Sandra Alvarez
Our guest tonight was Sandra Alvarez, producer of The Ghost Inside My Child on the My Lifetime Network channel, aka LMN.
I was absent, attending the annual GallifreyOne convention, which Henry mentioned, and fellow Whovian Kat indicated looking forward to seeing the photos I'd be taking.
They started off with Ceiling Cat Barbara discussing her own interests in reincarnation. Sandra indicated how well received the series has been, though it's a bit tricky to find families of children clearly reincarnated.
She went into that details would match up, but not specific research on the lives the children are recalling. One child recalled being on the Titanic, and the details this four-year-old conveyed, but now 19, those memories had faded. One male five-year-old recalled a former life as a female named Pam who'd died in a fire.
CC recalled one child's recollection of being a background actor in the early days of film, although that story wasn't from this series.
The series is about to start its second season; Sandra spoke of an upcoming story of a son reincarnated of his mother's dead brother.
Sandra pointed out that they simply fly out to the family's place, they'd interview/film the child's story, then the family, and spend a day with the re-created scenes.
Kat pointed out some stories show the children able to converse in a second language which was not their first language. (Just before the second break, Kat also pointed out any strange thumping sounds that might be heard were her dogs who had awakened and where chasing each other about.)
They went into great detail about the boy who had drowned from the Titanic; it was suspected the boy may have been the ship's architect Thomas Anders, who went down with the ship.
One little girl had More Than Just the reincarnation aspect; she could sense/see spirits as well.
It was discussed how with most of the children the memories fade with time. They posited that once their Stories were conveyed, the children were able to proceed with their current lifetimes.
Considering how the family and children are treated with respect, the show has been very well received.
Sandra plugged the casting call for eight more episodes of The Ghost Inside My Child and they can be contacted at mychildstory@yahoo.com (Sandra was assured I'd do up the report so her contact information would be here).
As the show was winding down, having sped by its two hours again, Henry gave Sandra time to provide her contact information, her mychildstory@yahoo.com email (urging people to call Just In Case it works out that they can be utilized), suggesting a search for LMN site to find the The Ghost Inside My Child page (thought it's far easier just to click on the link here...). Kat gave out her paranormal author site, and her huntforghosts.com site at which visitors can peruse her graphic novel. Henry gave out the show's theparanormalview.com site, comically adding that I have "a bunch of" different sites, even mentioning my personal paranormal experiences page on my website. As it was, indeed I was not available to provide the show's various page locations such as my site's hub page, the show's official site, that we're findable on on Facebook, et al.
