Yes, there are some. In certain cultures, there have been accounts where children seem to recall details from past lives that are later verified. For example, in some cases, children have described specific locations, people, or events from a supposed previous life, and upon investigation, these details match historical facts or the experiences of families related to the past life. However, the scientific community is still divided on how to interpret such phenomena.
In some cultures, children reincarnation stories are an important part of their beliefs. While science has not been able to prove the existence of reincarnation, we also can't completely dismiss these stories. There may be aspects of human consciousness that we are not aware of. Maybe there are other explanations for what seems like reincarnation in children, such as latent memories passed down genetically or some form of subconscious information retrieval. But as of now, without solid scientific proof, it remains a mystery and for many in the scientific community, just superstition.
There are also stories from different cultures. In some Asian cultures, children are said to remember past lives. For example, a child might claim to have lived in a certain village before and be able to describe people and places there accurately. These stories often involve the child showing unusual knowledge or behavior related to the supposed past life. They might have a strong aversion to something that was related to their past - life death, like a child being terrified of water because they drowned in a past life.
Some people believe they are real. There are many accounts of children claiming to remember past lives, often with very specific details about places, people, and events. However, from a scientific perspective, there is no conclusive evidence yet to prove their authenticity.
To verify children reincarnation stories, we need to be very meticulous. Firstly, document every single claim the child makes. This includes things like names, places, events, and relationships. Then, start the investigation. For places, we can use historical records, maps, and local knowledge. If it's about people, try to find family trees or contact relatives. We also need to rule out other possibilities like the child overhearing stories from adults, or getting information from books or media. It's a complex process that requires a lot of cross - checking and elimination of alternative explanations.
One famous children's reincarnation story is that of James Leininger. He claimed to remember being a World War II pilot named James Huston. He had vivid memories of his plane being shot down over the Pacific, details that were later verified. Another is the story of Shanti Devi from India. As a young child, she claimed to remember her past life in great detail, including the name of her previous family and the location of her former home.

Another example is the story of a child in India who remembered being a merchant in his past life. He could recall the types of goods he traded, the names of his business partners, and the layout of the marketplace where he used to do business. These stories are fascinating, but as mentioned before, they are not conclusive proof of reincarnation, and there could be other explanations such as the child picking up information from the environment or from stories told around them without realizing it.
However, some researchers in the field of parapsychology think that there could be something more to it. They suggest that perhaps there are aspects of consciousness that we don't fully understand yet. It could be that these children are somehow tapping into a collective unconscious or some form of past - life memory storage. But this is highly controversial and not accepted by mainstream science. There have been many studies trying to verify the authenticity of these stories, but so far, no evidence has been found that can stand up to strict scientific scrutiny.
On the other hand, for those who are skeptical, children's reincarnation stories don't really change their view of the afterlife. They may think that there are scientific explanations for these stories, such as the child being influenced by things they've heard or seen. But for many others, these stories at least plant a seed of doubt about the simplicity of the traditional afterlife concepts and encourage them to explore different possibilities.
