8/18/2019 Some Approximate Statistical Data Obtained From a Random Sample of Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation

2/2

It is important to note that, in general, I have assumed the home town where the subject currently resides as theplace of birth and the home town of the previous personality as the place of death. This is because, in majority of

the cases, I was unable to get data about the exact place of births and deaths.

In some cases, wherever possible, if the precise locations of births and deaths were known, I have used those to

calculate the distances.

For instance, let us say that the previous personality was having residence in town “A” and he died in a vehicle

accident and the subject (i.e. the reborn child) has residence in town B, which are, let’s say, 12 kilome tres apart.Now, in such a case, I have assumed distance between place of death and place of rebirth to be 12 kilometres,

although, theoretically, the place of death, that is the place of vehicle accident may be many kilometres awayfrom the town “A”. Therefore, this is only an approximate distance since I was unable to find data about preciselocations of the places of the accidents .

The data above was analyzed by dividing the cases into three categories.

A) If Distance was less than 10 miles , then based on data above, following values of time (in years) wereobtained. 0, 0.04, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1, 1.4, 1.33, 1.6, 4, 4, 7.4 years (Note: 3 days approximated as 0

years, 15 days means 0.04 years, 6 months means 0.5 years and so on).

Average time: 1.71 years

B) If Distance was at least 10 miles , but less than 50 miles , then following values of time (in

years) were obtained.

0.66, 0.75, 0.8, 1, 1.25, 1.4, 1.5, 5, 5, 6, 8.5, 9, 10, 31

Average time : 5.85 years (note: one sample above, the last one, is unusually large, that is 31, which

is severely affecting “average time” value. If we do not take that last sample into account, the “average

time” will be 3.91 years. )

C) If Distance was at least 50 miles, but less than 500 miles, then following values of time (in years) wereobtained. 0.25, 1.4, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9

Average time : 4.24 years

The impression that I got after reading the statistical data above is that, in general, if the child is claiming to havebeen reborn within a few miles (for example, 3 or 7 or even 11 miles), then the “time duration ” ranges from afew months to, may be around 2 or 3 years or so . After that, as the “distance” increases, “time duration” also increases, but slowly, to reach somewhat like a “flat curve”, that is maintaining more or less an average of about 4

to 6 years although the values may vary greatly from one individual case to another.

Also, it is important to note that the sample size here is relatively small (that is 37 children). So, the statisticalresults obtained above may not be accurate. More accurate results may be obtained by using a larger sample size(by using the data from , let’s say, 200 or 300 cases of children). Most of the data above (about “distance ” and“time duration ”) was extracted randomly from the case reports made by Dr. Ian Stevenson and researchersassociated with him. Remaining small amount of data was extracted randomly from cases which were publishedin news websites. All this data was obtained by downloading it from the internet. This study of statistical data

above was made in June 2014.
