I think the scariest thing is that this reincarnation happened to someone who was already living their own life with a husband and child, as if Sumitra had no choice but to be taken over

[@Si74l0rd]

It sounds like a walk in situation, where Sumitra's energy checked out, but as the body was still capable of being functional a different energy moved in. It's not that she was forced out, but that her body was left inactive after her consciousness left when she died during the last seizure. It happens with coma patients too sometimes. If they come back it's not always the person they were before. Their consciousness left and something else found the body and used it like a hermit crab, since the original owner wasn't there anymore. It does give some credence to the idea of a universal consciousness.

[@lisahinton9682]

@Heather T Exactly! This is more of a possession than a reincarnation. I don't know why @MrBallen is calling this a reincarnation story. "Re" means "again" and "incarnate" means "to make flesh." So what he describes here is more of a possession than a rebirth into a new body.

[@MsGhostofficial]

I feel the same!!!! Even though much of this stuff is terrifying, I just can't stop diving in!!! : )

[@Zancarius]

@@MsGhostofficial I think what frightens us the most is that we can't see passed the veil. When Paul wrote to the churches about the powers, principalities, authorities, rulers, and dominions he wasn't strictly talking about the human world-but the spiritual. There is a shared mythos among world religions for a reason. There are things behind the veil. For a decidedly Christian take, I love to recommend Unseen Realm by Dr Michael Heiser. It's a largely academic work that digs into the ancient Near Eastern world view and attempts to reclaim parts of the Christian sphere the West has essentially forgotten-and is part of the reason why stories like this are so fascinating and terrifying. There's so much we don't understand that, perhaps, the ancients did (edit: and, of course, those cultures that derive from them).

[@wafflemaster06]

Absolutely all of this reeks of demonic possession. The Fallen are cruel, unfair, and very powerful and will absolutely not hesitate to bully and murder a young woman. THEN use their superior knowledge to deceive the world that reincarnation is real through another innocent soul. Be on guard, protect your soul, and follow Christ.

[@Zancarius]

@@wafflemaster06 I think this is why it's so important to have this discussion: For the better part of the last century (actually, longer), the spiritual veil has been hiding the truth that was well known to the early Israelites (and, consequently, to Christ and the apostles); arguably, if you take Dr. Heiser's view of Deut 32:8-9, you can see where almost every other culture held similar ideas from a sort of "common ancestry." As moderns, our hubris gets in the way of humility. We simply don't know as much as we think we do. Though itself a plea to God to take back the nations, Psalm 82 reads harshly for the reason you cite: The cruelty of these fallen ones implored the Psalmist to write his words!

[@babber2536]

Alot of horrible and horrifying occurrences occurred in all over india in November 1984 never forget never forgive .

[@horrorcide13]

Sad that Sumitra was pretty much forgotten and her life was forfeit. Her family lost their daughter and her son lost his mother. Very tragic. I am glad Shivas father got closure and found out what happened to his daughter but sad someone elses life was stolen for it. This is definitely one of my favourite videos of yours now! Edit: Just found out the SIL, the one accused of killing Shiva, was found raising one of Shiva's sons year later. The in-laws, including Shiva's own husband, MIL, FIL and SIL were all arrested but released shortly after, from 'lack of evidence.' There was so much suspicious shit the In-laws did after Shiva was claimed to have committed suicide. The MIL and SIL had fled and went into hiding for MONTHS after her death. They were only arrested when they returned and then released for 'lack of evidence.' Her in-laws had convinced the local police to allow them to cremate Shiva's body immediately after Shiva's Uncle and sister told them they wanted to wait until her father, Ram, came and an investigation was requested. Neighbours did see them carrying her corpse the night before it was found. Like it was obviously murder. And to make it even more tragic, Shiva and her family drifted apart after some time when she was reincarnated into Sumitras body because of society shaming them for having her and her husband live with them and the fact Sumitra's husband couldn't hold down a job. They didn't know she died until someone told them years later because they had stopped talking. Sickening and vile how authorities didn't do their job and let this all happen from sheer laziness and indifference. Shiva never got any justice after coming back from the dead and Sumitra and her family lost so much.

[@territimmerman140]

Thank you so much for adding so much context and information about this story. It is truely fascinating!!

[@jimmyparris9892]

As far as i'm concerned, Sumitra is the one who didn't get any justice. Shiva sounds like an entitled , rotten brat.

[@tarafeliciano8287]

When her "trances" started my immediate thought was seizure. My ex husband had them and this is EXACTLY how they looked. If she had a brain tumor, as it grew the seizures would worsen (become longer and more frequent). My husband sometimes did speak during his, and with different types of seizures, come different symptoms. That being said, if she was close to death, the spirit of the dead mom, being drawn to a baby boy the same age as her son, may have used the opportunity to walk in. She probably got permission to do so after she died.

[@FDKelly1]

You don't seem to have heard what I heard, which was that she was "clawing" at the air the day of the final attack, and suddenly started growling. That's not channeling, walk-ins, soul-transference, whatever, it's possession. It's All possession. This case it seems to be by a... well, "lower being". That other woman had no business stealing Sumitra's body. Sorry, but why the hell are you assuming she had permission given the account? Because possession is an uncomfortable notion to you?

The beginning of the story sounded like she was having seizures.

When she "snapped out of it" she had a totally different personality sometimes. Sometimes she didn't know where or who she was. She had varying degrees of seizures since she was an infant.She was a cocktail server and mid seizure she could have a huge tray of drinks and not spill a drop.

well you have to understand that this story is from that part of India where finding a good doc during that time period was very hard. So seizure is definitely to go with it but seems like some sort of poisoning too as seizures will not lower the heartbeat to such an extent. It is also possible that she was suffering from multiple personalities as people from difficult childhood tends to develop this. I have read about this story when I was in India in some flimsy magazine during the 90's, where they were trying to portray this as something supernatural. Even when I was a kid I never believed this hokum.

I'm curious as to why Shiva's family seem to have distanced themselves eventually. The ability to write having been illiterate or near illiterate is very strange.

That wasn't reincarnation, that was Soul transference, a person is made up of three parts, a body, a soul which is the mind, and a spirit. Until someone becomes saved by God and receives a regenerate spirit which is spiritual Resurrection they are born spiritually dead. When a lost person dies not only does their Flesh Decay but their soul joins their flesh in death, in a saint which is a saved Christian the soul will transfer to the vessel which their regenerate spirit is, but in the Lost there is no vessel for the soul to transfer to and therefore when someone who is lost dies their soul which again is their mind dies with their body. I believe what happened here is that two lost people died one from being murdered from her in-laws and the other died from demonic possession, the soul of the murder victim was transferred to the body of the one murdered by the demon, since there is no vessel for the soul of a lost person apparently sometimes a demon for whatever reason can transfer one soul to another body and it is probably similar to the way they possess people.

There is a girl at my dorm building that falls into a similar kind of trance. Everyday when she left her room she would walk super slowly, 1 step at a time and would walk with her hands stretched out and bent rigidly at an odd angle. When people tried to talk to her she was unresponsive and they told the RA’s. The RA’s didn’t know what to do so she just kept doing it. Whenever I walked past her like that I was always scared she’d jump at me or something but she never did and I’ve moved out now.

Anyway, they have some very intriguing studies into near death experiences, reincarnation and the connection between and among people, events and time. They are also one of the schools that has been running random number generators and analyzing the data to retroactively show that humanity has some ability to see just beyond the horizon of the present. One of their studies shows the random number generators located around the world tend to become somewhat synchronous just before major global events such as the 2004 tsunami, 9/11/2001 attack, and other similar examples. I don’t want to pretend to understand how such data is analyzed but I have read a couple of articles that convinced me of the findings.

My mother tells a story from when she was a little girl growing up in India. There was a young man in the village whose mother passed away. Some time after, he met and married a woman from another village. After the wedding, she, of course, came to stay with her husband and got on well with everyone there. One day, out of the blue, she, like Sumitra, fell into some kind of a fit. She shook and trembled, and started yelling and speaking in a very animated manner. Her voice, they say, was not her own. As she spoke, people ran to get her family, and at some point they realized that what she was saying were the words of the husband's mother, the woman's mother-in-law. She described events from the past, and gave messages to the family, though this young woman had NEVER met her husband's mother, EVER. She had died before she was any part of his life. There was no explanation for what she knew and what she said. The witnesses there were convinced that the spirit of the man's mother had returned to speak to her son and the family. While my mom did not know this family very well, she says she did see the woman in the trance-state, and says it was incredibly frightening and inexplicable. This only happened once, never to be repeated.

At first glance it gets labeled as 'reincarnation' but it is far more complicated than that catchphrase, it's something totally different. Taking all the sequence of events leading up to the day-of-'death', this story tracks as a complicated case of a possession of sorts or astral-body-exchange; it's an interesting situation that definitely deserves deeper investigation and consideration; the implications of two consciousnesses sharing a single body by the vehicle of physical death as a reboot are profound.

That wasn't reincarnation, that was Soul transference, a person is made up of three parts, a body, a soul which is the mind, and a spirit. Until someone becomes saved by God and receives a regenerate spirit which is spiritual Resurrection they are born spiritually dead. When a lost person dies not only does their Flesh Decay but their soul joins their flesh in death, in a saint which is a saved Christian the soul will transfer to the vessel which their regenerate spirit is, but in the Lost there is no vessel for the soul to transfer to and therefore when someone who is lost dies their soul which again is their mind dies with their body. I believe what happened here is that two lost people died one from being murdered from her in-laws and the other died from demonic possession, the soul of the murder victim was transferred to the body of the one murdered by the demon, since there is no vessel for the soul of a lost person apparently sometimes a demon for whatever reason can transfer one soul to another body and it is probably similar to the way they possess people.

my wife and i have been watching your videos forever. I remember when you were posting 5 times a week! it's been a pleasure to watch every video created with enthusiasm and quality story telling. I love seeing the amount of traction you're videos get, you definitely deserve it! Congrats on 7 MILL! Would love to know what got you started/motivated to start this channel? Also super cool seeing you advertising you're new podcast, looking forward to listening.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

He’s already covered that topic in videos. Just search them. It’s about him quitting the military, helping vets afterwards (I forget what actual service he was doing, but eventually he kinda wore out his welcome and they didn’t appreciate John talking about them on KZbin, so he turned this into a full-time job. He was desperate for a job, but didn’t want to do 9-5.

Wow such a sad story all in all. I do believe in the afterlife but these two families had to endure such tragic losses. I hope you cover more stories like these. They are fascinating.

Woah, this one was so crazy!! So I guess Sumitra wasn’t lying about dying! What a sad story for everyone involved. I’m glad that the family of the murdered woman got answers, and I’m also glad that she stayed and raised Sumitras son. Wow. As always, I absolutely love your channel, and I look forward to new videos! ❤

[@syrusangi8743]

It was really nice n considerate of her to do that. Shiva could've just decided to go back to her family considering her parents accepted her back despite the bizarre circumstances but she stayed behind to look after Sumitra's family. Besides, it's not like she'd ever want to go back to living with her seemingly helpless husband n poc in-laws anyway. She'd stay in a humble yet protective environment where her parents could still visit her. Her time after the experience was short considering she died 3 years after but that's valuable for someone who came back from the dead.

[@Orchid11nx]

@@syrusangi8743 They said Sumitra died in 1984 and Chiva (alive through Sumitra) died in 1998. She lived 14 years longer not 3.

You are my favorite story teller. I really appreciate how you convert measurements for us, like km to miles, and other math, like when you said "in july, 6 months later." Cause i was totally going to begrudgingly rewind to figure out how long. Also love how you focus on the victims, not only about killers, in other videos .

[@Its_like_the_T-Rex]

So... a ghost can force your soul out of your body because they want it? That's the most horrific part of this story. It's sad Shiba was murdered but the other woman didn't deserve to die.

[@JackalopeBunny]

Not really a ghost, it could of been a demon or other kind of spirit. I don't really believe in either but heard of it happening where demons can possess a person in other stories.

[@Clowneryoverload]

It's not a ghost it's just another soul. Soul is nothing but energy. And it is lost when one dies, what keeps us and our soul alive, is the will. And i guess that's what happened here, the first woman's will wasn't stronger so it got taken over by the one that had lost their physical form.

[@ruschev2]

@@Clowneryoverload maybe, or maybe they agreed to "trade spots" in the spirit world. Who really knows this is such a strange story and one that goes way beyond our current understanding of life lmao. Like even ghosts and aliens make more sense than this.

[@nedflanders4158]

Nope just a person with a neurological disease.

[@jennyadams223]

Most likely Shumitra died on that day when she had her last trance or episode or whatever. She died. Which then allowed Shivi's spirit to enter the body. No posession

[@seamus3562]

I suffered from depression since I was a toddler. I'm still fighting the good fight and one of the things that helps are distracting with a good book which a lot of times are hard to come by or with your stories. It might sound strange to some people but listening to your calming stories help me get to the day sometimes. 🌀

Always love the paranormal stories, and it's wild when they get confirmed by institutions that are on the objective side of things

[@misanthropicmusings4596]

I hate these paranormal stories -- many have been debunked or the so called facts come from very dubious sources. I'd like to see a more skeptical approach to these but accepting that Mrballen is a story teller ( a great one at that) and not a journalist I approach them more from the perspective of ghost stories and not documentaries. I'm here mostly for John's excellent narration and true crime stories.

[@johnfritz4096]

This story is incredible. I’m certain that many people are dismissing this entirely; for those that have never been close to someone or near someone who has experienced something like this I can understand. Someone I was very close to for half of my life had an interesting story about his cousin. My friend Brandon used to babysit his cousin Michael. When Michael was about 5 years old he told Brandon, ‘I remember you from the war. You saved me. The ship was hit by the Japanese airplanes. You saved me!’ Michael was too young to know or have been taught anything about Pearl Harbor. Brandon has since passed away and I’ve lost touch with his family but I still find their shared experience fascinating. Great job again Mr. Ballen.

[@liquidmetal718]

Interesting. I've heard such instances over the years and it's scary & comforting & very curious. Maybe people do forget or remember their old lives as kids.

[@shaydorahl6740]

That wasn't reincarnation, that was Soul transference, a person is made up of three parts, a body, a soul which is the mind, and a spirit. Until someone becomes saved by God and receives a regenerate spirit which is spiritual Resurrection they are born spiritually dead. When a lost person dies not only does their Flesh Decay but their soul joins their flesh in death, in a saint which is a saved Christian the soul will transfer to the vessel which their regenerate spirit is, but in the Lost there is no vessel for the soul to transfer to and therefore when someone who is lost dies their soul which again is their mind dies with their body. I believe what happened here is that two lost people died one from being murdered from her in-laws and the other died from demonic possession, the soul of the murder victim was transferred to the body of the one murdered by the demon, since there is no vessel for the soul of a lost person apparently sometimes a demon for whatever reason can transfer one soul to another body and it is probably similar to the way they possess people.

[@TheLithp]

Well, MY friend's cousin said the ouja board told him reincarnation is fake.

[@rejuvenatingsoul3498]

Well that's the one of the aspects of Karma. I'm Indian, in the west, Karma is just "you do bad, bad happens to you", it's true but that's not it. If you owe a "debt", not money but your life to a soul, in the next cycle of rebirth you're made to repay that debt in some shape or form to that soul. And no, it doesn't matter if you believe in Christianity or other religion, you can't escape it.

Great story, I have a similar one. This Nov 17 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of my wife dying in a car accident where I was the driver. I spent about a week in the hospital after the car rolled over me when I was thrown out of it. While I was in the hospital, family&friends would visit me. One of the friends was Maria who was good friends with both Wendy&I. She told me later on that when she visited me in the hospital she was getting feelings for me that she never had before. A few months later we were at a mutual friend's house drinking alcohol which I used to kill the pain of me losing Wendy for 30yrs before I finally was able to live life on life's terms. We got to talking& she made a move on me& ended up at her trailer for the night. We went into her bedroom & laid in bed. All of a sudden I started hearing a loud heartbeat coming from the outside of the trailer boom boom boom. Then, I started hearing scratching on the inside wall so loud I thought that Maria had a dog in her closet & I turned the light on& there was no closet. I looked in the hallway where the bathroom was on the other side of the wall. I looked& it was empty. Well, that ruined the night we had planned on. Lolol I kind of tried to stay away from Maria after that, but we hooked up a couple of weeks later. I was staying with my grandparents so I couldn't take her there, so we hooked up at a friend's house. She was taking me home& a car started following us. I had wrecked my car so I was carless for a while, so she was driving. We drove around a little bit & she dropped me off. I told her to go back to Larry's'' so I got out& looked at the car following her& it was a dark car, but couldn't see it clearly for some crazy reason with a streetlight right there at the house. She went to Larry's & ran into the house. Larry, Ricky, and Maria heard the car pull up to Larry's house& heard somebody get out & the door close. Ricky grabbed the knife that he had at all times& ran to the door& opened it. There was nothing there, nothing at all. Well, hate to tell u this, but I kind of started to stay away from Maria& she came by one night to ask for help from me because she told me that Wendy was trying to possess her to be with me. She told me when she looked at me in the hospital she fell in love with me. She never had those feelings for me before the accident. She asked for my help. Well, I told her I would see what I could do. She drove me over to Larrys' house, I never stepped foot in her trailer again after the 1st night lol. We got over there& went into Larry's room to see what I could do. We sat on the bed& all along the wall on the other side of the bed blue sparks started to go back&forth along the wall. I started saying ''Wendy, u died & about Wendy leaving Maria alone. I looked at Maria& I started to get turned on by her, but I was turned on by Wendy, not Maria. Hate to tell you what I did, but i jumped up& had Larry take me home. That was the last time I saw her except once about a year after that. She told me a psychic helped her out. He told her the accident was so horrific, ''the car blew up'' that she didn't realize she died. He told her to go to the light& gave Maria a neckless with garlic&sage to wear for 5dys& it worked. Years later Wendycame to me after my grandpops crossed over& said she saw him& my grandma get together. She told me that she will be the first in line when I pass over. All I could do was cry. Don't have any proof that this happened but I would swear on my soul, that this happened to me 50yrs ago. Peace&Love Kenny ''Real Truth''

Now I'm liking the last two months they are like the o.g. mr. Ballen stories before the partnership so I'm glad the partnership is working out and they are listening to you. Congratulations John. And remember just because they have deep pockets and are partners doesn't mean they can burn you out. Stand strong. You make sure you keep God first family second and KZbin in your succession after that somewhere on your list. If you need to take breaks then you take breaks cuz we will always be here for you.
