The story started with a young boy called Graham and his mother Denise. "Graham was looking out of the car window" recalls Denise, from London, "when he started talking about an airship. He said he was grown up and he had been in an airship. There was a fire and people were screaming, and they had flames coming from them. He said he fell to the ground, then his body shot upwards."
Graham
appeared to be
describing a horrific incident in which he’d died.
"I was stunned to hear these words coming out of my son’s
mouth." says Denise, "It was as though someone else was
speaking. He
was too young to have a conversation but suddenly he was speaking in
proper sentences.
Then he seemed to snap back into baby mode. I
didn’t know Graham knew what an airship was, and I
hadn’t let him watch such horrific images on TV".
"He
mentioned the airship once or twice after that, and if people asked him
to repeat the story, he did so without adding anything to
it.
This convinced me he wasn’t making it up."
Graham
went quiet about what appeared to be his previous life after about the
age of 5 or 6. And then when he was nine, Denise was watching
a film about the fire that destroyed the Hindenburg, a German airship
destroyed in a tragic fire on May 6, 1937 in Lakehurst, New
Jersey USA.
She called Graham into the room. "He ran in and took one look at the
TV," she remembers, "then he said, That’s my dream,
that’s what I see".
Soon after this, in March 1994, Denise recorded a conversation with Graham about the airship in which he remembered more details. Graham said he could remember paper being on fire, falling off the airship, and people jumping out of a hole. Some people spoke in a different language, and some were speaking English. He thought he was about 16.
Denise
contacted a friend who put her in touch with the late Dr. Ian
Stevenson, (Founder of the Division of Perceptual Studies)
whom he knew was researching past lives. Dr. Stevenson came to visit
Graham shortly after his 10th birthday, the
boy’s memories of the experience were fading.
Dr. Stevenson hypnotized Graham to try and get more
information.

During
Graham`s Past Life Regression session
with
Dr. Millett, Graham was able to describe the interior of the
Zeppelin and it`s furnishings, sleeping area and the people in it
socialising including what they were wearing, their mood and how they
appeared on the passenger deck. He gave his opinion of varying
individuals as an on-looker there with them, inter-mixing, observing
and critizising.
He appeared to be a passenger
on the airship, wearing his best clothes and trying to make a good
impression.
He talked about the food that was served through the eyes
of a passenger and the facilities on-board and being able to see the
views below.
He subsequently went on to describe the Hindenburg
catching fire, the structure imploding and quickly becoming engulfed in
yellow-red flames.
