Some people believe they are real. There are many accounts where little kids seem to have memories of past lives that are too detailed to be just made up. For example, in some cases, kids have accurately described people and places from a supposed past life.
Many of these reincarnation kid stories are not considered real in the scientific community. Science generally relies on evidence that can be tested and measured. Memories in kids could be influenced by many factors like dreams, things they've seen on TV or in books. But on the other hand, from a spiritual or religious point of view, in some cultures like Hinduism and Buddhism where reincarnation is a fundamental belief, these stories are seen as real manifestations of the cycle of rebirth. They believe that the soul can be reborn and carry memories from past lives, but this is more a matter of faith than scientific fact.
One well - known reincarnation kid story is that of James Leininger. He was a young boy who claimed to be a World War II pilot named James Huston. He had vivid memories of flying a plane, details about the ship he was on, and even the way he died in the war. It was quite astonishing as a young child having such specific memories related to a past life.
Personally, I'm a bit skeptical. While these stories are fascinating, there could be other explanations. For example, kids might have overactive imaginations or be influenced by things they've seen or heard.

One common element is detailed knowledge. For example, kids often know specific facts about a time or place that they couldn't have learned in their current life. Another is a strong sense of identity related to the past life. They might refer to themselves by the name they had in the 'previous life'.
One of the famous ones is the case of Shanti Devi. As a young girl in India, she claimed to remember her past life in great detail, including the name of her former husband and the location of her previous home. When investigated, many of the things she said seemed to be true. Another is the story of James Leininger, an American boy who had vivid memories of being a World War II pilot.
Well, I'm not sure. On one hand, those little kid reincarnation stories are really strange and seem to suggest something beyond our understanding. But on the other hand, there could be other explanations. Maybe they just overheard some stories and then thought they were their own past - life memories. So, I'm on the fence about believing them.
One well - known little kid reincarnation story is that of James Leininger. He claimed to be a World War II pilot named James Huston. He had vivid memories of flying a plane, details about the battleship Natoma Bay, and even recognized his former comrades. Another story is about a young girl who remembered her past life in a different village, knew the names of people there and specific events that had happened.
There was a girl who said she was a servant in an old mansion in a past life. She could describe the layout of the mansion, which was long since demolished. She also knew about the people who lived there, their names and their relationships. It was strange because she had no way of knowing this information in her current life. It sent shivers down people's spines when she told her story.
