“When I Lived in America…”
At just two years old, a girl unexpectedly shared memories of a past life in the U.S.—a military pilot husband, two children, and the name Helen. A coincidence, or a true past life memory?
“My daughter was two years old. I had just put her down for a nap and was busy in the kitchen when I suddenly heard loud talking coming from the bedroom. I went in and saw her sitting up in bed, eyes wide open, speaking clearly:
“When I lived in America, I had a husband who was a military pilot. He died in the war. We had two children—a boy and a girl. We lived in a big two-story white house and loved playing on the large green lawn near the house. My name was Helen.”
Right after that, she fell asleep again.
My daughter’s name is Elena, and now she has two children—a boy and a girl. She remembers none of what she said that day, and nothing like that ever happened again.”

The Child Retained a Foreign Language from a Past Life
Since early childhood, a Russian boy spoke fluent English like an adult — using slang and swearing like some kind of gangster — even though no one had ever taught him and his parents didn’t know the language. And after the age of 20, it turned out he could drive a car perfectly, even though he had never sat behind the wheel in this life. These aren’t just memories of a past life — these are fully preserved skills!
“My friend has a son. Since he was a baby, he spoke English, although no one in the family or around him knew the language. When he was two, he walked into the kitchen and said something while pointing at a pitcher of water. His mother realized he was asking for a drink. He took a sip and ran off.
At that moment, they had guests — a couple from England, Russians living there. The man turned to the boy’s mother, shocked, and said, ‘What are you teaching your kid?!’
Turns out, the child had said in English, pointing to the pitcher, ‘Let me wet my whistle’ — and also swore at his mother. They couldn’t believe the boy hadn’t been taught. They went into the room and started speaking English with him. They began laughing because the child replied like a gangster. The vocabulary…
In short, until the age of four, the boy spoke only English and refused to speak his native language. Then it faded.
They remembered it later, when he sat behind the wheel for the first time and drove like a professional. Before turning twenty, he had silently refused to even try driving, and when he was a passenger, he’d look everywhere except at the steering wheel. After turning twenty, without a single lesson, he simply got in and drove. Everyone admires how well he drives — even professional drivers.
His mother once told me privately — and no one else — because she thought no one would believe it: when he was little, they consulted a psychic, and she told them that in his past life, he was a race car driver and died.”

“When I Was a Major in the War”
At just two and a half years old, a girl suddenly said she had been a major who died in a war—her past life memory surfaced while a German song played on the radio.
“When my granddaughter was about two and a half years old, we were goofing around, lying on the bed, and there was a radio playing music on the dresser. We were having fun and not paying attention to who was singing. Suddenly, my granddaughter went quiet… A song in German was playing.
I asked her what was wrong, and she said, “I really hate those Germans…”
“How do you know it’s German?” I asked.
She replied, “Don’t you hear? It’s the Germans singing.”
“So why do you hate them?” I asked.
She said, “When I was a major in the war, they killed me. I was lying next to a big green bush, and the sky was very blue.”
What surprised me the most was that she used the word “major” — we have no one in the family with a military background, so there was no way she could’ve heard that word, let alone understood what it meant.”

Spontaneous Activation of Foreign Language Knowledge
While watching a movie in English, a Russian woman suddenly understood everything without subtitles. Was it knowledge from a past life—or something else entirely?
“I don’t remember any past lives. But once, while watching an American movie with subtitles, something incredible happened to me—something that defies any explanation. The film was very interesting and fast-paced, so I couldn’t keep up with the subtitles. And suddenly, I found myself watching without reading them, perfectly understanding the English speech—as if it were my native language.
When I realized what was happening, it felt like an electric shock—and in an instant, the ability disappeared. I went back to not understanding anything. It was as if my brain had suddenly switched into knowing English. It felt like something out of science fiction—like someone up above took pity on me and switched on that function in my brain.
Maybe we’re not even human at all—maybe we’re robots, each with our own operator.”

A Song in an Unknown Language
A girl sang a song in a language no one understood since childhood. Did she remember this song from a past life?
“Until I reached my teenage years, I spoke some kind of language while playing with dolls. I even sang a song, understood its meaning, and danced to my own singing. For a long time, I remembered this song well. One day, I suggested to my teacher that I sing it at a school event, and she was amazed because the language didn’t resemble any other known language in the world. She couldn’t understand what language I was singing in and asked who taught me. I clearly remember answering, “No one, it’s my song.” My little mind couldn’t understand why no one else could understand me. Later, I forgot this song forever.”
