Hi there, I'm K-Town, and on this edition of Mysterious Radio.

I'll share it. Well, I've been a journalist for 40 years pretty much,

and I was a magazine editor in Miami, Florida, and I came across a psychiatrist named Brian Weiss,

who was a very well-respected psychiatrist in Miami Beach, Florida, and he began talking about

very small children, who as soon as they could speak in some cases, remembered I was starting talking

about what sounded like past lives, and he got very interested in this phenomenon, and you know,
