me that Shanti Devi, after seeing some women there, remembered
