Jayme was five years old when he became terrified of water and started talking about being on the ill-fated Titanic when it hit the iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912.
On the LMN show ‘The Ghost Inside My Child’, Jamey's mother described him as an "easy kid" who was always "very happy and joyful." She recalled young Jamey was "terrified of deep water" from an early age, saying: "Jamey would never go down past the stairs of the pool, and even if I would pick him up and take him out into the water, he would completely panic, practically choke you, begging you to take him back into the shallow part of the pool."
The family even recalled a time when Jamey was around three and learning to ride a small bike. He told his sister that he saw his mum riding a little blue bike down the same road as a child.
"I said 'how did you watch me?' (as I'd never mentioned it and didn't have any pictures) and he was kind of indignant about it and said 'well you know there's windows in Heaven mama,'" her mum recalled.
Jamey later started having night terrors where his parents would hear him "thrashing around."
"All of a sudden, he'd come running - he didn't look at you or his surroundings, but he always seemed panicked like he was looking for a way to get out," his mum said.
Then he became obsessed with Titanic after being shown the latter part of the film while he was with a babysitter.
Jamey started drawing images of the Titanic and he had probably painted 50 pictures.
One of the pictures had over 100 windows, another showed all the levels inside the vessel.
"He knew the ship by heart. You can't learn that by watching the movie. The movie was actually more about the love story," she said.
He described the tragedy to his parents at the age of five. He also recalled where the ship went wrong and the materials used to build the Titanic.
"Jamey was completely distraught over the fact that the people in the boiler room died first, like it was his fault that they were trapped," his mother recalled.
"He started talking about the accident itself and how it shouldn't have happened, that there were mistakes, there were corners cut and the men in the boiler rooms should not have been trapped. He would even cry about it," she said.
This led his parents to believe he was connected to the ship's architect, Thomas Andrews.
Thomas Andrews had designed several ships for the White Star Line and would go on all their maiden voyages. On the fateful night in 1912, Thomas chose not to get on a lifeboat and went down with the ship.
When the Titanic exhibition came to Chicago, the family took him there, hoping it might "turn the corner" and "make things better" for him.
But it was after the exhibit that Jamey had what his mum called the "death dream."
"I was home alone with Jamey, he was in bed asleep I was watching television then all of a sudden I heard a bang on his bedroom wall, it was rhythymic, it was bang, bang, bang, bang," she recalled.
"I jumped up and I ran down the hallway and I flung the door open and Jamey was up on all fours on his bed, he was staring at the floor and he was almost convulsing, he was shaking so hard."
"I didn't know what to do, I was terrified and I didn't know if I should shake him out of it and before I could even do anything, he screamed, and I cannot tell you the terror in his voice. He screamed 'she's going down.'"
"It didn't sound like a little boy, it sounded like a man and I just started to cry," she recalled.
But after that night, Jamey began talking less and less about the Titanic.
"I really felt that once he had experienced the memory of the ship sinking, it was over," his mother said.
Jamey then shared his own experience at the age of 19. He, too, believed he was the architect "because of the personality traits and what he did was what I would've done."
"He gave himself up to let others off the ship," he continued.
Jamey said he is now "at peace knowing that he died on the Titanic" and "no longer feels like it's his fault."
