I Asked My Father to Return — and He Came Back as My Daughter

I Asked My Father to Return — and He Came Back as My Daughter

Reincarnation story of a father reborn within his own family, supported by a child’s memories — plus more stories of souls returning to loved ones in surprising ways.

“About a year later, I had a vivid dream. In the dream, he told me the exact date of his birth in a new life.

Ten years after that dream, on that exact date, I gave birth to my daughter.

At the time, we were living in another country. But when we visited Russia — to the place where my father had lived — something incredible happened. My daughter recognized the house he used to live in. She ran up to a neighbor, hugged and kissed her, and called her by name.

To say we were shocked would be an understatement.

Now that she’s growing older, most of those memories are fading. But every so often, I catch her looking at me with a gaze that stops me cold — it’s his gaze. The same eyes, full of deep knowing and quiet strength, looking at me again… through the eyes of my child.”

“Actually, my daughter had a similar experience. She had been unable to conceive for a long time. In church she prayed for the birth of a child. Just one day later, she had a vivid dream: her late grandfather (my father) appeared, waved at her, and said, “We will meet soon.” Two weeks later, she found out she was pregnant.

One day, when her one‑year‑old son (my grandson) was at my house, my brother—who hadn’t seen the child since he was four months old—came to visit. I said to the little boy, “Your grandfather, is coming now.” At that moment, the child visibly panicked: he bolted to the door, then back to me, then to the door again, trembling slightly.

When my brother entered, the boy ran to him and literally threw himself around his legs, holding on tightly and standing like that for a solid thirty seconds. And mind you, this was a child who was usually reserved around strangers.

My brother was absolutely stunned. He knew the backstory. After seeing that reaction, he said, “Now I finally believe in reincarnation.”

“My son was born with a birthmark—a spot in his eye and another on his forehead. When he was 3 to 4 years old, he told me he had a vision that in a past life he had been an American police officer who was killed in an assassination attempt — shot in the eye. I only now understand what he meant.

On top of that, he spoke English even better than his native language…
By age seven, he had completely forgotten everything.”

“My son was born and was unable to speak for a long time. The first thing he ever said to me was that he had seen me as a little girl — he described me (my dress, a doll, my hair), and told me that he had wanted to come to me, to be by my side, because I was very beautiful, in his words. A year after that, he still remembered his words… a few years later, he only remembered that he had said it — but no longer remembered why.”

“Six months after my mother passed away, I had a dream where she came to me. Strangely, she was dressed all in black and was crying a lot. I knew in the dream that she had died, and I asked her if she was satisfied with how we had said goodbye to her.

She didn’t answer my question—instead, she told me that soon a baby girl would be born in our family, and we should name her Rosa.

I asked her, “To whom? No one in the family is even pregnant.” She told me the name of the woman who would give birth—it was my brother’s daughter.

When I woke up, I called my sister-in-law and asked if my niece was pregnant. She was shocked and asked how I found out, as they hadn’t told anyone yet—she was still in the early stages of pregnancy.

I told her, “It will be a girl.” She said they were hoping for a boy since they already had a daughter. But when the time came, they had a baby girl.

Two months after the birth, I had another dream. My mother came to me again and said: “I’m back. I’m alive.”

How can I not believe in reincarnation after that?”

And finally — one more fascinating reincarnation story, full of astonishing coincidences

This powerful personal story comes from a 57-year-old woman who never considered herself spiritual — in fact, she was raised in strict atheism. But the mysterious series of dreams, signs, and uncanny coincidences that surrounded her mother’s death in 1997 would challenge everything she believed. Years later, her niece began to have dreams of their late grandmother, predicting a future birth that would align exactly — to the day — with the grandmother’s own birthday. What followed stunned the whole family: the prophecy came true. A girl was born on August 1st, and even received the same name — without anyone planning it. Could this be proof of reincarnation? Decide for yourself.

“Throughout my life, I’ve witnessed many miracles. But being raised as an atheist, I never gave them much importance. I’m now 57 years old, and most of my life is behind me. The greatest miracle that ever happened to me was the unmistakable reincarnation of my mother, who died in 1997 from stomach cancer.

Shortly before her death, when the doctors gave us the verdict that she didn’t have much time left… I went into such shock that I would wake up in the mornings with short-term amnesia. Upon waking, I would struggle to understand what horrible thing had happened to me… and only after a few minutes would I remember—my mom was terminally ill, and she would soon be gone.

The horror hanging over our family didn’t let me sleep peacefully. Caught in a half-asleep, permanent state of shock, I started having the same dream over and over:
My mother, wearing a dress that my sisters and I used to share, would appear to me and, as if answering a question, say completely emotionless:
“I’m leaving you for another family.”
In the dream, I’d immediately respond:
“But what about us? We need you!”
And she’d calmly reply:
“The time has come. I have to go.”

I would wake up to find her still alive, frail and in pain from the illness. I would kiss her, cry, not wanting to let her go—to that place no one returns from…
And this same dream repeated until the day she died.

There are three of us sisters, and life scattered us across different cities and countries.

One day, about six years ago, the three of us reunited. During that visit, my niece—who, by the way, looks remarkably like my late mother—told me that she kept having the same recurring dream:
Her late grandmother (my mom) would come to her in the dream and insistently repeat:
“Very soon, you will get married. You will give birth to a son. Then, a few years later, you will give birth to a daughter. You will give birth on August 1st—and that will be ME!”
(My mother was born on August 1st, 1937.)

I was a little shaken by this, but didn’t think much of it at the time and eventually forgot about it.

But then… everything happened exactly as my late mother had predicted in my niece’s dream:
First she gave birth to a boy.
Then, on August 1st, 2018, she gave birth to a daughter.

And as the final, undeniable sign—my niece’s father-in-law, who knew nothing about any of this, suddenly started calling the newborn “Masha” (the diminutive for Maria—my mother’s name). They hadn’t even discussed baby names yet. The name simply came… from his mouth.”
