Many cultures believe in reincarnation, including the Druze community in the Golan Heights. One striking case involves a 3-year-old boy who claimed he was murdered with an axe in a past life.
Born with a red birthmark on his head—believed by the Druze to indicate how someone died—the boy shocked locals by pointing out a village, his supposed burial site, and even the murder weapon’s location. To everyone’s surprise, a skeleton and axe were found exactly where he said.
Dr. Eli Lasch, a respected physician, witnessed the discovery. His account was later included in Trutz Hardo’s book Children Who Have Lived Before.
This isn’t the only case. American boy James Leininger remembered dying in a WWII plane crash, later confirmed by records. A Thai child with matching birthmarks also recalled a violent death that aligned with historical events.
Whether coincidence or proof, these stories continue to spark debate
