The University of Virginia scholar has conducted a ten-year study into children who say they remember past lives.
A version of this article was published in the Daily Mail on January 4, 2016These are Mail readers' haunting descriptions of how their children have startled them with articulate accounts of a past life, seemingly believing they have lived before.
While it's not clear where these stories come from inside these young minds - one thing is for certain: they make compelling reading... Eventually, I told my daughter, expecting her to laugh and think it was just his imagination, but she said he had talked to her of his other life. What followed was an astonishing story of her life in that castle. She talked of big parties with lots of people, roaring fires with huge dogs lying around, of eating peacocks and swans.
When I asked him about Chris, Jamie said: ‘Chris is a little boy and at night we fly up and see God.’My mother-in-law then told me that she’d had a brother, who died before she was born. His name was Chris. Ben had never met his Grandad and certainly never knew he had a son who died, because we never discussed it.I can only assume Ben is a reincarnation of his late uncle. Ben is now almost seven and no longer remembers anything about it.When my son, 52, was three, he would march around doing a Nazi goose-step, saluting and saying ‘Hi Hitler’.
One day in the car, he started crying. When I asked what was wrong, he pointed at a tree and said: ‘That’s where my wife died.’ Apparently she had crashed her car. For a while, he would mention odd details about his previous life, and become frustrated when I told him how to do things because, as he would say: ‘I did it when I was a grown up!’From the age of two-and-a-half, my son, James, would tell us the same story. He had lived in a wooden house with stairs next to a ‘big water’.
Shortly after this, she became obsessed with telling me stories about a cat called ‘Asquid’, and I was struck by the unusual name. Several years later I was telling my uncle about Asquid, and he vividly remembered a childhood book about Asquith the cat, which his mum, my grandma, read to him.I was struck by her use of the word ‘pram’, instead of ‘buggy’. As a baby, we had lived with my paternal grandparents and I was often taken to the park by my grandma.
