Bongkuch Promsin
A Thai boy who before he was two said he was Chamrat, a young man of Laotian descent from a nearby village who was stabbed to death at a fair in 1954; he named the two suspects, used Laotian words and kept Laotian food habits.
Cevriye Bayrı
A Turkish girl whose first words grew into 'Ramazan killed'; she spoke of being Şehide Süzülmüş, murdered with her husband and two of their children in Adana in 1957, and was said to recognise several of Şehide's friends and relatives.
İsmail Altınkılıç
A Turkish boy who from about eighteen months insisted he was Abit Süzülmüş, a farmer murdered in Adana in 1957 with his wife and two children; his father's demands for money made it one of Stevenson's most closely checked cases, and it is linked to that of Cevriye Bayrı, who remembered being the wife.
Nazih Al-Danaf
A Lebanese Druze boy who from about eighteen months spoke of carrying pistols and grenades and being shot; at six his directions led to the family of Fuad Khaddage, shot dead in Beirut in 1982, whose widow and brother tested him and accepted him as Fuad reborn.
Ramoo and Rajoo Sharma
Indian twin boys who, from about the age of three, said they had been twin brothers from a village 16 kilometres away who were lured to a house and strangled in 1964; they were born with streaks of darker skin across their abdomens, which Stevenson came to link with the poles used to pin the men down.
Sumitra Singh
A young village wife in northern India who in 1985 seemed to die, revived, and said she was Shiva, an educated Brahmin woman found dead on a railway line two months earlier; she recognised many of Shiva's relatives and took on her manners, in what her investigators called a case of the possession type.
