A boy claims that after years he came to terms with the idea that he "died on the Titanic" (4 photos + 1 video)

Jamie was five years old when he developed a fear of water. He began talking about being on board the Titanic when it hit an iceberg and sank.





A college student named Jamie from the US believes that in a past life he was the ill-fated ship's builder Thomas Andrews. His obsession with the ship, which hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912, began when he was just five years old.

The teenager's mother said that he was afraid of the deep from an early age. A few years later, he had a "terrible death dream" in which he screamed that he was drowning.

"He was always very happy and joyful, he loved everything he did. Jamie was a very focused and easy-to-learn child. Everyone in my family loves swimming, we all love water, so we had a pool. Jamie would never go below the pool ladder, and even if I picked him up and carried him into the water, he would panic, practically choke, begging to be taken back. He was afraid of the deep end of the pool," she said in an interview for the program "The Ghost Inside My Child."



Later, Jamie began having nightmares in which his parents heard him talking in his sleep. One night, when she went out and left him with a nanny, she returned in horror to find that he had dreamed the second half of the movie Titanic.

"The next day he started drawing and painting picture after picture of the ship. He probably did about 50 pictures in the first two weeks. He knew the ship by heart. You can't learn that from watching a movie. The movie is really more about love. Jamie was completely upset about the fact that the people in the boiler room died first, as if it was his fault that they were trapped. He started talking about the accident itself and how it shouldn't have happened, that there were mistakes, corners were cut, and people shouldn't have been trapped. He even cried about it," the boy's mother recalls.





One of the drawings showed over 100 windows, while another showed every level inside the ship. Jamie's mum was left in shock after her five-year-old listed some of the mistakes made in the ship's construction, including using iron instead of steel. As her son's obsession grew, she began researching the Titanic and finally came to a conclusion about who the boy could be.

She believed it was one of the ship's shipbuilders, Thomas Andrews, who designed several ships for the White Star Line and was on all of their maiden voyages. On the fateful night of 1912, Thomas decided not to get into a lifeboat and went down with the ship.



The family visited one of the exhibitions dedicated to the sunken ship, after which the boy had a terrible dream about dying on the Titanic.

"I was home alone with Jamie, he was asleep in bed, I was watching TV, and all of a sudden I heard a banging sound on the wall of his bedroom. It was rhythmic: bang, bang, bang, bang. I jumped up, ran down the hall, threw the door open, and Jamie was on all fours on the bed, staring at the floor, and he was almost convulsing, he was shaking so much. I didn't know what to do, I was terrified, and I didn't know if I should wake him. Before I could do anything, he screamed, and I can't tell you the horror in his voice. He screamed, 'She's going down.' It wasn't a little boy's voice, it was a man's voice, and I just burst into tears," she recalls.

After that night, Jamie started talking less and less about the Titanic.

"I really felt like once he remembered the sunken ship, it was all over," the boy's mother added.
