Random People Describe Their Creepiest Past Lives Stories (21 items)

• (#19) She Was Trapped Underwater

  From Redditor /u/chizzle91:

  I have a few things.

  When I was younger, as in, maybe 2-4 years old, I'd have dreams about being trapped underwater. They were reoccurring nightmares and to this day I'm afraid of swimming under things. I mentioned it to my mom a few years ago and she told me around the time I was born, she kept having dreams that she was a Native American back in the day, and she had to go gathering food. When she came back our tribe had been attacked and she found me face-down in the water in a nearby frozen lake.

  Completely different bit here, my mother-in-law says when my husband first started talking he'd constantly ask if she remembered when he drowned, and act confused when she obviously said no.

  Apparently we have a thing for water.
• (#3) Now You're The Dad

  From Redditor /u/BaldingOne:

  My son said something to me when he was 2-2.5 years old, we were on top of the stairs while I was fixing something (can't remember what) and he said to me "Funny. Me were daddy, now you daddy"... I'd be about 29/30 by then and my father died when I was 11... He only said it that once and I've never told him... Never told anyone apart from my best friend about 20 years ago...
• (#9) He Pointed Out Where He Died

  From a former Redditor:

  I was around 10 years old and at the time, my brother was 6. We were driving across a bridge and out of nowhere my brother says "Look Mommy, I died right over there!" And he points towards the railing of the bridge. Kind of freaked me and my mom out pretty hard. Years later, I've asked my brother if he remembers what he said, and he doesn't.
• (#20) A 1940s Serial Killer

  From Redditor /u/Drabbeynormalblues:

  I have something to add. Since as long as I can remember, I've had vivid dreams about being a serial killer from the 1940s or 1950s. I lived in an old farm house in the middle of the woods secluded from everyone. I buried my victims (all women with medium length, jet black hair, and very pretty) on my property. There are at least 50 if not more. I've been dreaming about this guy since I can remember and the details never change. I don't have a name or location, but it bothers me enough that I tried searching and I don't think I was ever caught.

  Sometimes I have moments where I genuinely "miss" my old life. In this life I wouldn't hurt a fly and have dedicated myself to helping people. Sometimes certain situations trigger feelings that are not really me, and I'm not sure where they come from. It's always the same type of girl, and always the same thoughts of how to disable her in order to get her back to my place. I've come to terms with it and pass it off as an intrusive thought, but I've never wanted to act on it in this life.

  Also, when I met my fiancé for the first time we hugged and we both got the feeling that we had been here and done this before. We both have one clear memory of being married in a past life. Growing up he had been given a doll as a gift that had long hair and blue eyes and he named it my name. I have long hair and blue eyes. When I was growing up, I passed the street he grew up on a lot though we never met until I started college. I used to get such a longing feeling every time I would pass that street like something important was there, but I didn't know what. I never knew how to explain that.

  Also, when my fiancé was four, his dad was having trouble putting a set of brakes together on a car. My fiancé came up to his dad and watched him for a few minutes, and proceeded to tell him in detail what he was doing wrong and the proper names of all the parts and tools he would need to finish the job.

   
• (#6) Creepy Memories Of Being Burned Alive

  From Redditor /u/Wtfguysreally:

  I've seen a me that doesn't look like me, drown in very cold, deep water repeatedly since I was very young. I've always had a morbid draw to the Titanic - before you ask I was born way before the movie. I've seen another me burn alive, feeling the fire burn and blister. Watching people watch me burn. I used to wake up screaming as a child that they were burning me to death.

  I've had an emotional connection to places I've never been, never seen before.
• (#2) Memories Of A Car Crash

  From Redditor /u/SecretThought:

  I still have a very short memory of a dream, although I can't remember actually having the dream, just the dream itself. It starts with a women who my dream-self identifies as my mother screaming for my safety. I turn around from whatever I was doing on the dirt road in a busy city to see the terror on her face. Then something crashes into me. I immediately get upset about the extremely consequential accident - I had plans and strategies for this life, and now I had to start over.

  Based off of the angle of my vision in this little scene, I can guess my height and say that the dream figure was probably around 6 or 7. Also, the fact that it was a dirt road in a busy city makes me think it was India or something, although I can't say for sure what the skin tone of the mother was (it might have helped). Also, this sounds like a fatal car crash, but the road was a dirt road, which seems really weird.

  I have a slight memory or looking out of a window at a small walled courtyard, feeling some pride about it and the dozens (or maybe up to 100) people who used it, many of whom were my offspring, and smiling a goodbye blessing.

  I remember as a very small child spending a long time trying to remember why I had chosen to be born this time as a girl, since everything that I was learning about the world seemed told me that it was categorically better to be a boy instead. Oddly, I have no idea what gender I was in the two memories of death.

  I also remember thinking that it was kind of unfair to compare me with some of the other elementary school students, because I could just remember things, while they were learning them for the first time.

  I also remember trying to ask my mother about these memories, but being careful just in case she didn't believe in life before birth. She didn't, so I couldn't ask anything more detailed.
