Wow, I'm not gonna lie this story about a 3-year-old boy remembering being murdered in a past life is completely freaking me out. Okay, so this 3-year-old boy from Golan Heights, an area near the border of Syria and Israel, said that in a previous life he had been murdered with an axe. As if that weren't freaky enough, he then showed his village elders where his body was buried and where the murder weapon was burried. When the elders dug in the spots the child pointed out, they found a man's skeleton and an axe. OH MY GOD!!!
Oh wait, the child also remembered the full name of his murderer!

When the man who was accused of murder was confronted, his face reportedly went white, but he denied the accusations. Then the body and murder weapon were found and he confessed.
Now, the man that the boy claimed to have been in a past life was someone who had gone missing four years earlier. The missing man's family and friends had assumed that the man had strayed into hostile territory and that's why he never returned.
Tell me this is not a crazy freaky story. It is, right?
Okay, so this boy's story is part of the book Children Who Have Lived Before: Reincarnation Today by German therapist Trutz Hardo. The child is from the Druze ethnic group who believe in reincarnation, but even they were shocked by what this child recalled and how he was able to lead them to a skeleton, a murder weapon and the murderer.
The story was told to Hardo by Dr. Lasch who was the only non-Druze to witness the unfolding of this child's incredible recollections and subsequent findings. Lasch died in 2009 and "is best known for developing the medical system in Gaza as part of an Israeli government operation in the 1960s."
I don't know what to make of this story, but I do know that there are things in this life that defy explanation. Maybe we aren't meant to know, maybe we are just meant to go with it.
