People of the Past

Recently, I have been hearing and reading things about children who account living in past lives. As I began to research this topic, the concept is actually pretty popular. Children.... the most free and innocent and pure(as some put it) recount lives of brutal deaths and burials, murder weapons, families, old homes, and sometimes even valuables placed in places that only the past family knows about. And in more cases than just one, these accounts are true due to actually looking for the evidence as told by the children.... So does this prove reincarnation? Can we all say that we have lived in a past life?

Well okay to me these stories tell us that there is more to life and afterlife than what we think... Some things are not just a wild imagination.. ESPECIALLY when there is evidence to support the story being told. I'm talking birth marks and other bodily attributes contributing more evidence to the past life account.  And these accounts don't stop at  age 3 or 4. Sometimes they last all the way into adolescence or adulthood. A child who claimed to be the maker of the titanic began his accounts in childhood and lasted all the way into adulthood giving story after story about the ship (Here is a link to that story in case you're curious Tommie Andrews: Accounts of Past Life ). Most times these children say what needs to be said and after that, they don't remember this past life  and continue living the life they are in now. So depending on what you believe, your interpretation for this phenomena may be different. I'm a christian and I believe that there are spirits (good and bad) that roam the earth. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. Call it what you want, but these spirits are wanting to be heard and want someone to know what happened to them. The truth always comes out eventually no matter the medium (Numbers 32:23; look it up) As for reincarnation, I can't really comment on that. Reincarnation is coming back as a totally different person(or thing). And living a new life. But these children and sometimes adults, have memories of the past life then when it's all said and done, they forget the life and move on. The jury is out for me with that.... Spirits? Yes. Dying then coming back as a child to reveal past memories and start life over? Ehhh..... I need more research about it.. But whose to say??? 

So what do you think? Do you believe in reincarnation? What do you think about these kids and their accounts dating to past lives? What do you think about past lives in general? 

Here's some links I found interesting of stories about kids talking about past lives... check them out:
