There are documented cases of young children recalling detailed memories of lives they have never lived. Names, places, even causes of death. Dr. Ian Stevenson from the University of Virginia investigated over two thousand such cases, many with verifiable facts that the child could not have known. These are not vague dreams or feelings. They are vivid, specific memories confirmed by living witnesses and official records. In cultures where reincarnation is accepted, children are encouraged to speak freely about these memories. The results are astonishing. They describe homes they never visited, speak dialects they never heard, and identify relatives of a former life by name. Investigators follow up and often confirm these details. Skeptics label this coincidence or coaching, but most of these children are too young to fabricate such intricate detail. And these cases happen in families that gain nothing from it. There is no profit. No book deal. Just a mystery no one can explain. If even one of these cases is real, it breaks the idea that memory is stuck in the brain. It opens the door to the possibility that something within us survives death and returns. Reincarnation may not be measurable yet, but we do not dismiss gravity because we cannot touch it. We observe its effects. And the effects of past life memory are very real.
