When Luke Ruehlman began talking about a woman named Pam, his mother Erica assumed it was just an imaginary friend.
She had no idea where her toddler son had picked up the name or why he was so obsessed with it.
The Ohio woman said she initially didn’t think it was strange, other than the fact that the family didn’t know any Pams.
But things became really strange when she quizzed him about where he had got the name from and why he liked it.
The then-two-year-old told his parents he used to be Pam, a girl with black hair, he said.
