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
