Internet spooked after young boy "proves" he is the reincarnation of a dead woman
A five-year-old boy has insisted to his mum that he has lived a past life as a woman named Pam, which has left viewers spooked with his "scary" story.
Five-year-old Luke Ruehlman has claimed that he used to be a woman since he was just two years old.
While his mother, Erika, brushed off his stories as an over-active imagination, his comments became increasingly peculiar as he grew older.
“He’d say, ‘When I was a girl, I had black hair’ or he’d say, ‘I used to have earrings like that when I was a girl’,” Erika told US television network Fox 2.
She also said Luke spoke about a woman called Pam from a young age, although the family didn’t know anyone by that name.
It was one fleeting comment that left Erika gobsmacked.
“I was like, ‘Who is Pam?’,” Erika said.
“That’s when he turned to me and said, ‘Well I was’.
“I said, ‘What do you mean you were?’
“He was like, ‘Well I used to be, but I died and I went up to heaven and I saw God and eventually God pushed me back down.
“When I woke up I was a baby and you named me Luke’.”
Adding to the spine-tingling comments, Luke insisted to his mum that he had died in a fire in Chicago - a city he had never been to.
Erika did some research and discovered that an African-American woman by the name of Pamela Robinson had indeed died after jumping from a window to escape a massive fire in the Illinois city in 1993.
Luke's parents decided to put him to the test, showing him a series of photos of different women.
They were shocked and a little bit spooked when he picked out the correct photo of Pam.
“He goes, ‘Well I don’t recognise anybody. But, I remember when this one was taken’,” his mum said of the moment he pointed at the right image.
Luke’s claim has left the internet spooked, with some calling the story “crazy s***”.
“That’s scary,” one viewer wrote on TikTok.
