“My daughter remembers things that only my mother and I could have known.”
The girl’s past life memories match her mother’s own childhood memories.
“My mother passed away in 2003, and a year later my daughter was born. When she started talking, around the age of two, she began telling me that when she was little, she would climb a big poplar tree, wait for her mother, and feel very hungry. My mother had told me exactly the same story about her own childhood during the war.
Another time, when I decided to punish my daughter by making her stand in the corner, she said to me: “I used to put you in the corner too. You pretended to cry, drawing tears with your saliva. Then I hugged you and we laughed together.”
Until she was five, she told me many other things like that — things only my mom and I could have known.”

“I’m so sorry!”
A three-year-old boy sadly recalled his death in a past life and the family he left behind. It’s hard to believe a child could invent such a story!
“My son was three years old. We were driving in the car, and he was sitting in his child seat, looking thoughtfully at the road ahead. Then, with sadness in his voice, he said: ‘When I was chasing a bandit in my car, he shot at me… there was so much blood. I’m so sorry! I had such a beautiful wife and a small child…’
He turned away and, again very quietly and sadly, said: ‘I’m so sorry.’“

“I Miss My Wife and Son.”
This reincarnation story, told by a three-year-old boy, is similar to the previous one. This child also missed the wife and child he had left behind in a past life.
“My younger brother, when he was three years old, said that he missed his son and wife. We were all stunned to hear such words from a little boy and started asking him what he meant, telling us more. He said that he had a wife and a son, and that he was a pilot, flying in the sky… There was a war, his plane was shot down, and he crashed.
We asked when it happened, and he only said that it was ‘in Soviet times.’ Our parents were shocked, because he was far too young to know such things.
A year later, when he was four, we asked him again about it, and he only said that he missed them. Now he is 25, and when I recently asked him about this story, he didn’t remember ever telling us such things and was very surprised — especially since now he is passionate about aviation and emergency rescue. He even wanted to enroll in an aviation school but didn’t pass the health requirements.”

“Mom, you didn’t believe me back then, but I know I died in the Great Patriotic War.”
A boy once told his mother about his death in a past life during the war. As an adult, he confirmed that he had been telling the truth, not making it up.
“My little son Ilyusha once said to me: ‘Mom, I was killed in the war — shot right in the chest. I was lying at the bottom of a trench, dying.’ I thought he had just taken war films too much to heart and forgot about it.
Then, when he was about 35, he told me again: ‘Mom, you didn’t believe me back then, so I stopped talking about it — but I know I died in the Great Patriotic War. I was an infantryman. I remember the clay walls of the trench, the burnt grass, and the smells of battle.’“

“I always remembered my address from a past life.”
A young woman recognized the house she had remembered since birth.
“When I was little, I always remembered the address where I used to live before. But no one paid any attention to it — they thought it was just a child’s fantasy. Later, I somehow forgot about it.
One day, I was watching a travel video about Italy, the island of Sicily. The host was showing the streets, beautiful houses, and various landmarks. And then I saw an old, beautiful house — my heart began to beat with joy. I recognized it — my home. The address was still the same, and some other people were living there now.
I watched that video many times. The steps were the same, though they had been repaired. The windows had the same shape, and the gate still had those curled patterns.”

“That Car Hit Me!”
Detailed memories of a two-year-old child about how she died in a past life and what happened next.
“I want to share my own contribution to reincarnation stories. When my daughter was only two years old, I was holding her hand walking to kindergarten. On the way, we saw an old car — one of those wooden-bodied cars that were common during the Great Patriotic War. Suddenly, my daughter stopped, pointed at the car, and shouted that this very car hit her and she died. I quickly pulled her away and distracted her with another topic.
A few days later, we saw the same kind of car again in another place. The child excitedly told me again that she had been hit by exactly this kind of car. I asked her what happened next. She said that a crowd of people gathered, and she watched them from above. No, it didn’t hurt. She watched for a while and then flew back home. That’s how she finished her story.
This happened a long time ago, I was young and didn’t understand much, so I didn’t believe her or ask further questions. Besides, at that time we didn’t have a TV at home, so it was unclear where the child could have made this up from.”

“My Name Was Seryoga.”
This boy also shared his reincarnation story — in his past life, he and his brother drowned in a swamp.
“My younger son, when he was about three years old, often said: ‘When I had another family, my name was Seryoga. I had a brother named Vitka, and we drowned together in a swamp.’
He really kept drowning everywhere — in the sea while wearing floaties, in a pond up to his knees, in the bathtub… So, I took him to a swimming coach, and he taught him how to swim. He kept going for about five years until he learned to swim skillfully and for a long time.”

“Mom, I Drowned — I Came Back Again.”
A three-year-old child remembers being the reincarnation of his deceased brother (no one told the child about the brother or how he died). Isn’t this proof of reincarnation?
“I’m sharing a story that isn’t mine but was told by a neighbor (we are good friends).
Her son died 5 years ago; he was 8 years old — he drowned. She still blames herself, but that’s another matter.
She got pregnant again and had another son, who is now 3 years old. One day, she was sitting and aloud wondered, ‘I wonder who you were before?’ The boy was playing nearby and suddenly answered, ‘Mom, I drowned — I came back again.’
She was shocked. The child already speaks well; this happened about a month ago. She still remembers it and gets chills.
The child doesn’t know about his brother; they haven’t told him because he’s still very young. Maybe he has been reborn — everything is probably possible.”

“I Was Climbing Mount Narayama.”
In this reincarnation story, a girl remembered herself as a Japanese man preparing to climb Mount Narayama to end his life there.
“I was about four years old. In my mind’s eye, I saw a landscape I could never have seen in real life. There were mountains, and I was an old gray-haired man sitting with a boy near a cliff, with a valley below. I was giving guidance to the young boy, knowing that this was my final journey. I had to go even higher — this was where I would die. I saw myself as Japanese.
At that time, we lived in Kazakhstan by the Caspian Sea, surrounded by desert — only sandy dunes. We didn’t have a TV, so there was no way I could have seen mountains.
Now I know about Mount Narayama. It’s a place where people would go or be taken to die. This is the image I had.
I also remember the advice I — the old man back then — gave to the boy. It was about treating people with respect. That’s how I see the greatest challenge of our time.”

“Why Did You Give Birth to Me?”
This story doesn’t describe a past life but is a soul’s memory of its incarnation, birth, and the “grown-up” thoughts of a tiny being who couldn’t yet walk or talk.
“I remember a dark space and the feeling of a huge invisible hand pressing down on my head. This was ‘the light’ or ‘the world of the dead’ — different names for the same thing. This hand was pushing me down with titanic force. I immediately understood that I was being sent to Earth, into the physical world. I remember desperately resisting, but at the same time realizing my strength was no match. They would put me into a body anyway.
Some time passed. Silence. Complete darkness. I thought, ‘Am I really here?’ I opened my eyes and was shocked. I was born! I saw my mother’s face; she was cooing and smiling at me. But I wasn’t joyful. Thoughts ran through my mind: Again, hardships to overcome, suffer, and die once more! I couldn’t bear it and cried out loudly!
I remember trying to stand up and explain to my parents what was really happening. But my tiny, clumsy body wouldn’t let me. My parents smiled and said, ‘Look, she’s trying so hard to stand up.’ I understood everything they said like an adult. How could I explain anything as an infant? My speech hadn’t developed enough.
I started walking very early because my goal was to reach out, grab my mother’s skirt, and ask, ‘Why did you give birth to me? Why? I was so good and peaceful up there!’ Apparently, before coming to Earth, I already knew that not much had improved here. I had suffered so much in the past life that it left a mark — a feeling that it’s better not to come back here.
Now, when I hear newborn babies cry, I understand that maybe they’ve also faced a situation like mine and ‘know’ what’s really going on.”
