Little Cameron Macaulay was a typical six-year-old, always talking about his mum and family. He liked to draw pictures of his home too - a long single-storey, white house standing in a bay. But it sent shivers down his mum’s spine - because Cameron said it was somewhere they had never been, 160 miles away from where they lived. And he said the mother he was talking about was his “old mum.” Convinced he had lived a previous life Cameron worried his former family would be missing him.

Mum, Norma, contacted the film company and they followed Cameron’s journey to Barra. They had child psychologist Dr Jim Tucker, from Virginia, with them. He specialises in reincarnation and has researched other children like Cameron. When Cameron was told they were going to Barra he was jumping all over the place with excitement. The family flew from Glasgow last February and landed on Cockleshell Bay an hour later
