First of all, I'm going to be referencing a program I recall seeing that touches on the issue. I can't recall the exact program but if it sounds familiar or if anyone has additional details about it that I missed, please share them here.
I recall a story I heard about 6 months ago about a boy exhibiting some strange behavior. Ultimately, it was discovered that he was exhibiting habits and mannerisms identical to a man who died shortly before the child's birthdate. The reason this comparison was discovered, if I recall correctly, was because the boy still had memories of this man's life and would express them. After research was done, the family found a man that matched all these phenomenon. Once the boy hit a certain age, around 5 if I recall, he proceeded to loose all these memories.
I believe I likely saw this story on the Science channel, but I don't recall for certain. The idea certainly creped me out, but I recall I found it hard evidence to dispute. Obviously someone looking in hindsight might see connections that aren't really there, take ambiguous fortune tellers of the past for example, but I found this to be much more convincing.
To be honest, I find the idea of reincarnation with no end much more alluring than the possibility of residing in hell for all eternity. Have you any thoughts or beliefs on the topic? If you have any knowledge of what program/ story I am referring to, I'd gladly like to hear it! Thanks for reading.
