Boy claims he's reincarnated as he has eerily perfect memory of being a Hollywood actor

A boy claims he was a Hollywood star in a past life.

A young boy has claimed to be the reincarnation of a Hollywood actor who died nearly 60 years ago.

You can see the kid elaborating on his spooky claims below:

Ryan Hammond, from Oklahoma, USA, made this claim in 2015 when he was ten years old.

The youngster said he had vivid memories of life in Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s - including of being punched by Marilyn Monroe's bodyguards.

He even says that he can remember how he died in a previous life, as he recalls his heart 'exploding' and going towards 'the light'.

Hammond, born in 2004, believes he was Marty Martyn in a past life.

Martyn was a movie extra who later became a successful Tinsel Town agent.

He lived a life of luxury in New York, as he wed four times and took holidays in Paris.

Martyn passed away in 1964 from a brain hemorrhage at the age of 61 - forty years before he was allegedly reborn as Hammond.

Hammond made his claims of a past life from the age of three, although his parents initially didn't believe him.

The boy would beg for his mother to take him to Los Angeles to 'visit his other family' and would wake up in the night calling 'action', as if on a movie set.

Hoping to get to the bottom of his past life, Hammond's mum bought a book about Hollywood home from the library.

Once he took a look, Hammond was able to identify actor George Raft in a picture, claiming he 'did a picture' with the star.

When Hammond was six, he was introduced to Marty's daughter by a documentary crew.

He was shown around Los Angeles to visit places associated with the late actor - whose daughter confirms the youngster's claims were accurate.

Apparently, Hammond's memories of his life as Marty have faded over time - although he still shares some traits with the late star, including a love for New York City and Hollywood movies.

One child psychiatrist, Dr Jim Tucker believes Hammond's claims that he was reincarnated.

Dr Tucker said: "The world just doesn't work as we think or assume it does. The cases I have examined don't come under a normal explanation of how we perceive the world."

A chapter of Dr Tucker's book Return to Life focuses on Hammond's case.

Although scientists have not been able to prove either way if reincarnation occurs, many people have claimed to have past-life memories.
