[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, now five, has consistently made comments about his previous life and how he died.  I don't say ANYTHING in response to him except maybe "oh wow," and in the beginning I definitely thought it was just his imagination.  But the more time passes and the more consistent the story is, the stranger I feel about it.

At the age of 2, when he could first talk, he would pretend to "fall" over and over, and would say "I falling, I falling" and cry hysterically.  I had to act out catching him, and he said he'd die "like he did last time" if I didn't catch him.  If he saw anything on tv that had to do with falling, he would get hysterical.  He also said, from the moment he first learned about New York City, that he loved New York City and it's where he "grew up".  We've never taken him to New York.

At the age of 3, he started saying he fell into a hole and died the "last time" he was alive.  Then he said he had to wait SO long to be born, and asked me why it took so long to be born.  Once we saw a sort of drainage cover thing in a foreign city (maybe over a sewer system, I'm not sure) and he said, "oh, that's like the hole I fell into when I died."

At the age of 4, he started saying he chose me to be his mom because he saw me crying on the beach and knew I'd love him the most.  Before I was pregnant, my husband and I got into a fight about whether to have another child when we were on a beach vacation, and I went down to the beach late at night and sat by the water and dreamed of another child and how much I'd love him/her.  No one has heard that story.  My husband doesn't even know where I went that night (other than that I went for a walk to cool off).

Now at the age of 5, he once again said that in his last life he lived in New York City - and that he loves New York City - and he was pretty old and had an ok life but then he fell and he died.  And he had to wait forever to be born and now he's five!  He says it like it's no big deal.  He just said it today.

That's all.  I don't even want to talk to my husband about this - though he has also heard these comments - because it feels too weird.  But he's been so consistent for so long.[/quote]

OP have you heard of the research done by Uni of Virginia Med School into children who report remembering past lives? It is common enough to warrant systemic research.
