The Boy who Lived Before!

I saw this Amazing article online and I thought I should share!

LITTLE Cameron Macaulay was a typical six-
year-old, always talking about his mum and
family.

He liked to draw pictures of his home too — a
long single-storey, white house standing in a
bay.

But it sent shivers down his mums spine —
because Cameron said it was somewhere they
had never been, 160 miles away from where they
lived.

And he said the mother he was talking about
was his old mum.
Convinced he had lived a previous life Cameron
worried his former family would be missing him.

The Glasgow lad said they were on the Isle Of
Barra.
Mum Norma, 42, said: "Ever since Cameron
could speak he's come up with tales of a
childhood on Barra."

He spoke about his former parents, how his dad
died, and his brothers and sisters.

Eventually we just had to take him there to see
what we could find.
It was an astonishing experience.

Camerons journey to find his previous life is now
the subject of a spooky TV documentary.
Norma said: "His dad and I are no longer
together but neither of our families have ever
been to the island."

At first we just put his stories down to a vivid
imagination. Then life took a more sinister turn
as Cameron started to become distressed at
being away from his Barra family.
Norma said: "It was awful and went on for
years."
When he started nursery his teacher asked to
see me and told me all the things Cameron was
saying about Barra.

He missed his mummy and
his brothers and sisters there.

He missed playing in rockpools on the beach
beside his house.

And he complained that in our house there was
only one toilet, whereas in Barra, they had three.

He used to cry for his mummy. He said shed be
missing him and he wanted to let his family in
Barra know he was all right.
It was very distressing. He was inconsolable.
He wouldnt stop talking about Barra, where they
went, what they did and how he watched the
planes landing on the beach from his bedroom
window.

He even said his dad was called Shane
Robertson, who had died because "he didnt look
both ways."
I assume he means knocked over by a car but
he never says that.
One day his nursery teacher told me a film
company were looking for people who believed
they had lived before.

She suggested I contact them about Cameron.
My family were horrified. There was a lot of
opposition to it.

Im a single parent so it was me
and Camerons brother Martin, who is only a
year older than him, who were being badly
affected by this.

Cameron wouldn't stop begging me to take him
to Barra. It was constant.
I contacted the film company and they followed
Camerons journey to Barra.

We had child psychologist Dr Jim Tucker, from
Virginia, with us.

He specializes in reincarnation and has
researched other children like Cameron.
When Cameron was told we were going to Barra
he was jumping all over the place with
excitement. The family flew from Glasgow last
February and landed on Cockleshell Bay an hour
later.
Norma said: "He asked me if his face was shiny,
because he was so happy."
Cameron and Norma ... he says "if you die you
come back again"
When we got to the island and DID land on a
beach, just as Cameron had described, he turned
to Martin and me said, "Now do you believe
me?"
He got off the plane, threw his arms in the air
and yelled "Im back."
He talked about his Barra mum, telling me she
had brown hair down to her waist before shed
had it cut.
He said Id like her and shed like me. He was
anxious for us to meet.
He also talked about a big book he used to read,
and God and Jesus.
Were not a religious family but his Barra family
were.
The Macaulays booked into a hotel and began
their search for clues to Cameron's past.
Norma said: "We contacted the Heritage Centre
and asked if they'd heard of a Robertson family

who lived in a white house overlooking a bay.

"
They hadnt. Cameron was very disappointed. We
drove around the island but he didnt see the
house.

Then we realized that if he saw planes land on
the beach from his bedroom window, we were
driving the wrong way.

Next the family received a call from their hotel to
confirm that a family called Robertson once had
a white house on the bay.

Norma explains: We didnt tell Cameron
anything.

We just drove towards where we were
told the house was and waited to see what
would happen.

He recognized it immediately and was overjoyed.

But as we walked to the door all the colour
drained from Camerons face and he became
very quiet.

I think he thought it would be exactly the same
as he remembered it, that his Barra mum would
be waiting for him inside.

He looked sad. There
was no one there.

The previous owner had died

but a key-holder let us in.
There were lots of nooks and crannies and
Cameron knew every bit of the house —
including the THREE toilets and the beach view
from his bedroom window. In the garden, he
took us to the ‘secret entrance he'd been talking
about for years.

Researchers also managed to track down one of
the Robertson family who had owned the house.

Norma said: "We visited them at their new
address in Stirling, but couldn't find anything
about a Shane Robertson. Cameron was eager
to see old family photographs in case he found
his dad or himself in any."

He'd always talked about a big black car and a
black and white dog.

The car and the dog were in the photos.

Since the family returned to their home in
Clydebank, Glasgow, Cameron has been much
calmer.

Norma said: "Going to Barra was the best thing
we could have done.

Its put Cameron's mind at ease.

He no longer
talks about Barra with such longing."

Now he knows we no longer think he was
making things up.

We didnt get all the answers we were looking for

— and, apparently, past life memories fade as
the person gets older.

Cameron has never spoken about dying to me.
But he told his pal not to worry about dying,
because you just come back again.
When I asked him how he ended up with me, he
tells me he "fell through and went into my
tummy."

And when I ask him what his name was before,
he says, "Its Cameron. Its still me."
I don't think well ever get all the answers.
