Creepy things that kids say. When my nephew was 4 he suddenly announced, "Robert's dead. He's in the black sand. This was his house but it's ours now."
My sister decided that meant their house was haunted.
Our mom decided it meant she should stop letting the 4 year old watch horror movies with his dad. 👻 👽 😱
🤣👍
That black sand comment gives me, "time is a flat circle.." vibes and I don't like it 😅
Our universe is spatially infinite and everybody has an infinite number of incarnations across space. So if you get killed by jumping off a building a copy of you who jumps off the exact same building did not get killed survives even through it might be permanently injured by surviving. So from your own point of view you can never die because there if there is a very slight chance of survival you will survive from your point of view. Only version of you who lives keeps your consciousness and soul in existence and the version of you who died CAN NOT know that it died. Matter can only be arranged in a finite number of different ways and if the universe is indeed spatially infinite there will be an infinite number of exact copies of you, me, everybody else, this Earth, our Milky way Galaxy and our observable universe.

did a robert own that house before your family did? or did you never try to investigate?
My son at 4 dead pan serious told the handyman that there was a body behind our couch. I was so very glad our handyman knew our kid likes to tell tall tales. Anyone else and FBI would have been banging down our door.
As an art historian, I really appreciated and actually lol'd at the "we don't need Jackson Pollock reincarnated" statement.
Nor would we want Sidney Nolan back again somehow.
Amen. I'm no art historian, but I do know garbage when I see it. Cheers!
I love Jackson Pollack's paintings.
@@shrimpflea I like a few of his paintings. "The Deep" is one of my favorites of his. I just love how divided the art world is with regards to him and his works.
@@shrimpflea me too!
The 7 Types of Twins:
1. Monozygotic: 1 egg, 1 sperm and the blastocyst split sometime between fertilization and day 6. This twins are identical in nearly every way. They will have different finger prints and have had different "switches" flipped in utero post-split that will inform their identities.
-- Monozygotic Mirror-Image: 1 egg, 1 sperm and the blastocyst splits sometime between day 7 and day 12 post fertilization. This gives the blastocyst enough time to have determined a left side and a right side. Their hair will part on different sides, they'll have different dominant hands, eyes, and feet... freckles, birth marks, and moles will also mirror each other. Anecdotally, these individuals will also have mirrored preferences.
*it should be noted that Monozygotic Twins can have different sexual orientations and other defining characteristics one might suspect should also be identical.* These features of anyone's identity are formed later in the gestational process which is why you can have very identical individuals with markedly key differences, whether they were raised together, or not. There have been some fascinating twin studies done on twins that had been split up at birth as well as twins raised together. It's fascinating stuff.
2. Dizygotic: 2 eggs, 2 sperm. Fraternal twins. As identical as regular siblings but having shared a uterus, they often have an exceptionally close bond. They may even look like identical twins. Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashely Olsen are actually fraternal twins. It's also wholly possible for dizygotic twins to have different fathers. This has its own special term: Hetereopaternal Superfecundation. This can occur intentionally with medical intervention and is not unheard of in the LGBTQ+ community but it can also just happen when a woman has intercourse with multiple partners within a 72hr window of ovulation.
3. Semi-Identical Twins: 1 egg, 2 sperm. In theory, this is possible. The same egg is fertilized by two sperm and the resulting triploid splits into twins who have identical contributing DNA from the mother but have different contributions from the father. There was a paper written in 2006 in the Journal of Human Genetics about a set of twins who'd been identified as such but no other set has since been identified to my knowledge. It's also possible that this type of twinning is actually the type mentioned next. In my opinion, it's possible that the identical twins mentioned by Katie as having different skin tones, hair color, or eye color are actually examples of Semi-Identical Twins or what's listed below.
4. Polar Body Twins: 1 egg, 2 sperm. This is ONLY a theory based on something that we do know happens in the female body and there are currently no known cases of this actually happening. This is different from Semi-Identical Twins because the egg splits BEFORE fertilization occurs. We know its possible for the egg to split prior to fertilization, as if cleaving off excess, creating what is called a polar body. What is not known is whether there would be enough DNA or fluid in the polar body to support fertilization and growth of a blastocyst and eventual embryo or fetus.
5: Conjoined Twins: 1 egg, 1 sperm and the blastocyst never fully splits resulting in two individuals who share some level of physical structure with each other. Conjoined Twins are separate, fully functioning individual minds and heads inhabiting two bodies that only partially split. You can google this topic to your heart's content.
6: Parasitic Twins: 1 egg, 1 sperm and the blastocyst failed to split fully and one twin stopped developing for one reason or another or the blastocyst fully split and then was partially reabsorbed. The parasitic twin relies on the body of the twin who continued to develop to exist and survive. Parasitic twins don't develop more than a rudimentary brain stem, if they develop that, even though they may develop a face. Often times though a parasitic twin presents as extra limbs protruding from weird places on the body or as a fetus in fetu. (You can google that)
7. Chimeric Twins: 2 eggs, 2 sperm that results in one human being. How? What? Yeah, its super cool. You would generally expect for 2 eggs and 2 sperm to result in two blastocysts that in normal circumstances would develop into dizygotic twins. In the case of chimeric twins, the single infant is its own twin with different parts of the body coded by one of two complete sets of DNA. The second blastocyst is fully absorbed by the first. The resulting embryo and eventual fetus will develop without complication into a healthy baby. The first chimeras we were able to identify happened to outwardly express the genetic code for both twins, presenting a checkboard type pattern on the skin, over the entirety of the body. Its theorized that many more chimeric individuals exist though and that they simply show no outward signs of carrying two complete sets of DNA. This was first brought to the international stage with the custody battle of a UK woman who, while giving birth to her children, would not genetically their mother according to hair, saliva, and blood tests. She was genetically their aunt. When she ended up needing a biopsy done, they decided to run genetic sequencing on the liver tissue as well and discovered that the liver tissue did indeed match her children as being 100% that of their mother. With increasing numbers of the global population doing at home DNA test kits for curiosity and recreational purposes, it will not be surprising if we discover even more chimeras in the world.
Thank you for this! I knew of one egg two sperm being a thing, though I thought there might've been a second ever set of twins documented and not just one? Either way, still a really neat thing to learn! And the other types of twins are fun trivia as well!
fascinating!.
Thanks for the knowledge
One other case I heard of a few years ago was a male child born with some asymmetry to his body. Testing showed that genetically he had male and female cells, however the female cell were a match to his mother. Somehow the male embryo had fused with some of the mother's diploid cells and continued to grow.
The child only lived for around three or four years as far as I can remember. I heard about this around 1999 so it happened some time prior to that.
@@peterjf7723 so maybe the blastocyst fused back with a polar body. Who knows. Definitely a weird genetic quirk.
As an art teacher, while I understand the value of Jackson Pollock's work in the progression of abstract art, he was a massive tool who definitely does not need to be reincarnated.
Once when my youngest son was three, we drove past a cemetery and he yelled out “I used to live there!” and he just looked at me smiling like waiting for me to agree. I was freaked out about it and I told my mom…she told me that five generations of my family are buried there. Needless to say I was no less freaked out.
That's funny, BUT, I've heard that one before, and it wasn't you who said it, I believe it was a movie or tv show! Either that or I'm psychic! 😏😒🙄
Doing Dorothy Eady in regard to reincarnation would've been more fun. She supposedly regained the memories of her past life as an ancient Egyptian priestess after a near fatal fall. She went on to become a renowned Egyptologist. I still don't believe in reincarnation but I give her a lot of credit for her contribution to Egyptology.
Kevin's got this one in the pipeline!
@@katywatson4940 Coolness. 😃
I watched a Mr.Ballen video about that. Crazy she knew where shit was in the Egyptian complex.
@@katywatson4940 that's so exciting! I can't wait to see Simon's reaction.
@@dapje2002 thank you, I'm always unsure how to spell it.
I was a school teacher for a family that lost a son in a car crash. They kept images of the car crash site, like framed them and put them in the house as a 'memorial' and it really messed their other son up where he was having nightmares etc but they wouldn't take the pictures down. I only know because the school was part of the investigation into allegations of child abuse etc (which turned out not technically to be abuse but idk having those pictures up isn't great) so yes people definitely grieve in very very strange ways, and definitely grieve in ways that can unintentionally cause harm to their still living children.
yea it's nuts. this one kid i knew's parents framed his suic--- note. freaky stuff.
Only a small note, but it's actually true that (some types of) twins run in families. Identical twins are purely random, but there are genes that increase the likelihood of conceiving dizygotic (fraternal) twins; it has something to do with increasing the likelihood that the person releases multiple eggs during ovulation. It doesn't account for a huge percentage of twins, but it certainly can play a role for some families.
Biochemist here, and was just coming down to the comments to say this! Yes, some families do have more fraternal twins due to a genetic predisposition
Yeah That's the case in my family too! Our parents always told us that it always skips 1 generation, probably nonsense, but out grandmother had 2 twin brothers and both her children (regular siblings) ended up having dizygotic twins
This is something people have known for thousands of years actually; it's why twinning in domesticated breeds of goats and sheep is far more common than in their wild ancestors. The ancient nomadic people paid close enough attention to which sire/dam pairings produced twins and purposely repeated those, slaughtering more of the single-offspring parents, thus increasing the twinning gene in the pool.
I always thought twins was a hereditary/ genetic thing and twins outside of that family line was the unusual situation
I came to the comments to say the same thing!
It doesn't seem to be mentioned yet, but there is another type of identical twins called "mirror twins". Where-in they are identical with the exception that one seems to be a right/left swap of the other. This impacts things like right/left handedness, natural hair part, and so-on.
He confused himself when he looked it up cause twins can in fact come from two separate sperm and have different fathers and now he thinks that they can't
Semi identical twins too in rare cases, they come from the same egg but it's fertilised by 2 sperm, the zygote splits and like identical twins they share the same placenta, but have different dna - they only share the dna from their mother's genes. It's fascinating (and a fairly new discovery).

@@collinparker2674 I used to believe that as a child, it freaked me out not knowing if Id died or not LOL... I talked to my Dad about it and he asked me why would it matter even if it was true. I couldnt decide why it mattered, I still felt it did; I was less anxious about it after though.
Simon, look into the boy, James Leininger, who believed he was the reincarnation of a pilot who died in wwii. I would love to hear your take on this story.
that's the one I actually think is creepy and not easily explainable
Yeah that’s the story that comes to mind for me when I think of possible reincarnation cases!
YES! I just posted a vague description of this as well....thought it was odd I didnt see anyone (only looking at first handful of posts) posting about it so commented about it only to look a bit more and find someone else brought it up. Nothing I've heard holds anything to some sort of reincarnation outcome when compared to this story.
@@GermLocloads of stories where children could not possibly know about the life of the other person...
I work in Family psychology and you are VERY correct in how heavily kids are influenced by environmental cues. Much of this is prior to the age of 4, when they then begin to operate on a more conscious level.
There have been a few intriguing cases of ‘past memories’, but I wouldn’t waste time with memories within a family.
As my kids have grown, it amazes me how much they remember from early childhood. People talk around kids without realizing they understand the conversation.
18:52 - the “and mean!“ clip made me literally laugh out loud. Wonderful editing Jen 👌🏼

Couldn't the fear of cars easily be explained away by the assumption that their parents could have instilled that fear through their actions/choices/reactions?
My thoughts too. No one would blame the parents or brothers for being extra nervous around cars with the younger daughters after losing the older daughters in such a traumatic manner. But that's going to train the girls to be scared of cars.
I believe in the Law of Conservation of Energy: energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. I think of this as a kind of reincarnation, in that our energy and atoms go towards growing plants and those plants can feed animals and so on ultimately contributing to creating new life.
it's the circle ... the circle of life 🎶
I hope I reincarnate as a coffee plant some day.
I have two siblings, separated in age by 8 years with similar looking birth marks in the same location. So it doesn't surprise me even a little bit that one of the younger sisters could have an "identical" birth mark.
Some birthmarks can be passed from generation to generation.
I actually did a "Past Life Hypnosis" thing once, and I was literally just an old hermit with a scraggly dog named Benny.
I'm not saying I 100% believe in it; but yeah, some people that "see past lives" were just some dude.
Didn't you get told anything else except the old hermit thing? The hermit must have done stuff before becoming one
@@metal4lifewp Nope, it was just a 5 minute slice-of-life thing. I was walking on the beach with my dog, and I finally got back to my shitty little shack, took a drink of whiskey, and looked in the mirror. I had red hair and looked very old and rough.
Then, like waking up from a dream, I thought: wait, I'm not sure this is still me. Then I had a brief half-second remembrance of my "death" and came back to the room I was in.
@@stevem.o.1185 I didn't even have a hypnosis session or anything like that to figure out I was apparently one of my great uncles, who's estate turned into state property during the 1930s. I don't remember much of what I said, but my dad was there and remembered what I said nearly word for word about the property, and history of that bit of the land
Sounds fun, I'd like to try that.
@RUclips loves animal abuse hates the truth FWIW I didn't pay any money, and no one told me anything. This was with my grandmother, and these were all simply things I saw behind my eyelids, like a dream.
I also have a very vivid dream life and get full CEV's with microdoses of mushrooms, so I'm probably very susceptible to suggestions and hypnosis. But no, it's not something I would pay for, lol.
Two things spring to mind while watching this video: my father used to say "Little jars have big ears" and he meant that children take in all the information floating around them when nobody is aware that the children are even within hearing distance. So, in a family that suffered such a tragedy as losing two children, it is very unlikely that the two lost children were never mentioned at all by anybody ever with the twins present or not. Grandmothers like to reminisce and theirs might very well have said stuff like "oh my, your big sister used to ...... just like you" and stuff like that, which she probably would have said if the big sister had still been alive. I remember my mother and grandmother frequently commenting on family traits and shared preferences they noticed in us children compared to other family members. The second thing is, what about photographs? if there were any photos of the family, then the twins would definitely have wanted to know who were the people in them and likely they would have been told along with where everyone was.
I agree. My mother's oldest sister would sit under the table while their grandmother and her friends would quilt (old-time quilting bee!), and would hear all kinds of wild gossip, which she later told her siblings. The adults would then be like, "Where did you hear this stuff?" It's like the old ladies knew she was there, but out of sight, out of mind basically.
Mad respect to Jackson Pollock for running the biggest art scam of all time. He somehow managed to convince tons of people that random paint thrown on a canvas is high art and worth millions.
@@collinparker2674 cool story bro
R u... Dumb? Is this legit how you think this happened? He was a bad dude but this is a very stupid statement.
he's not on his own eith, Tracey Emin, Damian Hurst for more examples. So long as there are gullible rich people who want bragging rights and believe the drivel that validates any shite as art then you'll always have talentless art school graduates ready to cash in
What did picasso do?
I can already hear Simon saying "Nooo, they weren't." And something about occam's razor or not believing things that can't be proven.😂😂
Creepiest thing one of my kids said. She was nearly 2 and we were expecting out second child. About 6pm my daughter suddenly said "coming today", my wife asked "what's coming today" she looked up and said "the baby". An hour later contractions started, 11:55 pm our second daughter was born 🤣
(I am not suggesting it was a psychic prediction, and she has never said anything like it since, but it is a fun story)
in 7th grade (12 years old) we were given an assignment by the English teacher to write a description of how to hold a pen (between my 2nd and 3rd finger). I carefully examined my own writing hand and described what I saw because this is what I thought the assignment was. When it was my turn to read my description outloud, the teacher stopped me and said, "That's not correct." Wait, what? How would she know how I hold a pen? She proceeded to describe a way to hold a pen that was completely foreign to me (between the 3rd and 4th finger), that I'd NEVER seen before, that I'd not been taught and had never been asked to switch to by any grade school teacher. I'm still dumbfounded to this day and I was in 7th grade in 79.
I'm happy that you mentioned that kids are smarter then some people think! While there are exceptions most kids can generally pick up on things if they are exposed to certain reactions. Personal example: I figured out that one of my cousins was adopted (well kinda his dad had married my aunt) based on how he was talked about & treated (most of the family were dicks to him). No one ever said it in front of us kids but I & some other cousins figured it out. When I was in middle school my aunt decided I was old enough to know the truth & was shocked that I already knew & assumed my mom had told me. She still doesn't believe that I figured it out on my own.
I honestly don't understand why would people adopt a child and treat him poorly. Doesn't adoption mean you actually want the child? You can't just accidentally adopt a kid.
@@makinka0cp The dad got custody of him in the divorce from his previous marriage & the information I've received over the years is that neither parent wanted him. Also it was more so my grandparents & other aunts/uncles who treated him poorly.
So here's a wholesome, kids are smarter than you think story. At four years old I figured out Santa wasn't real because my dad and Santa were never in the same room and my dad was too mundane to be a magical being. Fun fact in his retirement my dad has become a make a wish Santa which might actually be one of the most magical things he could do.
@@makinka0cp no. It just means you had to go through more effort to abuse something.
If you want to hear a reincarnation story where the child has all kinds of knowledge that she couldn't possibly have in any other way, read about Dorothy Eady. Simon should do an episode on her! I'd be super interested in hearing his take on her.
watch this space - Kevin's already done one!

Grief does a lot to your mind. I recently lost my 7 month old son. Several months later I bought a kitten to cheer up my older son. Kitten happened to have a mellow and cheerful character just as my deceased son. And I had a thought - maybe the kitten is his incarnation. Of course I didn't think it could be real, as I am actually an atheist and quite a sceptic. But there is such a great sadness because of this huge loss I had. I so so wanted for my younger son to experience life, to be here, that I even had this short ridiculous thought of my kitten being the incarnation of my baby.
I am so sorry for your loss.
The loss of a child does a serious amount of damage. I lost my 5-year-old son in 2008 and still struggle. While I agree that your son was not reincarnated a kitten, I would likely have grabbed onto that myself. I'm so very sorry that you're on the child loss road also - it's a difficult one to navigate.
I've read a story (maybe a creepypasta) where the concept was that all of life that ever lived on earth was *the same one soul* that was reincarnated over and over again in an impossibly entangled yarnball of reincarnations and time-travels
I remember that creepypasta, guy died and was having the meaning of life explained by “god” before they were sent back to live another existence. Once they’d lived the life of every human to ever live they’d essentially have gained the knowledge or whatever to become a god themself.
Still think about that from time to time.
@@TheOriginalCFA1979 Yes, that's the one! Fascinating concept
I think we’re all fragments of a universal consciousness just experiencing itself.
I love the format of this channel. Simon not reading the script ahead of time actually makes for some funny moments and so don't switch it up. :) Keep up the great work!

I saw the title and could hear his signature, "yeah but they weren't were they? Because it's not real!" All the way here in St Louis 🤣🤣🤣
All in good fun, we love fact boi here
Thank you Katie and Jen! A fantastic episode :). Simon's reactions to supernatural/superstitious topics always makes me smile.
In our family tree we have several instances of twins going back as far as we could go. Coincidentally, quite a few of the sets of twins had the same birth date as other sets. Strange, but in no way supernatural.
No it's ghost's work that I have the same birthday as my brother
My twin and I were born on my sister’s 6th birthday in September. My two youngest sons share a birthday 3 years apart. 4 of my 5 kids were born in September. Go back 9 months… really easy to figure it out.

I have actually heard boring past lives, or at least one. I don’t believe it anyway, but my mom once did one of those past life regression things, and her alleged past life was as a German man in what she thought was the early 1900s and the only clear image she said she had was of watching her two sons walk up the pathway and coming in the house.
I still don’t really believe it, but at least her past life is mundane and realistic lol
I had one where I was a random lieutenant in the Mexican American War and got shot in the head. Was 9 and hadn't even learned about that yet. Not sure what it meant was just vivid and weird. And mundane except for waking up from a head shot.
I always find it weird how some people seem to let that kind of stuff go to their heads. Like, even if you were some important emperor or high priestess or whatever in your past life, that doesn't change what you are now.
@@trishapellis : You might carry yourself differently or strive to actually achieve more in your current life. I know I would if I found out I was a leader or something great like that.
@@Charles_Anthony My thought on that is, why? If you want to be something great, strive and work to be something great. If you don't do the striving before finding out you were some kind of powerful person in a past life, why would you change that after finding out?
I mean I don't care about power, fame or wealth, so maybe I'm just the wrong target audience. But I would assume if a person both wanted one of those things and was also willing to put in the work, they would start putting in the work before they were told they used to be a pharaoh. What if you "uncover your past lives" hoping there's a pharaoh in there to... I don't know, give you hope? And all that turns up is a random shepherd who died of cholera, a random baker's wife who died in childbirth, and a cow that got eaten after 5 years of life? What's wrong with the idea that this is going to be your first life where you actually achieve something?
@@als3022 I used to have a reoccurring nightmare about hiding for my life in a barrel between ages 6-11. Being in some sort of arched stone walled room full of people and then panic breaks out and I hide in a barrel. This was before I really understood anything about European architecture or WW2. Nothing like this where I grew up in Canada. It seemed like a weird spot. Then when I travelled in Germany at 19 we went to a beer tasting in an underground cellar bar and it gave me the creepiest déjà Vu back to the dream. I could not relax in there. I’m sure it’s Apophenia - creating meaning in unrelated things but man is it weird knowing things I can’t consciously explain how I know or recognize or predict. Malcomb Gladwell talks about in the book “Blink” that we might pick up on things subconsciously which gives us unexplained feelings. Like when a soldier would typically turn left but instinctually gets a bad feeling about that direction and goes the other way, saving their life. Did he subconsciously pick up information that made one direction “feel” like a bad idea without knowing?
I'd love to see an episode on the Denver International Airport conspiracies.
Those murals are messed up beyond belief.
I have real bad depression and anxiety so the idea of an after life of any kind is terrifying to me. I'm looking forward to just ceasing to exist when i die so I can finally rest because being mentally ill is horrible and I just want it to finally be over when I die.
I was having a bad night but for some reason I'm really relieved to see that as of a few hours ago, I can probably assume that Simon is doing well and just chilling. ait's not like I thought he was sick or dead or anything. It's just pleasant knowing he's still just at work and stuff
Pollock's art was more of a commentary on art at the time. He would 100% of agreed with you which makes that introductory statement extra funny!
Wasn't there some case with a boy who solved a murder because he apparently remembered being murdered in a previous life? I think he showed where the body was and even the murder weapon, another episode maybe?
I believe that there might be reincarnation. But the idea that you remember your past life is ridiculous. We barely remember our own life, and the idea that memories transfer from a different body seems ridiculous to me.
TOTALLY agree with the kids picking stuff up the family wouldn't think they would know. I've seen it in action with some kids I knew. Children are far more observant then they usually receive credit for. Also with them "looking alike" and all compared to the older sisters... it's all in the genetics. On my mom's side of the family, her and her siblings look almost nothing alike. However, on my dad's side of the family the genes are so dominant that not only do all his siblings and him look just alike, a lot of my cousins and I have similar traits. One of my younger cousins and I are difficult to tell apart in older photos where we are the same age at the time of the photo and people often think she is my younger sister.
There actually are a very few reported cases of "semi-identical" twins, where the twins are from a single egg splits and is fertilized by two sperm (apparently there are two types of this, one where it splits first and then is fertilized, and one where it is fertilized first and so splits).
The egg is always fertilized first and the splits. Semi-identical twins may be the result one egg being fertilized by two sperm and then splitting the triploid that forms. If this has happened, its only happened once to our knowledge and even then, most scientists are skeptical. The level of identicalness depends on when the egg splits after fertilization. Most monozygotic or identical twins split during the first 7 days after fertilization. It is theorized that mirror twins, the literal mirror each other from the part in their hair to the dominance of their hands/eyes/feet to where freckles, moles, and birth marks may exist split late... somewhere between the 7th and 12th day after fertilization. This extra time means the blastocyst has already developed and left side and a right side. Anecdotally, mirror image twins also have mirrored preferences too. Perhaps the coolest form of twins are chimeric twins. This is when one blastocyst absorbs another blastocyst sometime during the first 12 days after fertilization before implantation has occurred. This leads to different parts of a single human body having different DNA. Sometimes this is visible in the form of a checkerboard like pattern on the skin but more commonly, it can only be proven through genetic testing. There's a pretty famous case of a woman having to fight for custody of her kids because the DNA of her saliva and blood was genetically incompatible with that of her children. But cells from some of her internal organs were compatible. Chimeras are their own twins. The woman is at once her childrens' mother and aunt.
Woah, big brain was kinda right 😁
that's simply not possible
I'm pretty sure it's the zygote that splits in all cases, it's utterly wild 2 sperm can fertilise the same egg and create identical twins who aren't identical (presumably this could happen with 2 different fathers, that would be fun in court, not).
Our universe is spatially infinite and everybody has an infinite number of incarnations across space. So if you get killed by jumping off a building a copy of you who jumps off the exact same building did not get killed survives even through it might be permanently injured by surviving. So from your own point of view you can never die because there if there is a very slight chance of survival you will survive from your point of view. Only version of you who lives keeps your consciousness and soul in existence and the version of you who died CAN NOT know that it died. Matter can only be arranged in a finite number of different ways and if the universe is indeed spatially infinite there will be an infinite number of exact copies of you, me, everybody else, this Earth, our Milky way Galaxy and our observable universe.

Without listening to the theories yet, I would say that as sad as it is my theory is that the parents talked to the kids as their form of grief therapy. So when it seemed like the twins 'knew' what happened to their 'past' lives, it was because the parents told them frequently what had happened.
i remember an episode of the Twilight Zone where the main character was a regression hypnotherapist who specialized in helping other people recall things about past lives that effected their current ones but had never managed to remember any of her own. Her big dream was how much better the world would be if everyone remembered everything from one life to the next and how much better humanity could be.
Then she wakes up in a world where she is the only person with no knowledge of previous lives. The world is a wreck and people who drew the short straw on this life are choosing to just die and try again. She ends up doing the exact opposite of what she did before using hypnosis to block peoples memories of past lives so that this is the one they care about and want to live for.
To me this said all there needed to be said about the idea of reincarnation. Any idea of living forever is awful to me. This was one of the worst.
I read a story about some monks searching for their reincarnated leader who had lived many lives. When they found the child he said oh not again, do you have any of idea how boring it is to keep being a monk in the same place lifetime after lifetime.
I used to have a reoccurring nightmare about hiding for my life in a barrel between ages 6-11. Being in some sort of arched stone walled room full of people and then panic breaks out and I hide in a barrel. This was before I really understood anything about European architecture or WW2. Nothing like this where I grew up in Canada. It seemed like a weird spot. Then when I travelled in Germany at 19 we went to a beer tasting in an underground cellar bar and it gave me the creepiest déjà Vu back to the dream. I could not relax in there. I’m sure it’s Apophenia - creating meaning in unrelated things but man is it weird.
I love the unbiased way Simon delivers his stories.

Weird stuff that kids say continued..
When my very bright and precocious girl was 2, nearly 3, she ran up to me one day and said in a casual voice, “Mummy, a long time ago, before I was born, I used to be an old lady and I lived in Ireland. It was very cold and I was hungry.”
Then she ran off and went back to playing.
I do not believe in reincarnation or anything remotely mystical but I was, well, surprised.
She was always listening to adults talk around her and somehow came up with this. I don’t remember telling her about Ireland, or famine or anything like that, but I know she must have heard this somewhere.
I used to refer to her as “the baby who knew too much”.
She’s all grown up now, and still knows everything.
It's a tragic case, because those girls were never allowed their own personalities. They were brought up as replacements for the dead girls.
it was the grandmother. she probably talked to the girls about their deceased siblings and told them stories about them. with similarities in physical appearances for one of the sisters, its possible the grandmother might have believed they were the sisters come back.
I would totally love to be reincarnated as a long living tree.
Play Fallout 3 and go say hi to Harold :)
How about becoming a clonal grove like Pando, a grove of quaking aspen in Utah's Fishlake National Forest.
The trees in are genetically identical and connected by their roots.
The individual trunks only live up to 100 or 150 years, but new trunks grow from the roots. Scientists estimate Pando is at least 80,000 years old.
And become a wooden legged pirate captain.
@@peterjf7723 I did not know that! That was neat. I'd like being one of those.
We'd all most likely end up being a tree grown for logging.
So I'm atheist and highly questioning on what I believe with the possibility of genetic memory, past lives, and something new entirely now that scientists have quantum entangled a tardigrade. I remember seeing another study that showed genetic memory is possible as well. All things considered I think we are on the verge of a monumental discovery about human consciousness.
Yup. I love Simon, but his skepticism might get the best of him.
Or where re a parent or child knows something has happened to the other, even if on the other side of the planet.
Maybe some type of biological entanglement.
Genetic memory is something that has been seen in animals, but aside from major phobias, like those to snakes and other things that can unalive you, I've never seen it suggested that humans experience this. Or at least not so quickly. If it does exist, it would most likely take several generations before something showed itself.
I’ve read multiple stories of people who have got organ transplants suddenly liking or hating food they didn’t before. And it lines up with the donor. I think memory is certainly more complex than we realize. Shit look at salmon spawning
Yeah. My kid says "when I was a mom and you were a kid." And stuff like that all the time. Ihave two. They're definitely not reincarnations.
my sister had one of her 2nd grade students tell her "i was there when the monsters were created"
My mom and I were literally just watching a show on reincarnation last night, and we also wondered why all these "past lives" people lived were only ever famous people
Because a lot of people who do these cons don’t actually believe in reincarnation or understand any of the fundamentals behind it, they just want to get famous.
I’m still waiting for a reincarnation of like. The catholicized Aphrodite or Odin or some shit
100k subscriptions ! Congrats Simon.
Simon, there's this story (/"legend") about a carpenter who built a staircase for some nuns and no one can figure out how he built it (it was like overnight or something) perhaps this would be a good topic to decode! Really enjoying everything, thanks for the content!
I once built a staircase in like 20 min. It was only 4 stairs but like we kinda needed them. *jazz hands*
These are Simon's best videos
Can you please explain the one kid telling the other "there's blood coming out of your eyes" and "this is where the car hit you?" Cuz I get chills just writing that and you can't leave that stone unturned
I have a dog who is remarkably similar to her great grandmother. Same markings. Same personality traits. They even do some of the same mischievous things. On the unusual side of things for a collie, who are generally looking to please people. Different coat types, and size are the main differences. Genetic influences are amazingly strong.
Children are always "on"; anything said within their hearing will go in and stick, and may come out at unexpected times.
Jackson Pollock (and most other fine art tbh) is so expensive because it's straight up money laundering
There's also the subconscious as well, they treated the original twins a certain way and it became muscle memory to them so it's reasonable to believe that they did some of the same things with the newer set of twins due to the similarities that helped them to act the way the original twins did due to shared experiences
The way a person holds a pen can definitely be linked to genetics. Plenty of former schoolchildren who were taught the triangle grip of holding a pen still can't do it. (It's generally a fountain pen thing to have been taught the triangle grip.)
However, that's the way most people seem to hold pens, and yes, Simon, basically you demonstrated that you have a triangle grip. Pretty normal. 😁
All I know is I got yell at. A LOT. for being left handed. There were a few older ladies that would tell me it was hard not to tie my hand behind my back to force me to write right handed because thats what they used to do. - Austin Texas 1990s.
@@Loralanthalas People are stupid. My ex mother-in-law dealt with that. She's actually left-handed, but writes right-handed as a result of school in the 1950s.
@@paulherman5822 yeah I can believe it. Pure vehemence is the only word I can describe it as. They REALLY truly thought it was evil. People are dumb.
@@Loralanthalas I'm one of "them fountain pen peeple" and I think, at least for an adult, triangle grips to almost force you to hold a pen a certain way is still stupidly following the thoughts of the past. Why I really don't understand why some people are obsessed with the Lamy Safari design. A basic round grip that was used for over 100 years and still on most anything not "for students" works best, in my opinion. If you can hold a pen and write with it, you're doing it right. 😉 (And they can work for left handers as well. There's ways. Even if you hold a pen like your hand was mangled. 😁) Even those who love a different Lamy with a round grip. (I personally despise the Bauhaus design in anything.)
@@Loralanthalasin Scotland back in the 1940s/50s, they'd tie a left hander's left hand behind their back and force them to learn to write with their right hands 😮
Me, a geneticist: Dizygotic twins are genetic because the mother releases two eggs, which is an uncommon phenomenon. Where monozygotic twins are more random.
I've not heard the story about the twins but I've heard about this phenomenon before and read several articles about children that Jim Tucker, who is a psychiatrist who's work is based on Dr Stevenson, had interviewed. He helped many of them find the people they were claiming to be and many of the children had knoledge of places or events in places far from and not related to their families. The children were usually 3-6 years old and the people they would have memories from usually died between 25-35 (or close to that range) from sudden or terrible events. While I cant say whether or not it's real, Stevenson studied over 2000 cases of these types of events. I find it all fascinating.

Thank you Simon for saying the quiet part out loud. Seriously, WTF is the deal with Jackson Pollock?!? People are nucking futs for paying millions for randomly splattered paint.
Great vid, love this series.
17:45 Yes, Simon! Apply that to all these podcasts.
Simon: does an entire biographics video on Jackson Pollock
also Simon: we dont need any more Jackson Pollock
I remember hearing this story before somewhere
This is just terribly, terribly sad and 'big brain' Simon is bang on. Simon is also bang on about most reincarnated people being interesting or famous rather than the majority who are normal and mundane.
The parents would have passed information on inadvertently (children pick up verbal and non-verbal cues) and then have seen things in the children that reinforced their beliefs, particularly the father.
Remember that the parents would have formed idealised (so not entirely accurate or true) memories of their dead children. The 'reincarnated' children's behaviour that reinforced those memories would be highlighted whereas anything that didn't fit the memories would be overlooked.
This must be the only channel dealing with mysteries that has the chutzpah to open with eight minutes of just ridiculing the entire concept of reincarnation. Just delightful, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Simon and team, you hit 100K!
Check out the story of Shanti Devi. That's a much more compelling case of reincarnation.
Also, there's a Sci Show episode on the many varieties of twins. And there's definitely a genetic aspect to twinning. There's a region in West Africa where more twins are born than anywhere else.
Suggestion: The Phoenix Lights. A series of widely seen UFO's that were observed in the skies of Arizona, Nevada and the Mexican state of Sonora on the night of March 13, 1997.

You don't?
Doesn't everyone?
You know, it has been pointed out that throughout Indian history, there have been defenses of the caste system, but not past lives. Defenses of the caste system often appear to be refuting arguments against it, suggesting that it was always controversial. But past lives and reincarnation was just taken for granted. There was no need to defend the concept, as no one argued with it.
1 - because even religiously justified, the caste system makes no sense.
2 - some of the folk religions (pardon the use of ‘folk’ can’t come up with a better substitute atm) that ended up combining to become Hinduism probably didn’t have the caste system in the first place, and
3 - reincarnation, in the way Hinduism describes, is a really beautiful concept-it’s an eloquent way to describe something very frightening: death.
Also, as an Environmental Scientist (granted, Climatology, but I took a lot of bio conservation courses) I’ve always felt reincarnation is probably the closest to scientific accuracy-people die, they decompose and their matter become plants. The plants die when they’re eaten, and their ‘life force’ cycles for a bit, but eventually (by means of probability and eventuality) the cycle ends when a pregnant animal eats and contributes the energy from food into the development of new young, which again can cycle via food for people or other animals, etc.
Everything in the universe is a cycle-energy, matter, nutrients, elements. Why would life be any different?

So the holding the pencil thing, I have a rare brain deformity, Arnold Chiari Malformation, and one of the more annoying but simple symptoms is that most of us hold our pens/pencils differently than what is considered the standard. When I was in 3rd grade before I knew I had the brain deformity I got in trouble every day for not holding my pencil correctly. So yes there is a large genetic/biological/neurological component to holding your pencil.
Wait. So how do you hold it? Because I've suspected I might have Chiari, and my mother used to try to correct the way I held my pen, but I never realized the two were possibly linked.
@@skyefirenails one of the main symptoms is simple motor skills like holding a pen/pencil and tying shoes. I hold it with my thumb up, pencil resting between middle and index finger. My pointer finger is usually resting on the pencil as well but it doesn't need to. My middle finger and index finger are at the writing end of the pencil. My pointer finger rest a little higher up. The eraser end tend to be up near my thumb. I am also right handed, though before my deformity symptoms got really bad I was ambidextrous. I literally can not figure out with coordination how to not hold it like that. Some people can hold it different ways but the main thing is the thumb being up while holding the pencil is the common Chiari thing based on the people with Chiari I have talked to and what one neuro-surgeon told me.
Wish I could post a picture of how I hold it. I don't always explain things well
@@fatenabu1 no, I understand what you mean. I don't do that, I have a modified "triangle" grip, and while I do sometimes hold my pen or pencil between my index and middle finger, my thumb is never up. I know a lot about many different headache/Neuro issues, mostly because I have several, but I never knew that about Chiari. Thank you for educating me!
@@skyefirenails The horrible thing about Chiari, there are over 100 symptoms, some common some not common but you can have any symptoms at anytime in any combination or some people have none but still have the deformity.
I recommend an MRI with contrast, one laying down and one upright. Upright MRIs are super weird though cause you are strapped to a bed that is vertical. It is done to show if you have any issues with your head being too heavy for your neck and pinching etc.
Also for some people symptoms are progressive and get worse as you age.
@@fatenabu1 yeah, I tried to get my neurologist to order an MRI like that for me, but she doesn't think I have it. I wasn't diagnosed with it as a child, but I don't think it was very noticeable then. I have Ehlers-Danlos though, and a few years ago my EDS symptoms got really bad, and my headaches changed. Even though I still have chronic migraine and occipital neuralgia, I now also get headaches that are harder to get rid of and include a lot of pain down my neck and spine. I need to look back over my imaging from when I was young to see if there's any possible trace of anything. I have some other symptoms as well, but that's the one at the forefront for me.
I love that you just google stuff! You are my type of people.
Most people hold pens as Simon described, the alternate way is by holding with the index and middle finger, with the nib supported by the ring finger. Fist hold or pinkie support styles are generally done by people with physical or mental disabilities that make holding a writing implement difficult.
Actually, my one dispatcher that I'm friends with says that she remembers her former life, living on the prairie as a pioneer woman, and she remembers dying there about a hundred years ago
There are much better examples of reincarnation. There was a little girl who told her mother that she was a man in her last life and gave his full name. She described his house and the entire family by name. She said he made incense for a living. If I remember correctly, he was from a different country. When the kid was around 8 or 10, they flew to that country to try to find the family. She gave directions to the cab driver to get to his house. She immediately recognized each member of the family and spoke to them like he had never left. The family is one of the last families to hand make incense in that country. She now visits them regularly and his mother says that is definitely her son because she knows little things, no one would possibly know. That little girl has never faltered on any question asked of her. There is another case of a boy who was a pilot in WWI, I believe. He knew his nickname, his hometown and other obscure information including how he died and the type of plane he was flying long before this kid was old enough to read.
Can it be proved that this child wasn’t exposed to information about this man directly or indirectly by parents,parents friends,her friends parents. What she may have read or seen?
Why must you do Keith the bus driver so dirty 😭 😭 😭
When I was a kid, I watched a TV show about miners in the ancient world and heard that they used children sometimes and the next night I had a nightmare about being a child miner in Ancient Greece or Rome, or something like that, it made me super claustrophobic, and after that I believed in reincarnation for a while 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Alternate theory: the spirits of the deceased sisters influenced the twins to the point where the twins couldn’t differentiate themselves from the spirits, until the twins got older and realized they were their own individuals.
GHOSTS, SIMON. *whispers* ghooooooossstsssss…..
my niece quoted a film i was unaware she had seen "My blood will be on your hands" slight shock. till her dad said its from the BFG movie she'd watched
Speaking as something of an artist myself:
JP's more famous works and 'artworks' like them. You can put as much effort and angst in to spattering colour on to a canvass as you like but it still isn't art when the result is no different from what might be caused by accident, carelessness, or vandalism.
The Emperor's new clothes are still the Emperor's new clothes even if the 'tailors' are deluded rather than deliberate charlatans.
PS People, children in particular, are like sponges. Even before they could speak they will have picked up on the grief and hopes of their parents, heard and adsorbed the tale of their dead sisters...
...once you allow for memory being nothing like a recording of events but more like something your brain constructs on the fly when you 'recall' this tragic tale only becomes even more sad. Impressionable tots inadvertently programmed by adults deluded in their grief.
Oh, and it's entirely possible to tell the truth and be completely wrong at the same time - that's called being mistaken or deluded.
Reincarnation? I'm a Christian so I'm bound to think it's technically possible - make of that what you will. But even so it's at most something that only very rarely happens for very specific reasons, not a remotely 'routine' occurrence. You get one shot and you're done.
my mom lost two babies before me and my brother were born. a boy and a girl, and then she gave birth to twins, me and my brother. a lot of people tried to make connections between us and our deceased siblings, but my mom always drew the line. we are our own people, and not our siblings reincarnated.
Dad fed mom yams. 😂. (From your twins video)
I'm a simple man. I see one of Simon's channels put a video out, I click and am happy.
Twins are actually a genetic thing!! if twins run in the family, you're chances of having twins are MUCH higher
My kids are being raised away from their father and the things they do that remind me of him are astounding at times. It's like I'm looking right at him. His father died when he was a baby, and his mother said the things he did that were almost identical to his father were uncanny at times.
It's literally just genetics.
My dad is a bus driver called Keith, Simons description is very accurate.
Turns out, today I didn’t find out! Haha good on ya Simon :D
A classic case of people seeing what they wanted to see. A father grieving and believing in reincarnation. A writer who wants to write a book about reincarnation in children.
as for the comment about jackson pollocks art i used to think it was nonsense as well but after learning a lot more about art history his popularity makes much more sense, at the time abstract art was very new and controversial and that’s why he got so popular as well as warhol, duchamp, and lots of modern artists. That’s not to say I’m a huge fan of pollock, but i respect his willingness to go outside of the box. All these artists made art not necessarily for the art itself but more so to push the boundaries of what art is and to force people to question their definition of art. A big question artists were asking the public was “if an artist makes it does that really make it art?”. another goal in art is to have the viewer have further thoughts and emotions provoked by the piece, so even if you hate it, by those standards it was a successful art piece. As for the price, the more expensive you make a painting, the more valuable people think it is. But in terms of Pollock you wouldn’t really just be buying art but you’d be buying a small piece of the history of modern art.
Love your shows …from Canada!
1) fraternal twins often run in families, as they are associated with extra ovulation which can be genetic. Identical twins are random (although for some reason they are more likely to occur with IVF).
2) there are semi-identical twins Simon! So identical twins happen when one egg splits. USUALLY this happens AFTER it is fertilised, but it can sometimes happen before fertilisation. I think there are currently 2 pairs of semi-identical twins that have been confirmed so far though.
3) I’ve always loved the idea of reincarnation. But I don’t think I could say I believe in it. I generally identify as agnostic, so I am open to religious possibilities, but generally none of them make sense to me (yet?).
4) HOWEVER I do believe that genetics have a higher influence on our behaviour and preferences than we imagine! My eldest LOVED flags, geology, geography and several other things that my Nan loved (she died way before he was born, and we had never suggested he would like those things as neither myself nor my husband are particularly interested)… I think also there were separated identical twins in america(?) who had very similar lives despite living apart and not meeting until they were 30-40?
There was a set of triplets that got separated to study nature v nurture, they were adopted out to different families and the families weren't told they were triplets, all the study stuff was done under the guise of normal appointments with social workers and doctors to check on the children's development. They found each other when two ended up attending the same college in different semesters (so the second one got to campus for the first time and had people recognizing him as his unknown brother) and then the story got picked up by the web or some magazine and the third brother saw it and was like "oh wow they both look a lot like me wtf". Can't remember their names at this time and the study results got sealed in a vault not to be released til like 2050 (the triplets were given access eventually but the study wasn't summarized or collated in a way that made sense so they have no clue what the conclusion might have been). One ended up committing suicide before this and the reason they got access was because the families were sure the birth separation had some major effect on the one that died. More likely answer is he was raised in a poorer family with stricter parents and had less healthy coping mechanisms for life stressors (like the trio splitting up after trying to run a restaurant together). I'm literally remembering more details as I type so sorry this is a mess.

When I was high school age, I attended my sister's college graduation in a city I'd never been to before, and had never paid any geographic attention to the place- other than maybe in a Rand McNally road atlas without much detail... and this was decades before Google Earth existed.
The city certainly did not have a flat, checker-board layout, by any stretch of the imagination. As it developed from a small settlement in the late 18th century, it conformed to the surrounding hills, valleys, rivers & mounains.
For some reason, I seemed to know my way around quite well- especially the older parts of the downtown area.
I actually had a sense that I'd spent a lot of time, and 'Deja Vu' moments were a constant occurrence.
I actually tried to jog whatever memories might exist, but my apparent familiarity with this city seemed to be limited to some streets, buildings and other physical landmarks- as opposed to any people, history or actual experiences.
Some things just cannot be explained.
