Give the kid some credit. He remembered his first name, he knew the name of his carrier, the type of plane he flew, his best friends name, exactly what day he died and where, that he was James the III (in previous life his father was James and he was James), he knew where his plane was hit (right in the nose). That is a lot for a toddler.
I will admit it might not be reincarnation. The kid maybe tuning into some kind of universal mind. I doubt it is posession as there doesnt seem to be any harm to anyone.
I do and tend to accept the account at face value. It's not his fault he has been terrorized by some entity. Look at what he has been through. It isn't something most parents would want for their kids and is something that could require psychological help which can lead one into even further trauma rather than healing.

Yeah, just like Edgar Cayce. I see the boy as a victim of something or somebody very likely not of this world. He remembered his first name, he knew the name of his carrier, the type of plane he flew, his best friends name, exactly what day he died and where, that he was James the III (in previous life his father was James and he was James), he knew where his plane was hit (right in the nose).

Knowledge of the unknown now known. A nice way to lure people into desiring it for themselves. What is a better power trip than to be privy to knowledge that is denied most of us? What could we do with such knowledge if only we possessed it? If we are meant to know hidden things, the Christian God can supply it according to his will and not some possible fallen creature's or that of some poor, lost soul which it sounds like may be the case here.
The airman died a sudden death and may have been spiritually unprepared, we don't know if he had a Christian burial, etc., etc.
