Kids tend to say a lot of things, but some of them can really raise the hair on your body. TapiocaTuesday asked “Parents, what spooky ‘past life’ memory did your kid utter?” and received over 13k comments: anything from the work they did before they died, to having ‘other mothers,’ to living in foreign countries and growing rice. Dr. Jim Tucker, director of Perceptual Studies at University of Virginia, has been focusing on cases of young children who remember previous lives. He published a book on the topic and states that young children between 2 and 5 years old tend to speak about memories of a previous life they claim to have lived. He advises parents not to prompt them for more information nor prevent them from saying things. And as the studies are carried out, the kids continue to creep their parents out anyway. If you’re after more bizarre stories, check out some unexplainable things happening to people that they couldn’t explain.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group I had a brother pass away from brain cancer. At the time we had a cat who was a calico and just sort of knew he was battling something. She was really mean to most people but with him she was gentle. He would grab her paws and she would just let it happen. Well about three years after he passed my parents had another child. Another boy. He was about three when he told my parents about the white, brown and black cat that used to let him grab her paws. She had died about a year before he was born.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group My middle son used to talk about having a different mom before me. He would say she was blond and looked nice but wasn’t nice. He would bring it up randomly and only ever got a bit emotional when he would tell me that when he was with her he never got to grow up. He said he chose me to be his mom this time because I would let him grow up and get old. When he would say the last part it was as if he was looking for reassurance. He’d ask me like “right, mom? I can grow up this time?” Really fu*ked me up sometimes.

The trauma of some deaths is so profound that it sticks securely with the life force until that new life can let it go. You have the opportunity to love this child and through that he will let go of this sad memory.

This could have a psychological explanation. Children divide the "bad mom" from the "good mom", the first being the one saying no and deciding rules, the second being the incarnation of care and safety and comfort.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group My daughter, when she was 3, used to talk about her imaginary friend all the time. Said he was big and fun, and spent alot of time playing with her. One day I was scanning old photos and had a photo of my father on my desk and she said, “hey how did you get a photo if my friend?”

I instantly got shivers down my spine. My father died in the house ~15 years previously, and she played in a room that used to be his office.

I cautiously asked her to tell me more about her friend, and without hesitating she told me he talked funny. The chills stopped me dead in my tracks because dad was an Aussie who never lost his accent.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group Not me but a friends little sister. The whole family was out for dinner at a restaurant in a skiing village which they recently bought a cottage near. My friends little sister as soon as they walked in said “I know this place. My mother and I used to paint here.” To which her mother replied “We’ve never been here before, what do you mean?” she replied with “No. My mother from before. We used to paint here all the time.” The family was obviously a little freaked out but didn’t think much of it as she was pretty young and they figured just messing around. Later on though, when talking to the waitress, the little girl again adamantly mentioned how she used to paint there and the waitress revealed that it in fact was an art studio for many years in the 1900s but had been converted sometime in the early 2000s into a restaurant. Needless to say the entire table, waitress included, got goosebumps and were at a loss for words.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group My younger sister, when she was 3, started talking to my mom about "When I was a big girl, and you were a little girl". She said she went to my parent's wedding. She described her old self physically, and my mom says that sounded like my mom's grandmother Grace.

My sister also talked about the "green" house she used to live in at the end of a dirt road and the fact that her mother (my mom's great grandmother Matilda), died from a snake bite, while they lived there. She described the snake as "pretty" and with the full description my mom thinks she was describing a copperhead. Now we lived in northern Nebraska (no copperheads), and Matilda died in southeast Oklahoma (copperhead region.) My sister said she killed the snake with a hoe.

These discussions always took place at bedtime. One day, we were putting in the garden and my dad was sitting down and sharpening the hoe with a file and my sister told him he was doing it wrong. He told her to show him how to do it. She put her hands on his and placed them in the correct position, and later he said that she was right, he was doing it wrong.

For those of you interested in timelines. This would be in 1980, my mother's grandmother Grace died in 1968, and her great-grandmother Matilda died in 1902. Also, we don't know if snake bite was the cause of death for her great grandmother Matilda. I was 15 at the time these little nightly discussions were going on so I remember them fairly well. She probably told these things on and off for about 6 months and by 4 she would say "I'm tired of talking about it".

I am not a great writer, so I hope this is not too confusing.

He said he used to live by "red rocks like that with his first family" who all had straight, dark hair (his is blond and curly... now) and that he had a mom and a dad and he had had a brother until he went too far into the desert too close to dark and got eaten by "not dogs, not wolves but smaller". I said "coyotes"? And he kind of mouthed the word and said, "oh, that's what you call them." Then he was sad and didn't want to talk about it anymore so we had lunch and that was the first and last time he mentioned it.

37 Of The Creepiest Things Kids Have Said About Their ‘Past Lives’ Shared In This Online Group My daughter asked me, “Remember my fancy hat,” and when I said no, she said, “Yeah, before I was dead, I used to work in a bank. I saved my money and bought a hat in a round box. I was on the bus and a man almost sat on it. Then the bus crashed and I died.” She was about three and totally casual about it.

Editing for clarity: My daughter definitely knew about hat boxes; she was very into musicals, one of which was Easter Parade, a movie where fancy hats were a very big deal. She went through a phase of being really interested in death after my mom died, so I think that's where the bus crash came from. At the time, we were talking a lot about death and dying and the idea that accidents can kill a person and how scary that is. I personally think kids say weird stuff because they aren't yet fully wired, mentally-I reportedly used to talk to a Teddy Bear that lived in a cabinet at about the same age, and would sit there happily chatting at an open door for ages.

hi myself 3 years ago

I actually remember a past life. I was on a swing, and my hair flung in front of my face, then I saw a flash of a past life. So pretty much, when my hair went in front of my face, I heard a ton of gunshots, and I saw many dead bodies, on a big hilly dirt field. I was laying there, seeing my best friend die in front of me, and I was just sitting there, dying, but still seeing everything. A war was going on. I used to be a soldier. I stopped swinging immediately after, a chill down my spine. I just sat there for a while, taking in what I had just seen.

I remember mine as well. I was a man. My friends and I were cattle ranchers. One day, we couldn't find any water. All my cows died. My family was struggling. Many years later, I went to this city, and I was in a bar. It was... strange. I had been walking out when suddenly I felt lightheaded, and my back and jaw were aching. I didn't think anything of it... but suddenly the world when black. Later I looked up the symptoms and the story, and I found a news article. The exact same story. I -the man- had had a heartattack. It was... I don't know a word good enough to describe it.

I dont remember mine well, but I remember talking about it. I used to talk about how my other family “didn’t like me or my girlfriend” I had no idea what lgbtq was, but i described a happy high school relationship with another girl. I talked about how i hid it, but decided one day to tell my family the truth. The one thing i still remember is the moment my “past father” held a crucifix to my head and told me that witches have no right to live. I also described being shot with “daddy’s best rifle. My parents were understandably freaked out.

Most people will see these and think of past lives and reincarnation, but what if it's about paralel dimensions? I mean, it's sci-fi, but there are actual studies about paralel worlds, and I don't see how are these less real than religion based theories.

First thing I would do, if a child of mine ever mentioned their past life, is start researching the particulars of what they talk about. I wouldn’t freak out, but be just dying of curiosity. I would also try to see if they remembered any real details, like a name or place. I would just have to know, and if the event happened during a time when newspapers and other sources were abundant, so may have recorded the event, or at least the obituary with a few details. I would follow everything until I either had an answer or hit the final dead end.

I do think that sometimes you need to take some of these with a grain of salt. I was a weird kid, but I know that I would say things like some of these, knowing they were not true. It was just imagination and being able to say things.

Children who are around the ages of 3 and 4 are capable of lying but not to this degree. There is no way they can recall this much detail in explaining events. Their brains have not developed enough to recite such detail or remember stories such as these from either hearing about them or watching them on TV. It is possible that you, Jennifer .S were much older than you remember when you made up your stories.

IDK if this counts but every now and again things will happen in my dream like certain convos and where we are etc. Months even years later my dream will come true.

I've had this too, so many times. Sleep paralysis visions that have come true, the worst of being strangled and almost a video clip of where the body was found (and it came true, even down to the policeman and the trees surrounding my body), I dreamt and foresaw both of my son's motorbike accidents - he wouldn't listen so I was unable to prevent them. I dream of babies and know people are pregnant before they do, and the baby's gender - the list goes on! But at times, due to my anxiety, I have dark imaginings and thought patterns and it can be hard to know if they're a warning or just me. My nanna also had a lot of premonitions so I'm sure it's from her - not always sure I want it though!

I’ve had something very similar happen 3 separate times in my life. And it was such a random dream that had nothing to do with anything going on in my life at the time. But it was kinda spooky and interesting at the same time when the thing happened in real life and I remembered it happening in a dream.

Actually something similar happened once with me and twice with my mum. I had a dream of a street corner and road in Munich that I had never been to... two years later, we drove past it and it was just like in the dream. For all you sceptics, my Mum dreamt once of this small village in France (she lived in England, so definetely didn't have the possibility of stumbling across it like I did) and when she drove past it with a couple of friends, she just knew her way around (e.g. where the bakery was). I definetely believe you that this happens! Isn't it strange!?

When I was 14 I dreamed that my 3rd brother died. I was informed over the phone by a family friend. I was upset the entire day--despite the fact that I didn't have a 3rd brother. Not to worry, 3 years later & an accidental pregnancy, my mom at the age of almost 41 gives birth to a 3rd son--who dies before his 17th birthday. It wasn't the last precognitive dream I had--just the worst. I've had 4 types of precognitive things happen also. Sudden knowledge. Visions--well, I had one vision. One's enough as far as I'm concerned. And the fourth was remembering something before it happened. I got up one day, convinced that something had happened, but unable to remember 'when' it had happened. Finally that night--it happened. The second one happens the most frequently--sudden knowledge.

Kids hallucinate a lot more than we think. Studies have shown that almost two thirds of kids have had a "psychotic like experience"... the thing is, parents often write it off as an "active imagination". It is a normal part of brain development, and isn't a cause for concern... but considering the stigma of hallucinations, many parents who realize their kids ARE seeing things don't talk about it, because of how others would respond.

I have experienced several reincarnation memories in my time. One time I remember getting shot with an arrow, sitting on a castle wall and just fading away and thinking, "Oh, this isn't so bad." With help from a historian, I was able to describe the castle and the landscape, and we narrowed it down to this one place, but it didn't have the wall I described. After more research, it turned out the wall was there, but had sunk into the marshes and was now under water. I don't know why people are scared or freaked out by the idea of reincarnation. I think it's kind of nice that we can keep finding the people we love to share our many lives with them.

When I was a kid, I used to have a recurring dream that I was a very young, very scared German fighter pilot in the waning days of WW2 and the dream would always end with a "thump" and a smell of burning rubber and I'd pat my abdomen in confusion and see fresh blood on my glove. Then the plane would roll into a left-hand spin but my hands would feel like lead so I couldn't do anything about it and I'd wake up with a feeling of overwhelming sadness. As I got older the dream faded, but I got obsessed with model making and even later I took up flying for real, but the moment which bought it all back is when I was a teenager and had the chance to check out a WW2 fighter cockpit for in a museum - now, at this point, I had already sat in cockpits numerous times, because of my interest in aircraft, but they'd all been jets. This wasn't even a German fighter but a Soviet one, but the smell hit me like a ton of bricks and I was right back in my childhood, dreaming about being shot down.

One of my oldest memories is a "nightmare" I remember when I was about 3. It rattled me for the whole next few days and according to my mom, I hardly said a word an sat in a corner all day. I was sucked in into a short drainpipe while swimming, and couldn't escape from what looked like a turbine. It appears I got sucked into a pumping station's archimedes screw. I told my mom how I died in a previous life. I still can see these images vividly and it still unsettles me.

I also remember a past life. I was a little girl and my mother was crying because my little siblings had died. She kept telling me that I had brought home the illness and it was my fault they were dead. She had a very strange accent (it was Irish, but I was four, and had never heard one before). I used to tell my mom all about it, and she would always change the subject. Last summer, when I was 16, she finally told me that my great grandmother had migrated from Ireland with her family, and had indeed brought home an illness that killed her younger siblings. Still think about it sometimes at night.

Something similar happened to my aunt. My little cousin always told my aunt that she played with an 'angel'. My aunt didn't think much of it since they're aware that little kids often have imaginary friends. One day my little cousin saw a picture of my aunt's brother, who had passed away several years before she was born, and she told my aunt that that was the angel.

Kids brains are like sponges, they absorb everything. You may think kids can't see what you're watching or hear what you're saying but they pick up on everything. Add that to an already overactive imagination and playing with equally imaginative kids and you get stories like these.

We visited an old castle and my little girl who has learning disabilities stood under the gallows and mimed being hanged. Like, hand above her head as if holding the rope, tipped her head to one side and stuck her tongue out. She only watches pre-school TV and we monitor her online content really carefully, and she certainly would not see that at her special school. I don't know and prefer not to think about it too much.

I think I was 10 or 11 and we were on vacation driving somewhere in the car. We were going through Iowa and went through a town called West Union where I had never been before (never been there since either!). I suddenly got the sense I had lived there in the early part of the 20th century, that my name had been Rebecca, and that I had died in the flu pandemic of 1918. That's really all I remember about it except that I was about 15 when I died.

I love these kinds of stories, whether they're true or not.

When I was three or so and my parents would punish me for whatever, I would always say the same thing "you're not my real parents". I am not adopted. I would tell stories of my life in California, but we lived in Virginia. I knew my California address and gave very detailed descriptions of a place I had never seen. My dad asked why I was with him and my mom if I missed California and I looked him in the eye and said "cuz I'm dead there"I had a seizure at 4 and never mentioned it again

I have always believed in past life’s/ reincarnation even as a kid, before I knew what it was. I remember the first time I learned about the Holocaust being devastated, tearful and thinking that I died in a concentration camp previously. Also I am 49 and I still get nervous going through intersections .. thinking I died in a car crash ( in a previous life) Finally I think my cat is the reincarnation of my husbands mother. She passed away from cancer around the time we got our kitten (19 years ago) and she has always watched over the family in a grandmother way.

I had two of these instances myself. I have dreams of two places. One was a dark area in an urban setting, with only a few lights. Every now and then, I find myself exploring a bit more of the area than before--the last real spot I recall was a loading dock. Another dream that was really vivid and repeated itself when I was a kid was me around 10 years old running through a field. I tripped in a hole, hurt my ankle, tried to crawl around, but got bitten by a snake and died in the field. I still hate fields in the Midwest because it gives me the heebie jeebies. Oddly, when I was young, I was told that I would just stand near the edges of those fields with a thousand-yard stare and refused to go further.

the main thing to remember when you become aware of a past life is that you are living in the here and now. You are not living in the past. All the life lessons you must accomplish are native to this present life, not one you lived before. So don't go back to trying to live out extra chapters in a past lifetime if you become aware of it. The only real advantage seems that it is easier to come to terms with a violent trauma in a former lifetime if you become aware of it. Accept it, let it go, and then move on in your present lifetime of spiritual learning of lessons and spiritual progress.

1. When I was three -Had no idea what a shark was and they were never mentioned in my house- I would sing a song that went like this: I once had a daughter, she fell in the water, and then the shark got her and brought her home. 2. I would tell my mom that I was her mother once and she was my daughter but then she fell in the water and the shark ate her. 3. I have brief memories of being at a beach and people screaming and seeing sharks in the water. 4. My parents had this cat, Peppy, and he would walk on his toes. I walk on my toes without noticing I do it and I grew up doing it. It feels natural to me. I often walk like a cat and make no sound when I walk unintentionally. Also, my parents also think that I am a reincarnation of one of their past cats. I often act the same as they did and once I heard them saying that I might be.

Kids like imagining things. They pick up names and things from TV, books, from other people's conversations and sometimes like to imagine they are somebody else. I used to do it too, but all those things were completely made up - I didn't actually "remember" anything. So, I guess, most of those, especially something non-specific like "I used to have three brothers" or "I used to work in a big office" are just products of a child's imagination. I mean, it's still a pretty interesting read, but I wouldn't take it seriously.

I have one! When I was little I used to dream about climbing a smaller mountain or rock wall of some kind, I mean really vivid dreams: I could feel the rock surface against my nails and the physical strain in my arms and legs, and also how I fell down and died. I apparently talked about this a lot with my family when I was very little (like 3) which I don't remember but my family does, and when I was a bit older (5-6) I used to dream about it which I do remember. It was a really scary dream that I had for years, and while it may be a common dream with a perfectly reasonable psychological explaination behind it, I still think that it was created from memories.

I saw one theory that "the light" you see when you die is the light of the hospital room/ place of your next life, and you cry because you still remember your past life and how you died. As you get older, you forget your past life, which might explain why it usually only happens to young children.

They always do this lol. Any post that says "this internet group", is a list of similar pictures, etc is a reddit post. Personally I don't mind it too much though, since most websites are just passing stuff around anyways and personally I find the bp community much more approachable than reddit.

Yes, and I think there are a lot of things in the spiritual realm that we just won't understand til we get to the other side. Remember, we see "through a glass, darkly, then we shall see face to face." (1 Cor. 13:12) Some things just won't make sense this side of heaven. This is one of them, in my opinion.

kids have a lot of dreams (and nightmares) when they sleep. And sometimes they remember something, and they dont care and dont think about if it was real or part of a dream.
