  • S04E24 - Past Lives
    Dec 9 2025

    Blake and Jeb go In Research Of PAST LIVES with Leonard Nimoy.

    Subjects include reincarnation claims, past-life regression therapy, and some truly baffling Nimoy wardrobe choices.

    Link to YouTube Episode (while it lasts)



    Topics we cover include:

    • Nimoy wandering a Los Angeles graveyard in a strange quasi-military sport coat, and Blake's detective work tying the filming location to Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights.

    • The famous Pollock twins case from Hexham, England, where two girls were said to be the reincarnations of their deceased sisters — and how later research complicates the story.

    • Dr. Lucia Capacchione's art-therapy / inner-child work and how the show uses regression narratives to explain modern psychological problems.

    • Playwright A.J. Stewart (Ada F. Kay), who became convinced she was James IV of Scotland and wrote Falcon: The Autobiography of His Grace James IV King of Scots as if from the king's own perspective.

    • Whether past-life regression therapy produces evidence of reincarnation or just vivid, therapist-shaped fantasy, and why skeptics are so wary of hypnosis-based "memories."

      NFA (Nimoy Fashion Alert):

      Cemetery Detective Work:

      Using the 2nd NFA shot, I was able to decipher the tex on the dark tombstone. It is a lot darker in real life with a modern shot.

      That "Find a Grave" entry includes the exact location where Nimoy was standing for this episode's cemetery shot.

      Jeb asked for an animated gif of the woman in the castle with secret doors:

      The cover of Robert and Loy Young's book about reincarnation:

      The twins at the heart of the British (Hexham!) reincarnation story:

      And I can't help but scream - DON'T GO NEAR THE EDGE!!! This episode is such a cliffhanger.
