It’s not uncommon for certain sights, smells or sounds to hit one right in the feels and flood the entire nervous system with nostalgia. And while the things that might evoke such a reaction differ from person to person, the feeling itself is a rather universal one.

That’s why many people can relate to said feeling, which often encourages them to seek those who do, too. Cue online groups and communities. Today we want to shed light on the ‘Right In The Childhood’ Facebook group, sharing—yup, you guessed it—nostalgia triggers intended to take people on a journey through time, right back to their childhood. Scroll down to find some of their posts on the list below and see if they can take you back in time, too.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with a Professor of Psychology at Stetson University, Christopher J. Ferguson, Ph.D., who was kind enough to share his insight on the topic.
