Childhood Memories Of A Previous Life?

Posted on January 22, 2009

I’m going to get right to the point of the first time something happened. Something most people wouldn’t think is so normal. Well I hope you are a little more opened minded then most.

When I was three (As I was told by my mother. I was a little young to remember at the time.) I talked about missing my aunt. Well, we had just moved. So my mom thought that I was talking about my aunt who we had just moved away from. She dialed her number so I could talk to her. I was very upset because I didn’t want to talk to that aunt. Instead I wanted to talk to my aunt who I lived with when my parents died. My mother was shocked by what I was saying.

Later my grandmother called to see how we liked our new house and everything. Well my mother was worried about me so she told my grandma. My grandmother believes in past lives and thought I was speaking about one and told my mom to get as much out of me about it as she could.

Over the next week my mother only got that my parents had died and I was sent to live with my aunt. I talked about living in the old west. That I rode a hoarse to school and that I had died at seventeen. I wouldn’t tell her anymore.

After all that happened everything was normal. Well up until the time I was eight, that’s when I saw the hand. It was the night before Easter, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (funny it’s true). I was bored out of my mind so I was cleaning my room. Usually I always just turn on the TV but I didn’t that night. I was taking dishes to the kitchen.

On my way back to my room  I stopped to pet my cat. I was two feet away from my room when I saw a hand come out of the door and knock down a picture that was hanging next to my door. It was the palest hand I ever saw with long thin fingers. I went spinning down the stairs to my brother’s room (Which is now mine).

When we went back upstairs the picture was on the floor where the ghostly hand had left it. Again, everything was normal after that. Up to aabout year ago (I’m 13) when I saw different types of ghostly people but people were around me but said nothing. I even had a few weird dreams. It stopped for four mouths and is starting again now. Its always different. Like that school I heard my name being called and looked around but no one was looking for me. The halls are full of people but they never notice anything. It’s scary not knowing what’s next.

Note from the Caretaker:

It isn’t uncommon for very young children to talk about strange things like this. I recall my own borther telling us about things that he use to do when he was “big”. He was only 3 or 4 years old, but he would describe things he did and places he had went to when he was a grown up. At the time I never though that much about it and just more or less chalked it up to his imagination. But years later after hearing of other, similar cases I wished that I had paid more attention to what he was telling us and eve asked him some questions about it.

I honestly believe that many of us, if not all of us, have lived previous lives. I also believe that children come into this world sometimes with memories of their previous existence intact. As we grow and struggle to deal with the world around us the memories are pushed farther back into our minds until eventually they are all but forgotten.

What do you think?

    Caretaker, yes I agree wholeheartedly.
    Cece, I think that youre unintentionally regressing, the Dreams is a clue, While we’re asleep and dreaming we are tuned-in to the Spirit-Wolrd aswell as other realms. Many people receive vivid premonitions and Visions while asleep and dreaming. Have you ever considered being hypnotised or going to a Spiritualist? As for the Hand knocking the picture,was it Male or female in appearance? Who knows, perhaps your house is also haunted.

  2. Bug says:

    My mum was telling me about a year or two back, how when I was about 3 years of age, I would always say to her at random times…”Hey mommy, do you remember when you were the baby and I was the mommy?” I would always find this intresting because I love and beleive in past lives. Thank you for posting this artical. :D

  3. Honeychurch says:

    She says she’s thirteen. Going to a spiritualist or a hypnotist? That needs to be discussed with her parents first.

    Not that I do not believe you, CeCe- I do, and I truly believe these things are possible. I just want people to be a little cautious about advice they might give.

  4. Ryan says:

    I’m not sure that I beleave in past lives but as a child I had similar memories.

  5. The Caretaker says:

    I remember my little brother talking about the things he used to do and places he went when “I was a big person” he would also tell me and others things like “The next time you get little…..” Now I wish I had paid more attention to what he was saying. He was around 4 years old when he talked about this stuff!

  6. Jenny says:

    Same thing happened with my bf’s little brother. When they moved to the U.S. from Mexico he was a toddler, and they would be riding in the car going somewhere and all of the sudden he’d be like, “I need to go back to Mexico to be with my wife and daughters.” This was a little 3 year-old talking. He also had an affinity for guns.

  7. Alpha says:

    Several theories have been proposed to disprove claims of past life existence. I personally believe that when we die we lose memories and emotional residue in the form of an alternate energy. This energy is constantly propagated throughout the globe and sometimes, newborns/younger children absorb this energy because their brain is still developing (and possibly because the energy is attracted to cellular development).
    Through this they are able to obtain energy/information of other people, whom lived before they lived and eventually this energy dissipates away. This is why younger people can seem to know a lot about other people.

    It is said upon death we lose 6 ounces, (whether this 6 ounces is the soul itself or a combination of the soul and other forms of energy is questionable)

    Take care Alpha

  8. emily says:

    Whoa Alpha, you are talking smarticle.I also heard about losing 6 ounces when we die, and i completely agree with you, Alpha.

  9. Ryan says:

    Alpha, I think that makes sence. Who knows being exposed to that type of energy while developing could very well sensitize a person ebabling them to be aware of other “events” later in life.
    Thanks, thats something I never considered.

  10. amber says:

    i believe in past lives but i dont understand how it works . if when you die your soul is reborn in another body what are ghosts?

  11. JMM says:

    When I was a teenager I had dreams about a young girl who was murdered in the south. I frequently dreamed about the same girl in the same situation in places I’d never been to or even seen. Every time I had these dreams I would see and do everything as if I were that girl. Could this have to do with my last past life? This girl died a few years before I was born, maybe 3 or 4.

  12. Siren says:

    wow. i believe in past lives. so much. but how does one find out about their past lives? i’ve never had actualy had dreams about my past but i always have these extremely strong feelings toward things. i want to understand more about our past lives. could anyone help?

  13. Asian Rose!!! ^.^ says:

    Amber,
    I believe in Buddha, so that makes me believe in reincarnation, means when we passed away, we will come back as a different formed, but we cannot remember our past life. well, i wish I know more things about our past life, but yea. No one have an explanation for all this things, but according to my religion, yea, we’re reborn to something else. like, a rat, bird, any kinds of animals, but if u’re nice and stuff in this life u’ll be lucky, being reborn as a human, again. and i totally believe in God too.
    -Rose-

  14. Nabila says:

    THAT STORY WAS OKAY BUT I STILL DON’T BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION BUT I’VE HEARD THINGS LIKE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME FACE AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT I THINK THAT REINCARNATION IS JUST A TRICK YOUR MIND PLAYS ON YOU

  15. Alpha says:

    Does anyone have an explanation proposing past life existence. It doesn’t have to have authentic scientific basis (because the paranormal is regarded to be a division of psychology, however with the integration of quantum physics and more complicated science, i am steadfast in my beliefs that the mysteries of death and ghosts/alternate dimensions will be unlocked) but it should be plausible and not too far-fetched.

    I am still firm in my notion of past life existence, occurring consequently cause of emotional residue and memories of the deceased being absorbed by new-borns in the form of an alternate energy. This energy being propagated around the world upon the death of an individual.

    This is also why younger kids seem to know alot about those whom lived before them.

  16. Ryan says:

    I still don’t know if reincarnation is a reality but childern as a blank canvas absorbing information and energys there exposed to, thats something else I think in very likly and afterall isn’t that whats going on when we interact with spirits?.

  17. Stayc L. says:

    I totally believe everythng being said in this story. CeCe, if i were you I would ask my mother some other things that you may have mentioned or check into your family history. Even though there is a good chance you may not find anything it is worth a shot. However, i wouldnt recomend being hypnotised or going to a Spiritualist it can sometimes be dangerous and doesent always work. so Please be careful in your decision.

  18. smitherz says:

    im thinking this little girl is more of a psychic than anything

  19. India says:

    That is weird Cece. What picture did the hand knock down? It could be trying to tell you something.

  20. Avir says:

    Not to many years ago had a similar occurence where i was re living sumone else’s life and no one seem’ed to belive me until i had another dream and in this dream i had a box that i burried but it didnt make sence at first but ironicly i new where the box was burried so due to the fact i was curious i went out to look for it and i did find the box the porp was it needed a key wich i have no idea where or how and id rather not break it open but if you wanna see pics i have plenty with a date on the back of 1972

  21. Cathy H says:

    I enjoyed and appreciate the story and comments. I believe CeCe and feel a past life memory was indeed experienced. And CeCe those dreams will help provide you answers.

    Let me tell you about a memory I had. Now you have to understand, I am a 48 year old woman but once was a 6 year old little girl. I was very sensative to the spirit world but did not yet realize what that was all about. I was a vey vivid dreamer, so much so that I could draw or paint differnt scenes.

    One night while sleeping, I woke up from a dream and was sad and a little chilly. I knew, even in my young mind, that this dream was different from the rest. The dream lasted only a moment but I felt I was the girl in my dream and I didn’t understand how that could be.

    In the dream, I was a girl of about the same age, height and color, as I was then. Her hair was long with golden ringlets and she was wearing a black bonnet and a black dress with a petticoat. I remember the shoes were black fabric/leather shaped like the mary jane shoes She was standing next to a lamp post and I remember the cobblestone and it was damp, like misting and it was dark. I heard the horse and carriages roll down the cobblestone street and couples were huddled under umbrellas and hurrying down the walk. I could smell the dampness in the air along with the smell of the horses. I knew she was in London.

    Then it was over. When I woke up I still had the smells of the damp air and the horses in my nose. The overwhelming feeling I received was that she was very sad and felt alone.

    To this day, the memory of that dream is just as vivid as it was that night. I believe it was a memory of a past life.

  22. Cece says:

    Hello it’s Cece (the person who wrote it). It has been for never since I have been on. I feel so bad about that. I never though anyone would read or care about any of this. But I was wrong and glade I was. Thanks for everyone who wrote a comment it means the world too me that you all care so much. I’ll be on more. I hope if I can.

  23. Demtia says:

    I find it fasenating that she truly experienced this and it sounds completely real.

  24. Sharon says:

    When my son was little he would call his sister by another name and we would correct him. He would look at us a say ” no that is not tiffany that is Dorsa” he was 2-3 when this happened. I have read this stories about past life and wonder know if in another life he had a sister named Dorsa

  25. King_Fluffs 1st lutenent auron squadron says:

    Nice i remember sometimes saying to an adult “I Wanna go home” or “have the pigs ran away agian” i dont know why it might be a past life or summit.

    Kind Regards King_Fluffs

  26. Margerate says:

    Oh my gosh, that;s creepy. Almost as creepy as what had happenned to me and why they put me in a syco hospital, because they didn’t believe me. i only wish it could of ended better for me because it seems no one else ended up getting stuck in a syco house.

  27. Cece says:

    Margerate what happen to you?

  28. sabrina says:

    My daughter is 8 and still misses a sister she had in a past life. I guess the sister died in a fire. When she was little she would cry for her.I felt so bad because I didn’t know what to do for her.

  29. Margerate says:

    i was about 8 when my grandpa died and i was in my room when i heard this scream. i went out to the kitchen to grab a knife just in case someone was in my house. it ended up someone was but they left before they got a chance to find me. i looked around and my whole family was dead. my grandma came over the next day and saw me on the floor crying with the knife next to me. she assumed the first thing. when she was going to the bathroom i saw all my dead family members. i told my grandma that i had seen mom and dad and big brother, but she thought i was insane. she got me into therapy and the therapist sent me to this hospital. i still see all of my dead family members and i try hard to help them pass over, but i just can’t help them and my grandma doesn’t even come to see me anymore. i’m thirtteen now and i got here when i was 8 and a half. i’m so sad all the time and everybody hates me, then i keep getting these calls from nobaody and theysay they’ll kill me.

  30. Patti says:

    I believe there is something to reincarnation, but I don’t think it’s other people’s lives we’re living. I’ve been in situations where it’s deja vu like crazy! I believe we live our lives over and over again, until we get it right. Who knows what the problem is, but until we make the right decisions we will be destined to repeat our mistakes. Hopefully some sort of memory of what came before will help us to not make that same mistake.

  31. Anonymous says:

    omg! that is exactally what happened to me!

  32. King_Fluffs 1st lutenent auron squadron says:

    Margerate im so sorry for whats happned to you.

  33. Mikayla says:

    This happened to me once i remember drowning and i never did drown.i also remember the name Crystal clearly (hilarious huh? crystal clear?) i cant remember anything else though.

  34. APOORVA says:

    IT IS POSSIBLE,AS I MYSELF HAD EXPERIENCED WITH SAME PROBLEM .AND IT MAY BE TRUTH.

  35. maddie says:

    That happened to me before. I kept talking about a girl named Shana. Turns out I used to be a firl named Shana Covin.

  36. phoebuzzer says:

    maybe this is where de ja vu comes from, i wonder what i was in a previous life

  37. donna says:

    all i know is in my past life i was a southern bell i am fasinated with the old south like in gone with the wind.the clothing the atmosphere i feel in my past life i came from the south.but it is odd my grandmother came from lebanon in 1910.and my grandfather was french so i can’t really make the connection.but that is what i feel so strongly.i also believe i was a young woman in the 1930s early fourtys.

  38. Katherine Knowles Best says:

    I think you all are insane! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! You all need to get a life.

    Get a boyfriend or girlfriend and take a break from the computer will you?

    byebyebye

  39. The Caretaker says:

    Hello Katherine, why do you think that? I mean you took the time to read this and then you went on to post your comment about it so why not tell us why we are all insane? :)

  40. Amber says:

    i think i scared my mom badly when i was about six, because all i know is i went to see (whom i now recognize as) a mental therapist far away (who later became the therapist at my school…possibly to watch me? case study maybe?). when asked what year i was born i said “I was born in 1592.” when my mom corrected me and said “Don’t you mean 1988?” I said “Yeah, whatever” looking at her strangely. Stranger still, I’ve always had a fascination for late medieval-early victorian era clothing. I love the cotehardies they wore, the underkirtles, corsets, etc and even the button up shoes. I love horses and would love to have a carriage or wagon of some sort. I also am perfectly ok with cooking using my hands to mix things and using a fire oven and making my own clothing and whatnot. I also had a past life vision of being a young victorianesque lady being shoved out a window (or lured out…i had a vision of a suave, debonaire vampire-like figure saying he’ll catch me and then he simply didn’t)…

  41. iluvhorror says:

    WOW that is scary u may have a gift well thats wat i think. and my cousin said stuff like that like she wanted her mom but she died wen she was 14 and she said she misses her dog but that was wen she was about 3 or 4. and i believe in past lives 100% but i think most ppl dont remeber them but the strange thing is she said she knew how to swim and her mom knew she was talking about a past life

    i didnt listen 2 her very mush tho

  42. Aayusha says:

    Cece. Your ondition is much better thann mine. I remember that since I was 3 I started seeing strange things. Once in kindergarden I heard someone shouting my name quite clearly but when I looked around I found out no one really was. There were a lot of people around and still no one noticed. Everything beame normal after that. 2 years later on my 5th b’day when I was about to cut the cake I saw a strange woman standing beside me. I asked my mom who that women was but she said she could see noone. Then again everythig was normal until a year ago(I’m 12 right now). I don’t remember anything like that but my family and friends and everyone who was there with me at the time says that(I was having a dinner with my family and bff)I suddenly fel down from my chair, the pupils of my eyes dissappeared and only the whites were left. And I started saying”I won’t leav you people. How dare you lock me in my room. I know you wanted to kill me. I’ll kill you”. My parents had never locked me. Things aren’t normal since then. I stll keep having strange visions even now.

  43. Debbie says:

    When I was a little girl, I entered an old apartment building where relatives lived (in Louisville, Kentucky) and I remember all of the wallpaper looked familiar to me and I knew when I walked in the whole layout of this big place and what each room was going to look like before I entered the rooms and KNEW in my mind that I had been in this place before.

  44. MellL says:

    i am so fascinated by all of this. according to my mom, i was about 4 or 5 when i told her how badly my uncle was hurt, told them my uncle was stabbed, while they had it on the report that he drowned. my dad was a policeman at the time and wanted to spare my grandmother that. my confirmed the hole, made by a screw driver or something similar. i also had dreams about a place, close to a river, surrounded by trees, with a lot of shacks. they later started to think that it might’ve been where he was killed, as it was the last place they saw him alive. please note that i have never been there and was about 1 when my uncle died, but clearly identified him by his name and could show where he was on family pics.

    another incident happened with my daughter, when she was 2 months old. it was just the 2 of us at home, as her twin sister went with my sister to fetch my mom. i was in the kitchen, when i heard her laughing out loud (at 2 months!) i decided to record her from the front. she was looking to the side the whole time, then smiled, turn her head again. when i played back the recording, u could clearly see a shadow going pass behind her! luckily i didnt know then.lol. another incident with my daughter, was when she was with my mom and pointed to my wardrobe, my mom didnt know what it was about, so she went there, on the other side, i had a picture of my dad, that i put there just after my dad died, which was 2 years before they were born. my family are all fascinated with it though, they believe my dad is watching over my girls

  45. TheLostGirl says:

    I felt so much emotions when I read this. It’s just like me, almost. I have had, what people like to call “visions” but in my dreams. And nightmares keeps repeating over and over again. It is always the same, and i see it from my own eyes. It always starts with me in the arms of a woman, who is singing a lullaby for me. Then i’m in a bathroom a few years older and brushing my teeth. Loud explosions are heard outside and i go to check it. Everywhere i look i only see fire blood and bodies. I run away from it. Up a hill, but it never seem to end. A man appears before me, and i have to stop to avoid running into him. He takes out a knife and walks towards me. In his eyes i see a dark room. In the room he stands with the knife behind a woman and a man (the same woman the held me and sang to me). He stabbed them and then went upstairs to children’s rooms. They were all asleep and stabbed to death. He tries to kill me but i run. And run into darkness. And then i wake up. I have had this nightmare since i was 4 or something and now i am 13! Is it from my past life or something? Is someone or something trying to tell me what happened to me?

  46. amanda says:

    I’ve had memories like these. xcept I still remember mine. When I was younger I didn’t to much speak my mind I didn;t speak my thoughts and I wouldn’t tawk to ne1 about nething personal. But now today, now that I do. I mention to mom offten and try to makes jokes about things that we did wen I was little and and tel her about things I did. and alot of the time she tells me that never happened. Now she starts looking at me strange exspecially now that I’ve told her about ‘THE MAN IN THE PICTURE’ but the memories like that i have of things are places were I’ve lived and. and I know that this sounds crazy but is it possible to be living two live at once, two different spirits? I wish I had an answer

  47. angel says:

    well i do believe , because.my friend in school is smart and when we usually in social studies we talk about the civil war and he tell us so much he even says how he was when he was 18 at the war when he saw his best friend die he is just weird .. but now i get the reason

  48. james says:

    i remember at when i was 7 or 8 i said germany awakes out of the blue, in german and i dont know how to speak german.i got chills when i went to auswitz, and ‘zorn’ gives me the chills, i beleive i was a nazi in a pst life, and still say german words out of the blue.

  49. Alby says:

    Don’t believe in all these! Not yet happened in my life atleast,so no point in believing.

  50. iluvhorror says:

    even though wen ur kathlic or christian u learn that wen u die u go 2 heaven for being a kind person or to hell for having a mean and evil soul. but i do believe in god 100% and angels and everything like that. but i also believe in past lifes, u may thnk im going past my religion but no. i believe god promises us eteral life and e lets us choose wen we die if we want 2 live longer or if we have something speial bout us or if we want 2 rest peacefully with him (him i mean god)
