Stories Toddlers Shared That Made Their Parents Think They're Tuned In With Their Past Lives

Some kids say things that sound like they wandered in from another life, and parents are left trying to make sense of it. A casual comment about a place, a name, or a memory can suddenly feel a lot bigger than a child’s imagination.

That is exactly what happened in this Reddit thread, where an r/AskReddit OP asked parents to share the moments that made them wonder whether their children were talking about a past life. The replies range from eerie to heartbreaking, with a few that are oddly comforting too.

Most of the stories fade as the kids grow older, but the details stick with the parents. Read on.

This is the post that was answered by parents of Reddit
