Folks In This Online Group Shared 30 Stories Of Kids Showing Signs They Might Have Lived A Life Before Their Current One
There is such a philosophical or religious concept of reincarnation. It suggests that a person’s soul is immortal and when the body perishes the soul moves on to be reborn in a new body. There is no way to prove it as nobody found out what happens to a person’s consciousness when they die but there are indications that lead some people to believe it is actually real.
Most of those cases are related to children. Sometimes they say just nonsensical things but occasionally they might say or do something that is out of character to them or requires specific knowledge. Like remembering names of real people they have never met or heard being mentioned or remembering specific places.
The unexplainable source of such knowledge might creep parents out and make them believe their children are actually confusing their lives with their past ones. There are so many of these stories that even further prove the theory. We collected the best ones from a Reddit thread started by poopcornkernels when they asked “Parents of Reddit, what has your child done to make you think they lived a past life?” Let us know if you have any similar stories in the comments!

My mom loves to tell this story:
When I was young, I really wanted to learn Russian, so they got me into a class. In general, Russian was very easy to pick-up and use. It sort of "made sense" and I could construct complex sentences. The teacher told my mother that it was spooky, because I could speak it in a way that they hadn't been teaching me (I could figure-out colloquial phrases). To this day, I still have it and haven't lost my Russian.
Lord Mysticlaw 3 years ago
This is fascinating but I need to know things like how old was OP, was the teacher familiar with teaching kids, did OP hear Russian anywhere else... in short, kids' ability to aquire a language is truly astounding and mind-boggling.
Daria B 3 years ago (edited)
Also, maybe school wasn't the only learning source, perhaps? If the kid was so passionate about the language, they probably seeked out further learning material, and Russia happens to be rich with literature and filmography. Lots of colloquial speech to be learnt from there, and applied in emulated situations.

If your first language is from the slavic language family, there is nothing spooky about it. They are enough similar.

The story doesn't say that their first language was slavic. Did I miss something that mentioned that ?

My friend had a miscarriage before she had her first daughter. A few years ago when her daughter was about 4 a group of us were at a party and her daughter was sitting on her lap and said something along the lines of "I'm sorry I left you before mommy. I was hurting really bad and I wasn't ready." My friend asked her was she meant and her daughter said she left her before she was born but came back. Super creepy. Daughter doesn't remember this conversation and still doesn't know about the miscarriage.

I asked my son once who he was before he was my son. He was small, maybe 3
He looked at me sadly and said, 'It was dark and cold and I wasn't anything. Just all by myself..'
And then be perked up and said 'And before that I had black wings and I flew! And I'd take shiny stuff because all shiny things are MINE!'
And that is how I realized my son was magpie in his past life. And gave me a clue where to find my missing earrings. (He had a hidden cache of jewelry in his room, the little imp.).

Cute but kind of cringy. Might want to nip his taking things in the bud really quick and teach him that that's not right. Could turn into a learned behavior (if it hasn't already) and that "cuteness" could turn into something far more serious as he gets older.

When my sister was 3 she would go on and on about her brother, Brian. We're all girls, and we don't know where she would have heard the name. But it was all, Brian does this Brian and me used to do that, on and on. Thinking Brian was an imaginary friend I asked her where Brian was now. She said "he's passed away, I am, too. The bomb got us and our house is gone." Very weird.

When my niece had just turned 4, I was living with her and her mum to help take care of her whilst her mum was at work. Normal silly kid. One day at breakfast she's really upset, I ask her, "Claire, what's wrong?" She looked at me with such sad eyes and said, it's Emily. I asked who Emily was and she got more upset, and said, No, my name is Emily. I must have looked at her confused and paused because she then started crying and said, why don't you remember me? You were there too! (I asked where) and she continued to be go smacked that I didn't know what she was talking about. She cried and said, in the War, you were there too, when the soldiers came and we had to lie down in the ditches in the field in the village. I asked what war, she said, the one with the whole world, that the bad men came, and eventually that we were in France. Next day she had literally zero memory of it. Was one of the most bizarre but amazing experiences I've ever had

Whether they could have had a house destroyed by the bombs i do not know, but its certainly possible. I dont know..its odd, there was just something about this story that made my heart stop..

My 3y/o niece, in a hotel near her home "I've been here. I used to sit in this chair and knit." Wouldn't say anything else when pressed further.

My daughter would freak out and start crying and screaming while repeating. "Why! Why! I got married, I just got married, I got married." Over and over again with this tone filled with grief that I never heard come out of a child so small. 2 and 1/2 is pretty young to be sobbing you're heart out.

So I am raised Roman Catholic. My son is raised Roman Catholic. But I was dating this muslim guy who would play prayers constantly (that were on YouTube). This particular day my boyfriend was playing a prayer that's supposed to protect you from jinn. My three year old son looked up from his colouring book said clear as day "now they will be gone for 1000 days" my boyfriend looked him dead in the eye and was like "how do you know that?" My son smiled shrugged and continued to colour.
I don't know if this is true but my boyfriend explained that if you recited that specific prayer it was supposed to banish evil spirits for 1000 days. To this day I still get chills when I think about it.

This is interesting cause if this guy is super religious to play prayers on YouTube, he would not have a girlfriend with whom have sex and such cause it would have been accounted as adultery. On the other hand, if he was super religious, he would not have a relationship with a Roman Catholic cause it would have been against their religious beliefs. Even though I don't support what I have said above, this is how it works with super religious Muslims.

Muslim men can marry women from any religion and maybe his girlfriend already had a child from previous relationships and he was just supporting here. STOP making assumptions here.but in any case it is definitely against religious beliefs to date.

When my oldest son was three, he used to wake up crying and saying that he wanted to "go home". Over and over he would repeat it. I would reassure him that everything was okay, he was at home. Happens for many months. We had a huge map of the world in the hallway and one night when he was upset, I took him to the map and showed him where we lived and asked, where his other home was. He pointed out a small town in Mexico. Day after day he pointed to the same exact place. So, we took him there. It was a beautiful little area and we had a great time. There was nothing profound in any of his reactions. When we got home he started sleeping through the night and never mentioned it again. We live in California and my husband and and I are both white. However, our son is adopted and although his bio father is technically "unknown", we were told it is probable that he was Hispanic.

Omg my daughter who was two - 3 years old would cry and have night terrors. She would scream in her sleep and one night she was talking in Chinese. We do not speak Chinese. I tired to comfort her and wake her up. She started telling me she wanted to go home and I was not her mother (in English). She then went on to say she lived between two rivers in China and a man killed her with rocks when she was washing her clothes in the river. The night terrors went on for a year and she never remembered anything.

Vivid imagination key words. Not saying I don't believe every story but children listen to and absorb everything. When your child is playing on the ground and you think they're not paying attention they are in fact listening to every word and storing it their mind for later. I can say this for certain as I was a former Child.

Its sad only because children at 2 or 3 years wouldnt be able to physically say half the stuff these people claim, and the older ones 4-8 are so easily confused between dreams and photographs, and hearing stuff from random places.

There was a particular house my mom used to drive past, I was about 3 or 4; every time, I told her that I used to live there. She told me we'd never lived there, but I told her that when I lived there, my name was Mandy, and I had long blonde hair and a long blue dress. Turned out my mom had once been there at a party shortly after meeting my father; they met playing tennis and the older couple who lived there had given a party my parents had attended. They'd had a 17 year old daughter named Mandy, she had long blonde hair and had been wearing a long blue dress when she had been killed in a car accident 5 years before that particular party.

I can relate to these, because I remember saying some of this stuff. My family used to laugh at me because I would try to tell them about when I was 20, except I was about 6 or 7. But I really did want to tell them about when I was grown up. I also remembered a castle I used to live in and roughly where it was, near some marshland. In my teens, a librarian helped me find it in a book of English castles, in a marshy area, with the features I remembered. Except it didn't have the smaller waist high wall I used to sit on, that went around the castle itself. Librarian did more research and found that the castle did have that wall, but it had sunk into the marsh, estimated 400+ years ago. I understand this subject is ridiculous for many, as are most things when never experienced personally.

For the skeptics, don't be so sure. I'm the most fact-based, evidence-demanding person in the world; I don't believe in gods or demons or any other supernatural things. But it is not at all uncommon for children to say things that suggest that reincarnation might actually be a thing. Three years old seems to be a very common age for this -- it's possible that the memories happen earlier but it's only at 3 or 4 that they have the words to express these experiences. My daughter at that age said (at various times) things that she could not possibly have heard or seen on TV. Once she turned to me and said, "I couldn't kill my brother yesterday. That's why there wasn't enough food. After all, I was supposed to be a preacher man." And, yes, that's verbatim. It was over 15 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. There were other, less dramatic statements as well, but that one was the oddest.

I clearly remember sitting on my bed looking out the window of our tiny house as a 4 year old, crying my eyes out, wishing I could ‘go back’ because I was so miserable. ‘Go back’ to the white stone house that had a small tower, on a green hill in Scotland. I hated my life (we were pretty poor) and my family, and didn’t want to be there anymore. Not a dream. Not a tv show. Not a book I read because I couldn’t read and my parents never read to me. Never been to Scotland. I can still see that house in my mind. So all you nay-sayers can bite me.

Sometimes I think it's our genetics 🧬 that are passed down to us and maybe we inherited a few memories from our blood lines.

I'm Turkish and since my high school days, there's this phrase in English which I don't remember where on when I heard it. It is "Theirs not to make reply, theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die." I find myself saying this phrase since high school days and never asked the reason why (PUN) Even I learned the meaning of the phrase while studying university I kept checking it online to see what movie, or series I heard it and it turned out it was a poem called "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Lord Tennyson written in 1854.

Its sad only because children at 2 or 3 years wouldnt be able to physically say half the stuff these people claim, and the older ones 4-8 are so easily confused between dreams and photographs, and hearing stuff from random places. My youngest sister would claim to be "there" when looking at old albums when obviously she wasn't born and no one in the events had died. Adults read all kinds of stuff into natural human behavior.

I don't know which is worst, the pure absurdity of these claims or the comments of the ppl dumb enough to buy into it.

There was a particular house my mom used to drive past, I was about 3 or 4; every time, I told her that I used to live there. She told me we'd never lived there, but I told her that when I lived there, my name was Mandy, and I had long blonde hair and a long blue dress. Turned out my mom had once been there at a party shortly after meeting my father; they met playing tennis and the older couple who lived there had given a party my parents had attended. They'd had a 17 year old daughter named Mandy, she had long blonde hair and had been wearing a long blue dress when she had been killed in a car accident 5 years before that particular party.

I can relate to these, because I remember saying some of this stuff. My family used to laugh at me because I would try to tell them about when I was 20, except I was about 6 or 7. But I really did want to tell them about when I was grown up. I also remembered a castle I used to live in and roughly where it was, near some marshland. In my teens, a librarian helped me find it in a book of English castles, in a marshy area, with the features I remembered. Except it didn't have the smaller waist high wall I used to sit on, that went around the castle itself. Librarian did more research and found that the castle did have that wall, but it had sunk into the marsh, estimated 400+ years ago. I understand this subject is ridiculous for many, as are most things when never experienced personally.

For the skeptics, don't be so sure. I'm the most fact-based, evidence-demanding person in the world; I don't believe in gods or demons or any other supernatural things. But it is not at all uncommon for children to say things that suggest that reincarnation might actually be a thing. Three years old seems to be a very common age for this -- it's possible that the memories happen earlier but it's only at 3 or 4 that they have the words to express these experiences. My daughter at that age said (at various times) things that she could not possibly have heard or seen on TV. Once she turned to me and said, "I couldn't kill my brother yesterday. That's why there wasn't enough food. After all, I was supposed to be a preacher man." And, yes, that's verbatim. It was over 15 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. There were other, less dramatic statements as well, but that one was the oddest.
