Stories of Reincarnation

True stories of reincarnation



Lucy and the tram

A little girl, by the name of Lucy Allison lived in a town called Grimsby, located in the north east of England. The child was out with her mother one day shopping in the city center, when she suddenly asked if this was where the trams used to go. There were no tramlines nearby, so her mother asked her why she had said this. To her surprise, Lucy replied, “I used to go this way on the trolley cars with my other mummy.”

When they arrived home from their shopping trip, Mrs. Allison told the story to her own mother, and was surprised to learn that old trams had indeed traveled down that street back in the 1920s.

As time went by, Lucy and her mother both forgot the incident until, many years later, 19-year old Lucy had a strangely vivid dream in which she was arguing with her boyfriend. The dream ended with her storming off in anger, only to feel a sudden and sharp pain in her side.

Lucy thought nothing of the dream, but a few weeks later, it returned. This time, she was dressed in 1920s clothing and was traveling on an old trolley car. She and her boyfriend were arguing with one another and she stormed off and tried to leave the tram before her stop. Her boyfriend called out. She looked back, suddenly everyone on the tram was shouting. She didn’t realize why until it was too late: the tram from the other direction hit and killed her instantly.

Lucy was upset with the dream and she discussed it with her mother who suggested they visit a medium. The medium took Lucy back to a past life in which she had been a girl named Anne, who traveled to work on the tram every morning.

The morning she had dreamed of was her birthday. She was planning a party, but her boyfriend had wanted to take her out alone. He said it was important, but she refused and left him, only to be knocked down and killed. They discovered Anne’s boyfriend had wanted to propose to her. At her funeral, the ring he had purchased for her was buried with her.

Lucy was relieved that she knew where the dream had come from. Her mother asked if she wanted to check it out at the record office, but Lucy declined. She now felt at peace with her past self.

The fear of fire

Phobias can sometimes be traced to trauma in a past life. In another interesting story, Catherine is shocked to discover that her fear of fire is linked to a secret from another time.

As a child, Catherine Dowling was terrified of fire, which her mother put down to the fact that she once burned her hand on the stove. One day when she was walking to a friend’s house through unfamiliar part of town, she felt a sudden shock. She was walking past a number of burned-out houses, homes which had been destroyed by German bombs during the second World War.

As Catherine looked at a smashed window, she suddenly found herself crying as she remembered a dream she had some years before, she had stolen her brother’s toy clown, but the house started burning, and they both died before she could give it back to him.

She checked at the record office a few days later and discovered that two children had died during bombing in that street in the war. She bought a toy clown and left it in the old house, and her guilt was eased, so Catherine was able to apologize to a brother she had wronged in a previous life.

Civil War tale
Jeffrey Keane, retired Assistant Fire Chief in Westport, Connecticut, had never read a book or magazine on the American Civil War, yet when visiting a Civil War battlefield, he was struck with an “anxiety reaction.” He could not breathe, started crying, and thought he was having a heart attack.
After about half an hour, Jeffrey made his way back to the car, without telling his wife what had happened, not understanding it himself. About eighteen months later, a psychic he met at a party asked if he believed in reincarnation. She told him he had died at the place he had the anxiety reaction, the location of the Battle of Antietam (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg).

The next day, Jeffrey began to do research about the Civil War period. He was looking through a book and found a photograph of a Civil War General, by the name of John B. Gordon, whose face was almost identical to Jeffery’s. Upon further examination, Jeffery discovered that he shared similar body “marks.” Jeffery had a “birthmark” in the exact spot on his cheek where Gordon was wounded in the face. He also shared the same cut of ‘beard” and shape of head. Gordon had died at the Battle of Sharpsburg where Jeffery had the anxiety attack.
