I met up with an old friend and his folks yesterday. They are lovely people. After the "olds" went shopping, I cut loose with my friend and went to the pub (likely against the wishes of the much more sensible parents).
My friend has been living out in the east and recounted a curious legend about a settlement of some Druze people. Seemingly they believe that when one is three years old they regain memories of how they died in a past life, the moment a birth-mark appears. One boy had a birth-mark on his forehead and had a vision when he was three years old. He told the village elders what he saw. They went to another village nearby and the boy said to the elders as he pointed at a man, "That's him, that was the man who murdered me."
The man went white as a sheet, but denied any wrong-doing. They went to a house where the child led them to, and to a particular spot. Indeed, after a little digging, they exhumed the corpse of a twenty year old man with a mark on his forehead, where he had been struck with an axe. The accused man confessed to having murdered the boy in his past life.
Much more happened during our conversation to do with other esoteric matters, but I thought I would share just one example.
