Looking to the recent past, we’ve got the case of Ryan Hammond. In 2015, at the age of 10, Ryan made the rounds at news outlets and interviews for swearing that he was Hollywood actor and agent Marty Martyn, who died in 1964. Much like our other cases, Ryan at a young age started talking about needing to return to where he used to live, saying “Mommy, I’m so homesick” again and again, per Reader’s Digest. His mother, Cyndi, said that Ryan was “like a little old man who couldn’t remember all the details of his life. He was so frustrated and sad.” Cyndi decided to show Ryan books about Old Hollywood. When Ryan saw a scene photo from the 1932 movie “Night after Night” he bellowed at the screen, “That guy’s me! The old me!”
NBC News says that Martyn’s Hollywood life involved some typical glamour, sunbathing, fancy cars, going to the beach, etc. While anyone could arguably guess such items, Psi Encyclopedia says that Ryan went into eerily specific, completely correct detail about a full 47 points regarding Martyn’s life, many of which were not widely known. The list includes things like Martyn buying a dog for his daughter at 6 that his daughter didn’t like, having a Black maid, coming across Senator Irving Ives at a specific location in New York City, not letting anyone drive his green car, and much more. Ryan also said that his former address had “rock” in it. Martyn lived at 825 N. Roxbury.
