Boy claims he was reincarnated describing scarily perfect memory of being big Hollywood star

A young lad is completely adamant that he is a reincarnation of a big Hollywood star from 60 years ago, and even a child psychiatrist believes him.

Born in 2004, Ryan Hammond from Oklahoma, US, claims he has vivid memories of another life in Hollywood back in the 1940s and 1950s.

Watch below:

During a 2015 broadcast by NBC, Ryan opened up about the first time he thought he was a different person.

At the age of five, he claims to have told his mother: “Mama, I think I used to be someone else.”

That's when the schoolboy was said to have voiced eerie details about a Hollywood star from decades ago.

His story was extremely similar to that of the life of Marty Martyn, a movie extra who got married four times and lived in New York.

He passed away from a brain haemorrhage in 1964 at the age of 61.

This comes after Ryan's mum said he kept asking to 'visit his other family' while waking up in the middle of the night, calling 'action' as if he were on a film set.

Initially, the parents thought their child was just 'imagining things'.

But after Ryan 'recognised himself' in a book on the Golden Age of Hollywood, that's when they started to take his claims more seriously.

"She turns to a page and I say 'that's me'," a 10-year-old Ryan told NBC.

"That's who I was."

Things started to feel even more real when child psychiatrist Dr Jim Tucker believed that Ryan's claims of reincarnation were valid.

Dr Tucker said: "The world just doesn't work as we think or assume it does. The cases I have examined don't come under a normal explanation of how we perceive the world."

According to the author's of 'The mystery of reincarnation' - which was published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry - there is a lot more research to be done on the topic.

They said: "Neither there is strong objective evidence nor specific research methods that can discover the mystery of reincarnation.

"However, not everything can be known by the humans with their current mind and intelligence that are far limited to perceive such paranormal phenomenon.

"Thus there is nothing much to conclude. However, one thing is very clear.

"Human mind's greatest weakness is to make concepts that fit into its belief and then believe that this is the absolute truth."
