Edward Austrian is another case of possible reincarnation. Since early in his life, Ed-

doctors could not explain.What made the latter strange, is how Edward identified with
his throat illnesses, calling it his “shot”. By the time he was four years old, Edward devel-
oped a cyst in his throat. Doctors removed his tonsils as a precautionary measure, since
they could not explain the cause of the cyst.Weeks later, the boy confided to his mother
with a recollection of his previous life as James, an 18 year old soldier, and his life in the
trenches during a war. Edward explained how he was killed; he was shot in the throat.
He described the war zone and events of WWI which were later verified by a historian.
After his recollection of his past life to his mother, his cyst disappeared, something that
his doctor was never able to explain.
