I’ve two instances;
I worked in a nursery and there was a little girl from a place in Africa, she barely spoke any English . Her dad was actually the leader of his tribe back in her home country so she was somewhat deemed a princess of sorts. She had a very demure heir around her for a 3 year old. She was very grownup. She walked up to a colleuge of mine, placed both hands on her stomach, kissed it and said BABIES. And walked away. Turns out she was pregnant with twins, she found out a couple of weeks later.
About 5 months later she walked up to me, places her hand on my stomach and again announced BABIES , and walked away... lo and behold a couple of weeks later..... (not twins though)

And my own LO went through a phase of asking to see her ‘other mummy’ and telling me she was a nice lady 😳

My son just turned 2 he never left his bed once it was dark not out of fear he just didn't he was very good. Suddenly I heard a cry was different to his normal one's went to his bed he wasn't in it panicking I turned the light on he was squashed between the wall and the wardrobe that was always right up against the wall crying his eyes out. It had moved about 1 to 2 feet. Never forget it.

When DD2 was small she stood staring at me while I was reading. She asked if I had got to the part with the fire yet. In the book the characters were running from a forest fire.
Also DD2, at a local stately home at Christmas, her first visit there.
She exclaimed "oh I remember here, it's where we came to see the tree and dance. I hated walking through the snow. " Poor woman who worked there nearly dropped and said the servants families walked up to the house at Christmas to see the tree and have a party.
My friends son used to tell her a very detailed story about his past life. Names of streets, jobs, neighbours family etc, it never changed.
In work a child put his ear to my stomach and told me he could hear the baby. I went home and did a test and was pregnant.

babyshark I'm scared of heights so have never been up it. I've been to the base to watch the fireworks but it was actually pretty disappointing doing that as you are looking down on them rather than up.

Just remembered when ds1 was 2 ish we were out for a walk and he started talking about hearing and smelling fire. There had been a fire there many years ago.

My second son could tell us “who he was before he was his name until he was about 4. It’s a very old fashioned name and he can describe the cobbles that he walked on to work in a bakery and then sewing. It was very lovely actually. He definitely does have an old soul, and I genuinely believe he remembers a past life.

My DD2 (aged 4) is convinced that she has had a previous family. Apparently they weren't very kind and used to make her do all the jobs around the house and were mean, so she decided to come and live with us instead.

My son woke up screaming. I went in to see him and he said "someone looking me" and pointed to his monitor. Super creepy at the time.

@Twoweekcruise
Did you look around the graveyard? I would have had a read of the gravestones. Although if you came across one that matched, it might be too freaky!

My grandma was a house keeper at an old Georgian farm house. It was huge and stood in its own grounds in the middle of nowhere. When the owner died, my grandma was asked to clean the house out. A few family members went to help her, including me and my younger cousin who was 4. We ran around this huge old house, had great fun but then went upstairs into one of the bedrooms and there was a massive black fireplace. It scared the shit out of me, no idea why but I was utterly creeped out by it and quite upset by it so I went back downstairs to stay with the adults.
My cousin came down shortly afterwards looking quite upset with himself. My grandma asked him what was wrong and he said the old lady upstairs told him off for playing near the fireplace!! This was over 30 years ago and he still won't discuss it.

An older cousin spent some time there too when the owner still lived there. He used to happily play in the outhouses until one day he came back into the house crying saying he wanted to leave. After that day he would never step foot in the house again and still won't say what happened.

My ds 4.5 has been repeatedly talking about how he used to look after me when i was little! He's been saying these things for about 18 months and also how he knew nanny ( my mum) when she didnt need to wear glasses.
The other night he said " i was crying when you were dead mummy but then you were little again and you got a new mummy "

When dd was about 3 we visited a botanical garden in France. It had an exhibition space in which some paintings were displayed, and we were having a look. There was nobody else in there, and dd was mooching around contentedly, singing quietly to herself, in her own little world. Dh thought it was sweet and he videoed her on his phone.

It was only later that night when we played back the video and listened to her actual words, that we realised she was singing “Daddy’s in a box, Daddy can’t get out” Shock

Well I woke up this morning to hear my eldest saying to her brother
‘I’m not playing I’m just dead. You be the dead cat’
Extremely strange what goes on in their minds

Oh Cocolepew your story has reminded me of another.

The child here wasn't mine, but a visitor in one of the National Trust property rooms where my DM is a guide. It was a quiet day, he came in with his parents but was lagging behind, he was about 7 or 8 and the convo with my mum went roughly like this:

Boy: Hello! Do you live here?
Mum: Hello. No dear, i just show people the rooms.
Boy: Ah. Where's the other chair gone? (points at ancient green chaise lounge by window)
Mum: Well - there was a matching chair in here, but it got badly damaged in a fire a hundred years ago. (only the house records show this. not public knowledge)
Boy: Yes. They were pink.
Mum: yeeees Confused yes they were pink but the owners put new green velvet on this one because the pink got all smelly in the fire.
Boy: They used to be over there (gesticulates to either side of massive fireplace)
Mum: When there were two of them they were yes ...
Boy: ... yes and the lady with a big dress used to like to sit on the one on that side and do sewing.
Mum: ....
Boy: Bye!
Mum: Bye ... HmmShock[confusion]

One night I woke up in pitch darkness to the feeling of someone lightly stroking my hair and a voice softly saying, "mummy, are you dead?"

I've never been so awake so fast in all my life...

DS2 (age 2) pointing at the monument we can see from his window in the house we'd just moved into says "there is a very nasty man called the Master that lives in that tower, he is very cruel to the Mistress, I tried to help back when I was a man but he chased me with an axe!."

As is a 2 year old said that?
