8-year old remembers his own World War II death

Eight-year old James Leininger remembers his past.

That is, the past of another James — Lt. James McCready Huston, a World War II fighter pilot from Uniontown, Penn., who was killed near Iwo Jima more than 50 years before James was born.

James began expressing advanced aviation knowledge when he was about 2.5 years old. He experienced nightmares of being shot down by an airplane with a red sun on it.

In 2004, when he was 6, the Louisiana boy's parents took him to Uniontown, Penn., to a reunion of WWII veterans from Huston's unit. Little James was able to pick out at least one man that had served with Lt. Huston, nearly 60 years ago. James said, "They're so old!"

His mother believes young James is the reincarnated soul of Lt. James Huston. Read this fascinating story from the Uniontown Daily Courier, and see what you think.
