When I met my wife it was an instant connection. We kept saying it seemed like we met before, but we grew up in 2 different states. Fast forward over a decade a marriage. We were helping her mother go thru things and my wife open an old photo album of a Disney vacation they went on. There was a picture she never notice of her holding a candy with a boy that her parents took. Her mother said a boy gave her, his candy after she dropped her's in a line. My wife said the boy kind of looks like me. She hands me the photo it was me at 8yr old. I knew it was me because I was wearing Miami Don payless shoes. Our families happen to be in line at Disney at the same time years ago. Now 20+yrs of marriage & 8 kids later, she still hasn't paid me back for that candy I gave her. I told her with interest she owe me $15,000 for the candy I gave her.
Bro if my fiancé went on a school trip then came back saying she meant a man she felt connected to, like they had lived a precious life together, I’d be sooo confused and sad
Sometimes it’s hard to escape an engagement after you decide you still want to sleep around, especially back then, and weird stories were better than being ostracized for being unfaithful. Some people go so far as to claim virgin pregnancy just to avoid admitting being unfaithful.
Luke… this one is now my favorite. Literally I felt emotionally invested and I truly felt sorry for John. Just, wow. Amazing story telling … clearly your calling, well done
This is my FAVORITE Wartime Stories video yet! Beautiful story altogether!! The events of this tale seem to me to confirm a theory that I am coming more and more to embrace as truth, and it is this: The thing that we call "reality" is not a stable, monolithic, solid thing. I used to think that the world had a physical existence only, and that it was like a rigid mountain hurtling through time, changing as it ages, but essentially bound by linear rules of progression and causality, not prone to fluctuations or "glitches". Now I believe that life, reality, the planet, everything, is more like a massive dream. It is a consciousness interacting with itself. We all experience different points of view, but we are all part of the same awareness, and the phenomena of time and space and experience are all functions taking place WITHIN that awareness. With this worldview in mind, the thought of souls reincarnating and revisiting past lives, of landscapes appearing in forms that they no longer possess, or of memories that defy the passage of death and rebirth... all of this seems absolutely reasonable and plausible to me. I have experienced my own eye-opening glimpses into this expanded view of existence, though so far none of my own adventures in time have had the poetic and dramatic overtones of this wonderful story. I am grateful to John and Barbara for sharing their experiences with the world. The more we learn about what actually IS, the better decisions we can make as we weather our journeys, and the better people we may become. All the best to anybody who reads this, and thanks to Wartime Stories for this glimpse behind the curtain of reality. --N
I've had a very similar shifting of my philosophy and personal understanding of the universe and nature of reality over my own lifetime. There were a lot of things that never made sense to me from my conservative religious upbringing, but when I started to look into what universal themes tie together many different religions and philosophy, and scientific discoveries, some fundamental patterns started to emerge. I now feel that what you are describing is a lot closer to the "truth" such as it is. And that brings me a sense of peace that I never had before.
This one gave me chills. Meeting someone in this life that your soul remembers is a very surreal experience, especially when they feel it too. It’s an incredibly special experience, to meet someone we’ve shared a life with and loved before. The strangeness of familiarity, of this person you just met feeling like “home.” As someone who has had this experience, thank you for this story. ❤
I had a girl coworker whose brother had died when he was young. 30 years later her mom had met a little boy about 10 years old. He kept telling her she was his mom in his past life. He saw a photo of their family and named every single person even though he’s never met them.
I've had that experience. We just looked at eachother across the bar and smiled and ignored everyone else and talked. We spent that entire night talking, and ended up dating for two years. He got wrapped up in drugs 😢 he's in jail and it's over now...
This is by far the prettiest story and synchronicity I have ever heard, there truly is more to our existence we have died and come back many, many times over and over again
@@robertmosher7418You can also be reborn as an animal, become a (mountain) spirit, Kobold and sometimes you just won't get reborn right away and have to wait for you next attempt. So nothing unusual
Intriguing. Makes you wonder. I had a person contact me once and swore they knew me from the remote past. Like a thousand years. A drawing was sent. Now, we never met, they drew a picture of me in battle. They said, "I know you, and you were there." This story makes me wonder of the great mysteries around us.
It's a rabbit hole. I had something similar. If I ever get married in church. Will never say until death do us part..but may Jesus always keep us united
@Mariaschild I'm a Christian and don't believe in reincarnation but that Jesus keep us forever is beautiful sentiment. It makes one wonder why things like this happen?😮
Luke, I just wanna say thank you for all the content you’ve been giving us lately between this channel and Redacted. You are a great story teller and I enjoy the way you present stories. I also appreciate how you respectful you are. This TH-cam channel in particular has become one of my favorites. May God bless you and continue to be with you, sir. -Sincerely, a civilian
@@argonaut_jay You know -- measuring how much of a radioactive isotope, often Carbon-14, is left in an object as a way of determining the object's age.
@@christianpalmer I don't want to type it all out, it was a 2 year tour and so much stuff happened. At times, especially early on, I thought I was going crazy, I kept hearing things, even NAMES in my head, like someone was telling me.
@@TheCountofToulouseI know how you feel. What I've done is typed out my experience. I waited 9 years after my encounter with whatever it was to write it down. I've also rewriiten my account several times to compare with my first drafts to see if my memory was consistant. I was Military Police so I approached my own experience as if I was investigating myself. If anything, writing things down helps keeps facts straight and you don't add or alter details. Someday it might be relavant again, your former ship might make a story and you can compare notes. Keeps you from going crazy because next thing you know 20 years go by and you wonder if it was real or if you dreamed it.
I don’t know, man maybe I’m just that kind of person because I watch these type of things and believe in them, but if I really met a woman and is the things that I felt or described where half of what the story is, I’m I’m trying to explore that because who gets those opportunities in this in this way right in this type of story maybe it’s different as I see other people in the comments but I’m just saying in this type of way how could you not pursue that I meanwhat wonders could be unlocked what things could be shared you know I don’t know I’m just saying it sucks that they never got together.
Listening to this story I cant help but feel a sense of sorrow for these people, separated by time and space and love for others but not for their true selves/ each other. Despite my own Christian upbringing I too have had a sense of past lives. When I was under the age of four, I used to get absolutely terrified of water over my head, something that my parents could not explain. I also began to draw vivid images of ships of sail battling it out on the high seas, something that could be explained by my early fascination with ships of war in the 17th through 19th centuries but the one image I could never explain was a drawing I used to do quiet frequently, soldiers with helmets and long spears, cannons and horses fighting together. I would draw it constantly as a young child. It wasnt until I was an adult that I would find alot of images of the Tercio, a spanish battle formation that would be utilized quiet frequently during the 16th and 17th centuries. I am of Spanish decent and my family has alot of heritage here in the new world. It makes me wonder.
There are answers that don't involve past lives. The first is, of course, that such memories are "logismoi"; the fallen spirits can put images and sense impressions in your mind. The kids nowadays call them "intrusive thoughts". The other option, of course, is that you actually have ancestors who fought in past Spanish wars, and what you're experiencing is sense impressions and memories from them passed down in your soul. We inherit our spirit from our ancestors the same way we inherit our bodies; we're a unique spiritual patchwork of our parents, their parents, etc.
@daniellewis5533 that has been my current understanding as well, something not explained in my christian beliefs. Regardless either way it is not important, this is the life i am responsible for and have been gifted by my creator, I will be responsible for my decisions. Its not impossible that God wouldn't allow someone to return in a manner conducive with a higher plan but either way it is what it is.
Agreed. I'm only 2 minutes into this video and it reminded me of the 3 British soldiers who walked into a village from the 1500s ,with not a soul there except them. I'm pretty sure it was on this channel also
I hope you feel better soon ❤ some days happy really is a mindset And inside job and we have to activate it when the day is letting us down . Perhaps try these steps : take a moment and think of maybe 5 good things about today. Maybe your hair looks good or you got somewhere early or someone paid you a complement....... Now try to think of 5 blessings of the day : food in your belly? Warmth in the cold of winter? Ok good , now go find someone who needs help or someone who is having a worse day then you and be supportive. It's amazing how things like this can turn a day around or at least my feelings about it. You got this sis , keep that head up and just keep swimming, just keep swimming....❤❤❤❤❤
Man, this video brought back strong memories and emotions. I experienced something very similar to John’s story just 5 years ago. A part of me wished I didn’t experience it because it really shook me to my core. I went deep into a rabbit hole, trying to make sense of it all, and I eventually went into depression. My “Barbara” in this life (who was a coworker of mine) is also with someone else. I never had the guts to talk to her about everything I was feeling and experiencing because I was afraid she would think I’m crazy. She eventually left the company because her job became way too stressful for her. Since she left, I decided not to contact her anymore (which was sooo difficult for me to do), but I’m glad I did because it really helped me move on with my life. I believe if my “Barbara” and I are meant to be together again in this lifetime, it’ll happen. But if not, I wish her nothing but the best, and I’m sure I’ll see her again in another lifetime.
This incident is eerily similar to that one well known incident that happened in England i believe? Where soliders were training or something and tume warped into a medieval type of village where everything looked way before their time and saw nobody.
me too... the story doesn't say if john eventually found someone else. It sounds like he didn't and it that makes me ponder on how these types of supernatural discoveries can be both, a blessing and a curse.
@afarewell2arms567 It was supposed to be her. Leave it to a woman to just completely ignore the universe sending her an unbelievable message. Never fails.
This is by far one of the best stories I've heard here. I was having chills all over my body while listening to it. I have not yet found the love of my life, and I'm 43. Yea, it's kind of sad, but I'm also happy I haven't been one to just get together with someone for the sake of it. I am a loner so it works, but I often think about how it could be. There have been a few times during my life that I have felt like John regarding someone I've meet. But they were always already taken. That's why it makes me sad to hear that John and Barbara never meet again, and that they never won each other.
ha ha...maybe be thankful that you didnt meet yer dream girl,,?...i sound twattish of course, but i lived with the love of my life for the last 24 years...then she died in february.........and her italian family have claimed ...well everything...xxx...peace
Wow Luke. Just wow. This is probably my favorite Wartime Stories that you have ever posted. Wonderful story and well told and documented. Thank you for all the hard work that you and your team does.
I've spent my entire life feeling like I have unfinished business from a life I never lived, memories I shouldn't have, and dreams of people I know but never met. A psychic told me I had been killed in a war in a recent past life. To this day, I can't watch anything related to WW1 without first having a panic attack and then slipping into a deep depression. When I was four, I would dream about being trapped in a hole filled with fire and smoke and dirt. It's hard to reconcile that with being raised a Christian, but my lived experience makes me believe more in reincarnation than heaven.
This story reminds me of the Moberly Jourdain incident, where two women visited the Palace of Versailles in 1901 and allegedly experienced a time slip where they went back to the days before the Revolution... obviously I have no way of knowing if this really happened but it's a great story.
Luke, this is by far my favorite story on this channel. The storytelling was fantastic, and the story itself just so surreal and captivating. I myself have also encountered a gal who I from the first time I saw her, felt like we had known each other before that. Today, a decade later, we are still friends, even though we have followed different paths.
This is a beautiful story, and it's fascinating! Luke's voice adds a depth to the narrative that can weave the listeners' imagination into a fantastic mental picture! I'm so glad that he teamed up with Ballen Studios, or I may not have discovered this awesome channel!
The first time i heard your story telling i absolutely felt in love with your voice and from that day i always listen to your story and i'm always hype for the next upload. Thank you for delivering us a great story and your podcast REDACTED is awesome i have never purchased any premium stuff in apps but because of you i actually purchased one. Keep it up 👍
Second!!!!! What an amzing channel, you upload so frequently, it constantly surprises me, and the quality of the recent videos only seems to be IMPROVING. Unreal, honestly. Thx again Luke!
This was one of your best Luke! Right up there with "The Kitsune". But better because that was admittedly fiction. It was bittersweet for sure. I felt so bad for John and his inner turmoil of how much he should tell Barbara, not wanting to interfere in her life.
I had a very wierd thing happening with my cat. She is only about 6 or 7 pounds and is a black torbie. Mainly black with a white bib and socks with little ginger sprinkled in, and she used to somehow get behind you on a window shelf behind the toilet. It freaked me out because the floor is whitish and not a lot of room and she would somehow get on that shelf all the time without ever seeing her pass in front of me or my wife. It scared the crap out of me the first few times. Then she went out the front door one night and I backed away then turned around and she was sitting on a table. She has gotten past my brother when he was standing in the doorway with it barely open and his feet in the way. We went out and there she was. It used to happen a lot. I believe these might be tiny little time slips. You see her in one part of the house and walk into another room and there she is. Sort of creepy, but funny too as she just sits there with her head cocked to the right going "What? Did I do something?" Glad that stopped.
A beautiful (and tearful) story. I enjoy watching all of Wartime Stories - but this one really touched my heart. As I watched this episode, I kept thinking to myself - this would make a great feature film. Thank you Luke for sharing :)
Hamlet, “There is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Admittedly there exist these moments defying logic. However, I believe there must be a rational explanation for these type of experiences.
It's really sad... And many times, no matter how much you want it to come true, it doesn't. Either through your own insecurities, fears, anxieties or because of other factors you do not control. All you can really do is move on. Hearing this story made me feel melancholic as well. Even though times have changed and there is someone really special you can still feel that nagging question :"what if...?" ... No point in living in the past, though. What's done is done. Not every story has a happy ending.
The beauty of this incident is perceivable only to those who have faced similar situation. Its three years now that I got married to the love of my life - someone who was in love with me under similar circumstances of a place and a weather not normal. There is love across life times - so many are in love and are not together, so many are together but not in love. Not me and my wife 😊 .We are happy that we found each other to grind, quarrel and be blind in love .
@WartimeStories One of the best yet on production. Voice actors and sound effects were great, had me shed at tear or two even sharing your story with your sponsor promo, well done Luke.
I havnt watched your movie yet but you reminded me of a man i met at work. 40 years ago. He said his father was in a blizzard in the 30s or 40s driving his semi he got lost came across a farm they took pitty on him, took him in for the night or two he thanked them and left. Sometime there after he went back to say hello... The farm was not there. He told his son this story then that man told me. I thought it was god but IDK.
I believe that there are occasional guardians of some variety that have the ability to help us from time to time. Too many stories of people encountering that 👍
I was a 19 year old midshipman and met an FC3 at the base in San Diego. I felt like we had met before. Never saw him again after those couple of weeks but this story hit me hard. These experiences are definitely real.
I got a good love story about crossing patha before dating/marriage/ family. I missed bus & walked to high school. I saw a pretty girl walking towards me after she didn't get off at her Jr high stop. So she had to foot it over a catwalk bridge were we first seen each other. I remember everything she wore. I glitched & look back saying damn she to young. Kept it moving. Then 4 years later I move with my father a house down from her family. We become friends but no relationship yet. I was dating & she was too. The Elder Lady who lived in between us who we helped out from time to time was going to a nursing home. The lady told us she was going to give us her us because we were going be together and raise a family at her house. We were blown by her revelation. Our friendship became love and marriage happened. House was given to us( we payed back taxes though) . Fixed it up and gave thanks & 4 kids later and 24 yrs happily ever. Life Is so good take the chances people. Live to be your best self
Luke, this was one of your best episodes, and one of the coolest, most complex/layered stories you have done! Wish John and Barbara could have ended up together. Lol
That is one of the best stories ever told, extremely well read, and I believe that to be the truth. Very well put together, and the animations were excellent. Thank you 🙏
Geomagnetic anomalies picking the usual lock on linear time is indeed a fascinating phenomenon. Sometimes the same worlds, each from different times, collide with fantastic effect.
Beautiful and sad story. There have been far too many people who have had that, 'I've been here before, and I know exactly what's round the corner', moments or, the moment they have met someone they have felt they already know them somehow, and the feeling has been mutual. Who truly knows why? Though, not the same, when I was a kid I had a reoccurring dreams of walking with a tall man up the hill leading to the top of Brean Downs in Somerset, England where I live. We were going to see the old Fort. I knew he was my grandad, and it was a lovely memory, but when I told my sister, she told me I was making it up because I never met grandad. But I KNEW I had met him and made that walk. The thing is, she had a good reason not to believe me. He had died a year before I was born. He died in 1971, I was born in 1972. But it happened over and over again, and I remember him so clearly, even now, the dream is crystal clear and vivid, the smell of the sea, and the sound, his big warm hand, me practically trotting to keep up even though he walked slowly. It was a bright, overcast day. It was a happy event. I was with grandad, just the two of us, and we were going to see the old fort! My grandad was a tall man, 6'7" and as I remember from the dream, my arm was right up straight as he held my hand. I had never seen a photo of him before, but when I did, I recognised him. My gran told me that perhaps I HAD taken that walk with him in another time or reality, or perhaps he had been coming to see his granddaughter in the only way he could.
YES!!! I always get super pumped to see a new story.... I wish they were added to Spotify as quickly as TH-cam I usually prefer listening at work for the first couple hours before the day really starts.
3:51 I have a friend. Grew up in Wichita Kansas, where I live now(I'm from L.A.). Wichita is small compared to where I'm from, so I'm not going to say any identifying information. My friend is a veteran. A wonderful human. We were talking about therapy, and they said something along the lines of, "Yea, ok California." Scoff and eyeroll. You get it. So I sneakily suggested MrB and Wartime Stories, specifically because the channels are amazing and often speak on your time in the service and how much therapy helps. You both have made a difference. And I would bet my friend is not alone. Truly, thank you ❤
This channel is so good and I’ve gotten so much late night-shift entertainment from it- I’m going to go back and like all the videos I forgot to like the first time I watched them.
I don’t know about past lives, but I’m a filmmaker, and a friend of mine who was taking an acting class texted me a picture from his textbook of a Russian actor from the 1800s who looked almost identical to me. My dad’s side of the family goes back to Germany/Prussia. No idea of any relation, but the likeness was striking.
It’s so cute how she asked him for a kiss and he nervously agreed like “ohh… ok. Yeah." Lol that’s adorable. I really liked the art in this episode, it was whimsical and different. It really fits the story and atmosphere. So nice watching you talk but kind of weirdly disorienting from the perspective of a viewer who has been listening to you for years now. It’s as if your image and voice haven’t quite melded together for me, yet. You’re really good looking btw - your wife must be adorable, too. Hope this takes your channel to the next level! The Mr. Ballen effect. You certainly deserve every single view! I’ll be watching every upload!
Where is my soul mate? I don’t think I have one, maybe it is a myth that you have one, or maybe I was evil in another life…. If I had a one.. if i had a soul mate , it was probably my dog. Edit, never mind, Merry Christmas to you all.
@ oh thank you! And to you! 🎄♥️. No offence meant my friend, but I’m not looking for a soul mate. Im just curious about the notion or concept of a ‘soul mate’ in general.
WILD. Great video. So kinda similar but, me and my grandmother have always been incredibly close. Ever since I was born my grandmother always said she suspected we'd known each other before, and could never explain why. Well, fast forward to when I was like 14. Unbeknownst to me she had a past life reading/hypno session thing. Whatever it was. The only clear things she got was images of her being a little kid on a farm in what felt like the late 1800s. Fields, a large brown barn, and a little boy she would play with, her brother. Followed by a very gloomy and sad memory of a train station. A few years later, she had me come to the same person and have them try it with me. It had worked, because I don't remember hardly any of being put under, but I opened my eyes to my grandmother in tears. They played the audio back and I heard my voice recount growing up on a farm. Playing with my sister by the big brown barn. Looking out at the fields. Saying goodbye at a train station, and lastly an image of the side of a ship. They then told me it's exactly as she had said when hers was done, only from the other perspective. Its still a very very surreal feeling even just retelling it.
Should do more videos on towns just being abandoned overnight. Surprisingly, there is a lot of cases around the world. Edit: Also was a case where a military force vanished too.
I'm probably going to be a huge party pooper, but while this is a beautiful story, I have a couple of issues with it. - As far as I was able to research, the great Hurricane of 1780 never made landfall at Bermuda. The bulk of it hit the modern day Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Bermuda is like a thousand miles north of that. Is it possible that some of the outskirt winds hit Bermuda? Sure, but it's hard to imagine this would have wiped off an entire village. I also couldn't find any records of big scale destruction or deaths on Bermuda in 1780. - It's very strange that Sir John and Lady Barabra would have been called/known as such. A title usually comes attach with a place and gets added to the full name, Sir John XXX of somewhere for example. I again also couldn't find any records of a Sir John and Lady Barbara living on Bermuda in 1780. Assuming that John indeed was a famous navy hero and got knighted by King George and that Lady Barbara was of noble blood, shouldn't there at the very least be some records of their supposed demise? - Assuming they got married in 1764 and met at the same age as their reincarnations did later, Lady Barbara would have been 19 in 1764, which would have made her about 35 in 1780. Given the time and medical knowledge at the time, it's, while not impossible, hard to believe that the couple wouldn't have tried to have children earlier, or that Lady Barbara would have been able to carry out a baby at that age, let alone the unborn child surviving the most devastating Hurricane in recorded history. The whole story being told under the premises of the Bermuda triangle, which is infamous for countless exaggerated, if no straight up made up stories, certainly doesn't help in this case. I don't want to take anything away from anyone, again, it's a beautiful story and you can believe/take away from it whatever you want, as well as stuff like déjà vu or strange experiences are a very real thing. But Personally, I call bull on this one.
A cursary search brought Wikipedia which has cited articles and reads: October 18, 1780 - After emerging from the Lesser Antilles, where it establishes itself as the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, the Great Hurricane of 1780 devastates Bermuda,[3] likely passing southeast of the islands.[23] Some fifty ships are driven ashore with the storm surge, and vast swaths of trees are uprooted; the town of St. George's is left with a "completely denuded air." Many homes are demolished. Famine and a smallpox epidemic take hold in the aftermath of the hurricane.[
It's uncanny how striking a connection in a few moments with someone can turn our whole world, our dreams and expectations around. It's unsettling how we can attribute certain things to fate and how we can get absolutely torn apart if our hopes don't see fulfilment. Love is one thing, this was just so beautiful and sad. This was an amazing upload.
Being on a big ship and actually being in the water swimming can be different to some. Very rarely do big ships ever come close to capsizing, but doing something that requires you to actually be in the water...diver, Navy Seal etc that's a lot different. I don't like deep water, but have no problem on a big ship
I guess I missed the portal. John seems to think he physically moved through time, and Barbara seems to think that in a separate past life, she may have lived on Bermuda. This story alluded to a bunch of perfectly normal coincidences, none of which confirms that either John or Barbara was right in either opposing account. I'm sure it felt weird from their own subjective points of view, but rationally speaking, neither conclusion makes much sense. The world is weird like that. Still an interesting story though.
If theres one thing that could or would debunk a true "grandfather paradox" its that every instance of these time slips, removes any other person except for the person/people that are participating in the time slip itself.
No BearanormalPodcast...you are confused. This recounting of the paranormal experience of the guy in The Coast Guard also included Captain Sam. When he showed John his painting of his Great, Great Grandparents...Sir John & Lady Barbara...he became part of the paranormal. Present-day John & Barbara are look-a-likes & they have memories of the 17th Century Village, etc. Captain Sam was clearly a pivotal aspect in this paranormal experience & he most likely believed John & Barbara are the reincarnations of his Great, Great Grandparents. Respectfully, Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I think youre the one whos confused, Captain Sam was not in the time slip experience he was in the present day timeline. Maybe go back and listen to it again.
When I met my wife it was an instant connection. We kept saying it seemed like we met before, but we grew up in 2 different states. Fast forward over a decade a marriage. We were helping her mother go thru things and my wife open an old photo album of a Disney vacation they went on. There was a picture she never notice of her holding a candy with a boy that her parents took. Her mother said a boy gave her, his candy after she dropped her's in a line. My wife said the boy kind of looks like me. She hands me the photo it was me at 8yr old. I knew it was me because I was wearing Miami Don payless shoes. Our families happen to be in line at Disney at the same time years ago. Now 20+yrs of marriage & 8 kids later, she still hasn't paid me back for that candy I gave her. I told her with interest she owe me $15,000 for the candy I gave her.

Isn't that something 😅

That is amazing ❤
Reincarnation. Time Slips. Twin Flames... This episode has it all. Outstanding. Dude, you have the perfect voice and control for narration. Well done.
I wouldn't miss any story updates, love the narration, voice and artwork
Eeew Twin Flames...that has some awful context lol
@@aaronblank2318as a concept, not the cult that uses the concept as a foundation.
Yup, exactly what I was thinking we are all reincarnated souls only the body dies not the soul.
_"Dude, you have the perfect voice and control for narration."_
He probably hears that WAY too much. But I'm sure he'll get used to it!
Bro if my fiancé went on a school trip then came back saying she meant a man she felt connected to, like they had lived a precious life together, I’d be sooo confused and sad
FR 😭
Cooked 😭😭
I'd be in jail after finding him tbh
Sometimes it’s hard to escape an engagement after you decide you still want to sleep around, especially back then, and weird stories were better than being ostracized for being unfaithful.
Some people go so far as to claim virgin pregnancy just to avoid admitting being unfaithful.
It's not you. It's me. But actually it's you.
Luke… this one is now my favorite. Literally I felt emotionally invested and I truly felt sorry for John. Just, wow. Amazing story telling … clearly your calling, well done
You said it perfectly! This was EXACTLY how I felt as I worked my way through the video.
Yes same! I wanted it to have a fairy book ending with them ending up together but I think how it played out makes it that more touching actually
Dang this one’s sad. The greatest example of “missed connections” in history!
Being an old sailor from that era and having visited Bermuda a few times on liberty, this story gave me the chills.
This is my FAVORITE Wartime Stories video yet! Beautiful story altogether!!
The events of this tale seem to me to confirm a theory that I am coming more and more to embrace as truth, and it is this: The thing that we call "reality" is not a stable, monolithic, solid thing. I used to think that the world had a physical existence only, and that it was like a rigid mountain hurtling through time, changing as it ages, but essentially bound by linear rules of progression and causality, not prone to fluctuations or "glitches". Now I believe that life, reality, the planet, everything, is more like a massive dream. It is a consciousness interacting with itself. We all experience different points of view, but we are all part of the same awareness, and the phenomena of time and space and experience are all functions taking place WITHIN that awareness.
With this worldview in mind, the thought of souls reincarnating and revisiting past lives, of landscapes appearing in forms that they no longer possess, or of memories that defy the passage of death and rebirth... all of this seems absolutely reasonable and plausible to me. I have experienced my own eye-opening glimpses into this expanded view of existence, though so far none of my own adventures in time have had the poetic and dramatic overtones of this wonderful story.
I am grateful to John and Barbara for sharing their experiences with the world. The more we learn about what actually IS, the better decisions we can make as we weather our journeys, and the better people we may become.
All the best to anybody who reads this, and thanks to Wartime Stories for this glimpse behind the curtain of reality. --N
Your words are fascinating and eloquent. I can relate very much to your point of view.
I've had a very similar shifting of my philosophy and personal understanding of the universe and nature of reality over my own lifetime. There were a lot of things that never made sense to me from my conservative religious upbringing, but when I started to look into what universal themes tie together many different religions and philosophy, and scientific discoveries, some fundamental patterns started to emerge. I now feel that what you are describing is a lot closer to the "truth" such as it is. And that brings me a sense of peace that I never had before.
Learning about anthropology and history has given me a very similar perspective, very well said
Yeah...
Baby..xx
I love the last line of "This was the only time they met in person...in this life," like there was happiness in the closure to their story
Unfortunately there is not happiness or closer with this story.. the end.
"Dating can be tough" oh man this is gonna be good
Great timing on the release! Happy Friday to all and to all a good weekend!
@@khrisbreezy3628 🤣😂right?!?🙏♥️🇺🇸👍💯
Yes, dating can be tough 😂
Have a good weekend as well 😊
This one gave me chills. Meeting someone in this life that your soul remembers is a very surreal experience, especially when they feel it too.
It’s an incredibly special experience, to meet someone we’ve shared a life with and loved before. The strangeness of familiarity, of this person you just met feeling like “home.” As someone who has had this experience, thank you for this story. ❤
I had a girl coworker whose brother had died when he was young. 30 years later her mom had met a little boy about 10 years old. He kept telling her she was his mom in his past life. He saw a photo of their family and named every single person even though he’s never met them.
And she blew it. Of course.
I've had that experience. We just looked at eachother across the bar and smiled and ignored everyone else and talked. We spent that entire night talking, and ended up dating for two years. He got wrapped up in drugs 😢 he's in jail and it's over now...
Fate brought them back together and Barbara killed it. John should have told her how he felt before saying goodbye on the island.
Yes I agree. John mucked it up big time.
Not even fate can prevent a massive fumble
This is by far the prettiest story and synchronicity I have ever heard, there truly is more to our existence we have died and come back many, many times over and over again
I believe but, i also believe in different galaxies also
If that's the case, why are there more people now than ever?
@@robertmosher7418 new souls can be created.
@@robertmosher7418You can also be reborn as an animal, become a (mountain) spirit, Kobold and sometimes you just won't get reborn right away and have to wait for you next attempt.
So nothing unusual
Intriguing. Makes you wonder. I had a person contact me once and swore they knew me from the remote past. Like a thousand years. A drawing was sent. Now, we never met, they drew a picture of me in battle. They said, "I know you, and
you were there."
This story makes me wonder of the great mysteries around us.
It's a rabbit hole. I had something similar. If I ever get married in church. Will never say until death do us part..but may Jesus always keep us united
The Bermuda triangle is a legend all its own…
@Mariaschild I'm a Christian and don't believe in reincarnation but that Jesus keep us forever is beautiful sentiment. It makes one wonder why things like this happen?😮
Ikr@@irenecantu5436
Your comment is shit. Were you in battle? No.
"Even though we never met...she drew me in a pink tutu!".
So... were you in a pink tutu?
"No..."
Luke, I just wanna say thank you for all the content you’ve been giving us lately between this channel and Redacted. You are a great story teller and I enjoy the way you present stories. I also appreciate how you respectful you are. This TH-cam channel in particular has become one of my favorites. May God bless you and continue to be with you, sir.
-Sincerely, a civilian
"Dating can be tough." No qualifiers are needed for that statement.
What's this word "dating" you speak of?
@@argonaut_jay You know -- measuring how much of a radioactive isotope, often Carbon-14, is left in an object as a way of determining the object's age.
I was in the US Coast Guard and I served on a VERY haunted ship.
Would you be willing to share some please I like haunted stories! :)
@@christianpalmer
I don't want to type it all out, it was a 2 year tour and so much stuff happened. At times, especially early on, I thought I was going crazy, I kept hearing things, even NAMES in my head, like someone was telling me.
@TheCountofToulouse oh ok I understand, thank you for your service!
@@TheCountofToulouseI know how you feel. What I've done is typed out my experience. I waited 9 years after my encounter with whatever it was to write it down. I've also rewriiten my account several times to compare with my first drafts to see if my memory was consistant. I was Military Police so I approached my own experience as if I was investigating myself. If anything, writing things down helps keeps facts straight and you don't add or alter details. Someday it might be relavant again, your former ship might make a story and you can compare notes. Keeps you from going crazy because next thing you know 20 years go by and you wonder if it was real or if you dreamed it.
I don’t know, man maybe I’m just that kind of person because I watch these type of things and believe in them, but if I really met a woman and is the things that I felt or described where half of what the story is, I’m I’m trying to explore that because who gets those opportunities in this in this way right in this type of story maybe it’s different as I see other people in the comments but I’m just saying in this type of way how could you not pursue that I meanwhat wonders could be unlocked what things could be shared you know I don’t know I’m just saying it sucks that they never got together.
Listening to this story I cant help but feel a sense of sorrow for these people, separated by time and space and love for others but not for their true selves/ each other.
Despite my own Christian upbringing I too have had a sense of past lives. When I was under the age of four, I used to get absolutely terrified of water over my head, something that my parents could not explain. I also began to draw vivid images of ships of sail battling it out on the high seas, something that could be explained by my early fascination with ships of war in the 17th through 19th centuries but the one image I could never explain was a drawing I used to do quiet frequently, soldiers with helmets and long spears, cannons and horses fighting together. I would draw it constantly as a young child. It wasnt until I was an adult that I would find alot of images of the Tercio, a spanish battle formation that would be utilized quiet frequently during the 16th and 17th centuries. I am of Spanish decent and my family has alot of heritage here in the new world. It makes me wonder.
Strong Christian views and values as well. But I do believe we are in soul groups and do you have past lives.
There are answers that don't involve past lives. The first is, of course, that such memories are "logismoi"; the fallen spirits can put images and sense impressions in your mind. The kids nowadays call them "intrusive thoughts".
The other option, of course, is that you actually have ancestors who fought in past Spanish wars, and what you're experiencing is sense impressions and memories from them passed down in your soul. We inherit our spirit from our ancestors the same way we inherit our bodies; we're a unique spiritual patchwork of our parents, their parents, etc.
@daniellewis5533 that has been my current understanding as well, something not explained in my christian beliefs. Regardless either way it is not important, this is the life i am responsible for and have been gifted by my creator, I will be responsible for my decisions. Its not impossible that God wouldn't allow someone to return in a manner conducive with a higher plan but either way it is what it is.
Thank god you uploaded this during my lunch break, I’m having a really rough day and needed a good Wartime story
Agreed. I'm only 2 minutes into this video and it reminded me of the 3 British soldiers who walked into a village from the 1500s ,with not a soul there except them. I'm pretty sure it was on this channel also
I hope you feel better soon ❤ some days happy really is a mindset And inside job and we have to activate it when the day is letting us down . Perhaps try these steps :
take a moment and think of maybe 5 good things about today. Maybe your hair looks good or you got somewhere early or someone paid you a complement.......
Now try to think of 5 blessings of the day : food in your belly? Warmth in the cold of winter?
Ok good , now go find someone who needs help or someone who is having a worse day then you and be supportive.
It's amazing how things like this can turn a day around or at least my feelings about it.
You got this sis , keep that head up and just keep swimming, just keep swimming....❤❤❤❤❤
I feel ya. Felt like a long week on Wednesday. 😂
I hope your day got better. 🙁
You got this.
Man, this video brought back strong memories and emotions. I experienced something very similar to John’s story just 5 years ago. A part of me wished I didn’t experience it because it really shook me to my core. I went deep into a rabbit hole, trying to make sense of it all, and I eventually went into depression. My “Barbara” in this life (who was a coworker of mine) is also with someone else. I never had the guts to talk to her about everything I was feeling and experiencing because I was afraid she would think I’m crazy. She eventually left the company because her job became way too stressful for her. Since she left, I decided not to contact her anymore (which was sooo difficult for me to do), but I’m glad I did because it really helped me move on with my life. I believe if my “Barbara” and I are meant to be together again in this lifetime, it’ll happen. But if not, I wish her nothing but the best, and I’m sure I’ll see her again in another lifetime.
Your ad read is so true. People shouldnt be afraid to talk to someone, especially your fellow vets, lord knows what you've all experienced
This incident is eerily similar to that one well known incident that happened in England i believe? Where soliders were training or something and tume warped into a medieval type of village where everything looked way before their time and saw nobody.
True, it has the same ring about it: I think that story was covered on this channel, too, a few months ago.
Yes I was thinking about that story also.
He covered this one. He Kersey Tine Slip
Pretty elaborate story to tell his wife to explain having relations with a rando on the beach 😂
Lol :D.
Hahaha that was my thought as well the dude went full on to justify his actions hahaha in the words of Sheldon Cooper it is un unravelable
I so desperately wanted John and Barbara to get together 😭😭😭
I felt the Exact same way, even felt a little melancholy … so surreal yet wow
me too... the story doesn't say if john eventually found someone else. It sounds like he didn't and it that makes me ponder on how these types of supernatural discoveries can be both, a blessing and a curse.
@@afarewell2arms567 It says he married twice and has children and grandchildren.
@afarewell2arms567 It was supposed to be her. Leave it to a woman to just completely ignore the universe sending her an unbelievable message. Never fails.
And of course SHE blew it. Just completely ignored the universe.
This is by far one of the best stories I've heard here. I was having chills all over my body while listening to it. I have not yet found the love of my life, and I'm 43. Yea, it's kind of sad, but I'm also happy I haven't been one to just get together with someone for the sake of it. I am a loner so it works, but I often think about how it could be. There have been a few times during my life that I have felt like John regarding someone I've meet. But they were always already taken. That's why it makes me sad to hear that John and Barbara never meet again, and that they never won each other.
ha ha...maybe be thankful that you didnt meet yer dream girl,,?...i sound twattish of course, but i lived with the love of my life for the last 24 years...then she died in february.........and her italian family have claimed ...well everything...xxx...peace
Such a heartbreaking but beautiful story.
Wow Luke. Just wow. This is probably my favorite Wartime Stories that you have ever posted. Wonderful story and well told and documented. Thank you for all the hard work that you and your team does.
I've spent my entire life feeling like I have unfinished business from a life I never lived, memories I shouldn't have, and dreams of people I know but never met. A psychic told me I had been killed in a war in a recent past life. To this day, I can't watch anything related to WW1 without first having a panic attack and then slipping into a deep depression. When I was four, I would dream about being trapped in a hole filled with fire and smoke and dirt. It's hard to reconcile that with being raised a Christian, but my lived experience makes me believe more in reincarnation than heaven.
This was definitely one of the best "Wartime Stories" yet.Thank you.
This story reminds me of the Moberly Jourdain incident, where two women visited the Palace of Versailles in 1901 and allegedly experienced a time slip where they went back to the days before the Revolution... obviously I have no way of knowing if this really happened but it's a great story.
I remember reading about it.
This is one of the best wartime stories.
This one hit hard for some reason. This is truly a magnificent channel. To the creators, thank you.
Luke, this is by far my favorite story on this channel. The storytelling was fantastic, and the story itself just so surreal and captivating.
I myself have also encountered a gal who I from the first time I saw her, felt like we had known each other before that. Today, a decade later, we are still friends, even though we have followed different paths.
This is a beautiful story, and it's fascinating! Luke's voice adds a depth to the narrative that can weave the listeners' imagination into a fantastic mental picture! I'm so glad that he teamed up with Ballen Studios, or I may not have discovered this awesome channel!
This has got to be one of your best videos! Thank you for this.
Thanks, Bro. You've helped me open up more about my experiences during my time in the Army, both normal experiences and those not so normal.
Times are tough so I appreciate a new wartime story. ❤
That story is heartbreaking!
How so?
If they met in another life, they will likely meet again. It means time isn't linear and neither is our existence.
The first time i heard your story telling i absolutely felt in love with your voice and from that day i always listen to your story and i'm always hype for the next upload. Thank you for delivering us a great story and your podcast REDACTED is awesome i have never purchased any premium stuff in apps but because of you i actually purchased one. Keep it up 👍
Second!!!!!
What an amzing channel, you upload so frequently, it constantly surprises me, and the quality of the recent videos only seems to be IMPROVING. Unreal, honestly.
Thx again Luke!
This was one of your best Luke! Right up there with "The Kitsune". But better because that was admittedly fiction. It was bittersweet for sure. I felt so bad for John and his inner turmoil of how much he should tell Barbara, not wanting to interfere in her life.
I had a very wierd thing happening with my cat. She is only about 6 or 7 pounds and is a black torbie. Mainly black with a white bib and socks with little ginger sprinkled in, and she used to somehow get behind you on a window shelf behind the toilet. It freaked me out because the floor is whitish and not a lot of room and she would somehow get on that shelf all the time without ever seeing her pass in front of me or my wife. It scared the crap out of me the first few times. Then she went out the front door one night and I backed away then turned around and she was sitting on a table. She has gotten past my brother when he was standing in the doorway with it barely open and his feet in the way. We went out and there she was. It used to happen a lot. I believe these might be tiny little time slips. You see her in one part of the house and walk into another room and there she is. Sort of creepy, but funny too as she just sits there with her head cocked to the right going "What? Did I do something?" Glad that stopped.
A beautiful (and tearful) story.
I enjoy watching all of Wartime Stories - but this one really touched my heart.
As I watched this episode, I kept thinking to myself - this would make a great feature film.
Thank you Luke for sharing :)
Hamlet, “There is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Admittedly there exist these moments defying logic. However, I believe there must be a rational explanation for these type of experiences.
It's really sad... And many times, no matter how much you want it to come true, it doesn't. Either through your own insecurities, fears, anxieties or because of other factors you do not control. All you can really do is move on. Hearing this story made me feel melancholic as well. Even though times have changed and there is someone really special you can still feel that nagging question :"what if...?" ... No point in living in the past, though. What's done is done. Not every story has a happy ending.
Bermudian here😂😂🖖🏿❤🙋🏿♂️ saying hello from Bermuda 🇧🇲 . Luv the show my g😊👊🏿
The beauty of this incident is perceivable only to those who have faced similar situation.
Its three years now that I got married to the love of my life - someone who was in love with me under similar circumstances of a place and a weather not normal.
There is love across life times - so many are in love and are not together, so many are together but not in love.
Not me and my wife 😊 .We are happy that we found each other to grind, quarrel and be blind in love .
This episode slapped. The descriptions were vivid and the pacing was great. Keep it up man!
Is "slapped" the new "cool" word?
An awful lot of people seem to think so.
@WartimeStories One of the best yet on production. Voice actors and sound effects were great, had me shed at tear or two even sharing your story with your sponsor promo, well done Luke.
It's fascinating that there are lots of stories about reincarnation that have solid evidence
I havnt watched your movie yet but you reminded me of a man i met at work. 40 years ago. He said his father was in a blizzard in the 30s or 40s driving his semi he got lost came across a farm they took pitty on him, took him in for the night or two he thanked them and left. Sometime there after he went back to say hello... The farm was not there. He told his son this story then that man told me. I thought it was god but IDK.
I believe that there are occasional guardians of some variety that have the ability to help us from time to time. Too many stories of people encountering that 👍
I was a 19 year old midshipman and met an FC3 at the base in San Diego. I felt like we had met before. Never saw him again after those couple of weeks but this story hit me hard. These experiences are definitely real.
I got a good love story about crossing patha before dating/marriage/ family.
I missed bus & walked to high school. I saw a pretty girl walking towards me after she didn't get off at her Jr high stop. So she had to foot it over a catwalk bridge were we first seen each other. I remember everything she wore. I glitched & look back saying damn she to young. Kept it moving. Then 4 years later I move with my father a house down from her family. We become friends but no relationship yet. I was dating & she was too. The Elder Lady who lived in between us who we helped out from time to time was going to a nursing home. The lady told us she was going to give us her us because we were going be together and raise a family at her house. We were blown by her revelation. Our friendship became love and marriage happened. House was given to us( we payed back taxes though) . Fixed it up and gave thanks & 4 kids later and 24 yrs happily ever. Life Is so good take the chances people. Live to be your best self
Absolute banger way to start a drive at work
Luke, this was one of your best episodes, and one of the coolest, most complex/layered stories you have done!
Wish John and Barbara could have ended up together. Lol
Couldn’t be better timed. I’m just about to get ready for bed. Thank you Luke, I love watching your videos
Thanks!

@@bighil89 that's what she told him.
That is one of the best stories ever told, extremely well read, and I believe that to be the truth. Very well put together, and the animations were excellent. Thank you 🙏
Geomagnetic anomalies picking the usual lock on linear time is indeed a fascinating phenomenon. Sometimes the same worlds, each from different times, collide with fantastic effect.
Beautiful and sad story. There have been far too many people who have had that, 'I've been here before, and I know exactly what's round the corner', moments or, the moment they have met someone they have felt they already know them somehow, and the feeling has been mutual. Who truly knows why?
Though, not the same, when I was a kid I had a reoccurring dreams of walking with a tall man up the hill leading to the top of Brean Downs in Somerset, England where I live. We were going to see the old Fort. I knew he was my grandad, and it was a lovely memory, but when I told my sister, she told me I was making it up because I never met grandad. But I KNEW I had met him and made that walk.
The thing is, she had a good reason not to believe me. He had died a year before I was born. He died in 1971, I was born in 1972. But it happened over and over again, and I remember him so clearly, even now, the dream is crystal clear and vivid, the smell of the sea, and the sound, his big warm hand, me practically trotting to keep up even though he walked slowly. It was a bright, overcast day. It was a happy event. I was with grandad, just the two of us, and we were going to see the old fort! My grandad was a tall man, 6'7" and as I remember from the dream, my arm was right up straight as he held my hand. I had never seen a photo of him before, but when I did, I recognised him.
My gran told me that perhaps I HAD taken that walk with him in another time or reality, or perhaps he had been coming to see his granddaughter in the only way he could.
You made grandpa cry a little😊
YES!!! I always get super pumped to see a new story.... I wish they were added to Spotify as quickly as TH-cam I usually prefer listening at work for the first couple hours before the day really starts.
3:51 I have a friend. Grew up in Wichita Kansas, where I live now(I'm from L.A.). Wichita is small compared to where I'm from, so I'm not going to say any identifying information. My friend is a veteran. A wonderful human. We were talking about therapy, and they said something along the lines of, "Yea, ok California." Scoff and eyeroll. You get it. So I sneakily suggested MrB and Wartime Stories, specifically because the channels are amazing and often speak on your time in the service and how much therapy helps. You both have made a difference. And I would bet my friend is not alone. Truly, thank you ❤
That was one of the most incredible stories of any kind that I've heard. Thanks for sharing.
This channel is so good and I’ve gotten so much late night-shift entertainment from it- I’m going to go back and like all the videos I forgot to like the first time I watched them.
I don’t know about past lives, but I’m a filmmaker, and a friend of mine who was taking an acting class texted me a picture from his textbook of a Russian actor from the 1800s who looked almost identical to me. My dad’s side of the family goes back to Germany/Prussia. No idea of any relation, but the likeness was striking.
I wish to speak to this guardsman. Immediately.
I love this Fandom 😂

Finally! A Coast Guard story! Semper Paratus.
What a treat on this rainy day.
Great Job as Usual Luke. This story gave me chills
It’s so cute how she asked him for a kiss and he nervously agreed like “ohh… ok. Yeah." Lol that’s adorable. I really liked the art in this episode, it was whimsical and different. It really fits the story and atmosphere. So nice watching you talk but kind of weirdly disorienting from the perspective of a viewer who has been listening to you for years now. It’s as if your image and voice haven’t quite melded together for me, yet. You’re really good looking btw - your wife must be adorable, too. Hope this takes your channel to the next level! The Mr. Ballen effect. You certainly deserve every single view! I’ll be watching every upload!
Where is my soul mate? I don’t think I have one, maybe it is a myth that you have one, or maybe I was evil in another life…. If I had a one.. if i had a soul mate , it was probably my dog. Edit, never mind, Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Xmas to you too. And may you meet " the one" in 2025. 🙂
@ oh thank you! And to you! 🎄♥️. No offence meant my friend, but I’m not looking for a soul mate. Im just curious about the notion or concept of a ‘soul mate’ in general.
WILD. Great video.
So kinda similar but, me and my grandmother have always been incredibly close. Ever since I was born my grandmother always said she suspected we'd known each other before, and could never explain why. Well, fast forward to when I was like 14. Unbeknownst to me she had a past life reading/hypno session thing. Whatever it was. The only clear things she got was images of her being a little kid on a farm in what felt like the late 1800s. Fields, a large brown barn, and a little boy she would play with, her brother. Followed by a very gloomy and sad memory of a train station.
A few years later, she had me come to the same person and have them try it with me. It had worked, because I don't remember hardly any of being put under, but I opened my eyes to my grandmother in tears. They played the audio back and I heard my voice recount growing up on a farm. Playing with my sister by the big brown barn. Looking out at the fields. Saying goodbye at a train station, and lastly an image of the side of a ship. They then told me it's exactly as she had said when hers was done, only from the other perspective. Its still a very very surreal feeling even just retelling it.
Should do more videos on towns just being abandoned overnight. Surprisingly, there is a lot of cases around the world.
Edit: Also was a case where a military force vanished too.
Agreed. Always a super creepy topic in my opinion.
The WW1 hill charge?
This is outstanding. It sounds less like a witness account and more like a story. However, this story is a good one!
42:52 and _what a story_ it was!
Luke thx for sharing, as no one tells a story quite like you.. you have the perfect voice for it... Thx again and take care my friend and God Bless...
2:42 Sorry, Brother. But I would get a hotel room. Some things can't be undone. SFDD

One of the most under-rated channels. It should be in millions when it comes to subs.
I'm probably going to be a huge party pooper, but while this is a beautiful story, I have a couple of issues with it.
- As far as I was able to research, the great Hurricane of 1780 never made landfall at Bermuda. The bulk of it hit the modern day Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Bermuda is like a thousand miles north of that. Is it possible that some of the outskirt winds hit Bermuda? Sure, but it's hard to imagine this would have wiped off an entire village. I also couldn't find any records of big scale destruction or deaths on Bermuda in 1780.
- It's very strange that Sir John and Lady Barabra would have been called/known as such. A title usually comes attach with a place and gets added to the full name, Sir John XXX of somewhere for example. I again also couldn't find any records of a Sir John and Lady Barbara living on Bermuda in 1780. Assuming that John indeed was a famous navy hero and got knighted by King George and that Lady Barbara was of noble blood, shouldn't there at the very least be some records of their supposed demise?
- Assuming they got married in 1764 and met at the same age as their reincarnations did later, Lady Barbara would have been 19 in 1764, which would have made her about 35 in 1780. Given the time and medical knowledge at the time, it's, while not impossible, hard to believe that the couple wouldn't have tried to have children earlier, or that Lady Barbara would have been able to carry out a baby at that age, let alone the unborn child surviving the most devastating Hurricane in recorded history.
The whole story being told under the premises of the Bermuda triangle, which is infamous for countless exaggerated, if no straight up made up stories, certainly doesn't help in this case.
I don't want to take anything away from anyone, again, it's a beautiful story and you can believe/take away from it whatever you want, as well as stuff like déjà vu or strange experiences are a very real thing. But Personally, I call bull on this one.
A cursary search brought Wikipedia which has cited articles and reads: October 18, 1780 - After emerging from the Lesser Antilles, where it establishes itself as the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, the Great Hurricane of 1780 devastates Bermuda,[3] likely passing southeast of the islands.[23] Some fifty ships are driven ashore with the storm surge, and vast swaths of trees are uprooted; the town of St. George's is left with a "completely denuded air." Many homes are demolished. Famine and a smallpox epidemic take hold in the aftermath of the hurricane.[
This was so good! Thanks for the work and effort! Hearing from John himself added so much to his story.
Just when I thought it was safe to join the Coast Guard to avoid the Army...Happy Friday the 13th, wsj!
Woooooooow!!! One of your best yet, Luke! Amazing story and impeccably told, as always. Thank you!
This was an amazing episode, thank you.
It's uncanny how striking a connection in a few moments with someone can turn our whole world, our dreams and expectations around. It's unsettling how we can attribute certain things to fate and how we can get absolutely torn apart if our hopes don't see fulfilment. Love is one thing, this was just so beautiful and sad. This was an amazing upload.
Wait a minute: she's afraid of drowning, likes being on solid ground, AND SHE WAS A NAVY NURSE? something doesn't jive...
Being on a big ship and actually being in the water swimming can be different to some. Very rarely do big ships ever come close to capsizing, but doing something that requires you to actually be in the water...diver, Navy Seal etc that's a lot different. I don't like deep water, but have no problem on a big ship
And Navy nurses in the 1960s definitely did not serve on ships. Naval hospitals are land-based structures and commands.
No kidding...
This is one of the best stories you have done.
Lifeguard Sailor cheats on fiance -- makes up crazy story to justify
😂 I'm also feeling pretty cynical about this one. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
If those were John’s conversation skills on display and she came across the space time continuum to be with him again, she really really loves him 😂
You voice is top notch. I love listening to you.
Nothing better than putting on wartime stories before bed and drifting off to sleep
I guess I missed the portal. John seems to think he physically moved through time, and Barbara seems to think that in a separate past life, she may have lived on Bermuda. This story alluded to a bunch of perfectly normal coincidences, none of which confirms that either John or Barbara was right in either opposing account. I'm sure it felt weird from their own subjective points of view, but rationally speaking, neither conclusion makes much sense. The world is weird like that. Still an interesting story though.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours Luke. Love the stories buddy please keep them coming. God bless
Hmmm yes Time, I’ve heard of that….. rumors of it at least……
Best storytelling till date in your channel 👍🏻
My stepfather was a coasty, sadly passed this past Thanksgiving.
This is one of your best episodes so far.
If theres one thing that could or would debunk a true "grandfather paradox" its that every instance of these time slips, removes any other person except for the person/people that are participating in the time slip itself.
No BearanormalPodcast...you are confused.
This recounting of the paranormal experience of the guy in The Coast Guard also included Captain Sam. When he showed John his painting of his Great, Great
Grandparents...Sir John & Lady Barbara...he became part of the paranormal. Present-day John & Barbara are look-a-likes & they have memories of the 17th Century Village, etc. Captain Sam was clearly a pivotal aspect in this paranormal experience & he most likely believed John & Barbara are the reincarnations of his Great, Great Grandparents.

@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I think youre the one whos confused, Captain Sam was not in the time slip experience he was in the present day timeline. Maybe go back and listen to it again.
Yeeeesssss! Exactly what I needed today! A new video from Luke! And almost an hour long… yeeessss. Let’s goooo. Thanks, man!
