Descripción

Skylar Neese was sixteen years old when she snuck out of her bedroom window just after midnight to meet her two best friends. She never came home. For months, those same two friends stood beside her grieving parents — searching, crying, passing out flyers, asking anyone who would listen if they had seen her. They already knew exactly where she was. This is the story of a girl who trusted the wrong people, a family who refused to stop looking, and a confession that shocked everyone - including the investigators who thought they had already seen everything. Skylar Neese deserved so much better than what she got. This episode is for her.

Cameron Macauley: The Boy Who Remembered a Family He Never Had

A two-year-old boy in Glasgow starts talking about a life he's never lived, on a remote Scottish island 220 miles away called Barra. Cameron Macauley has never been to Barra. Neither has his mother, Norma. But since he could first form sentences, Cameron has described it in detail: a white house near the beach, a black-and-white sheepdog, brothers and sisters, a father named Shane Robertson who died after being struck by a car, and planes that landed not on a runway, but on the sand. His story has never wavered. Not once. Now Cameron is five years old, and the memories aren't fading, they're getting heavier. He misses his Barra mum. He talks about her constantly. He's asked, over and over, to be taken back. The longing has become so intense that Norma is watching her son suffer genuine distress over a place he has never set foot in. She starts looking for answers. First she consults Dr. Chris French, a psychologist and editor of The Skeptic magazine, dedicated to debunking paranormal claims. His explanation: an overactive imagination, fed by television and the internet. Norma isn't convinced. She then visits Karen Majors, an educational psychologist who specialises in children's fantasy lives, and who says Cameron's memories don't match that profile at all. With no rational explanation in hand, Norma makes a decision. She's taking Cameron to Barra. What they find there will be very difficult to explain. — — — This story is based on the documentary The Boy Who Lived Before. Case research by Dr. Jim Tucker, University of Virginia.
