What do the cases of the reincarnation type tell us about the mind beyond the brain?

International review of psychiatry (Abingdon, England) January 1, 2025 Jim B Tucker 1 citation

For 60 years, researchers have systematically studied over 2,500 cases worldwide in which young children report memories of a previous life. In the strongest cases, children have provided details that proved strikingly accurate for a specific deceased individual, sometimes living far from the child's family. This overview presents illustrative case reports, reviews the types of evidence suggesting an anomalous connection between the child and the deceased, and considers possible explanations for the phenomenon.
