That's Odd Episode 18 - The Ear That Started a War

During the late 1730s, England and Spain were locked in constant conflict over trade routes in the Caribbean.

Also, in the early 1950s, a three year old girl in Sweden begins to insist she is not who her parents think she is. This didn't seem too disturbing until years later when she and her family visited Amsterdam and she was able to navigate the city using memories that should not have existed.
