A three-year-old boy from the Golan Heights claimed he had been murdered in a past life.

He described how he was killed with an axe, pointed to where his body was buried, and even named his killer. “Here is where they buried me,” he said, leading villagers to a grave where a skeleton and axe were discovered—just as he described.

Dr. Eli Lasch, a respected physician, witnessed the event. His account was later shared in Children Who Have Lived Before by Trutz Hardo. One eerie detail: the boy had a red birthmark on his head, which he said matched the fatal wound he suffered in a past life. The Druze and other cultures believe birthmarks may be signs of injuries from previous lives.

As the boy grew older, he confronted the man he claimed had killed him. At first, the man denied it—but after the remains and weapon were found, he reportedly confessed in private.

Some called it coincidence. Others saw it as powerful evidence of reincarnation.
