Does a deceased serviceman live on in the body of a young boy ? Image Credit: sxc.hu Andrew Lucas came out with the startling revelation when he told his parents that not only did he remember being a Marine but that his past life had ended when he died in a fire.

The family would go on to be featured on the TV series 'Ghost Inside My Child' which aims to investigate similar cases of children who seem to be able to recall vivid memories of a past incarnation.

Lucas was able to remember specific details about his life in the military including his apparent name, Sgt. Val Lewis, who records show died in a bomb explosion in Beirut on October 23 1983, the same year that the boy had said that he had perished in a fire.In one case his parents showed him a photograph of several other Marines who would have served alongside Sgt Lewis and Lucas appeared to recognize them as his friends.

While his claims are intriguing they have also been met with a certain degree of skepticism. Like in other alleged cases of reincarnation it isn't clear exactly whether the boy really is recalling his past life or if he has somehow picked up what he knows from another source .

There is also the problem that as the investigation deepened Lucas may have simply been going along with what was suggested to him as oppose to offering new information independently.

Whether he really is the reincarnation of Sgt. Lewis is something we will likely never know for sure.
