My 5 yr old Cousin Behaves like Ancestor by SultanOfPuna: 6:40pm On Oct 15, 2022
I never beloved in reincarnation
But after visiting my aunt. I have been left speechless from what I saw.
My grandad died 2001.
My cousin was born 2017
This boy is an ancestor in disguise

He eats just exactly like my grandfather.
My grandad had a unique style of rolling Eba before he eats.
This boy does exactly like that when he is eating Eba
I have never seen anybody roll eba like my grandad. Only this boy and nobody taught him.
I asked my aunt, and she confessed to me that the thing frightens her as nobody taught him how to roll Eba like my grandad.

To make matters worse, this boy keeps disturbing my aunt to take him to village so he can see their compound.
Once they decided to go to village, this boy was walking around the whole compound like he has been there before.

And to cap it off, he likes to seat in the chair my grandad loved sitting.

How can a 5 year old be saying and doing things like ancestors.
Is it possible that my grandad reincarnated into my 5 year old cousin cry

Edit: im worried my aunt might see this,
so I have removed some details just to keep it anonymous.

The coincidence is too much
He has the exact mannerisms of my late grandad. Plus the things that come out of his mouth sometimes is mind blowing.

How can a 5year old be saying things like
Mummy I want to go back to my house (village)
Mummy why don't you serve me food like you do when you were small.
Omo it's not normal oooo

We just too funny for this continent whalai. Abeg if the mother is so scared of the way he rolls eba then she should feed him just rice, beans or bread and let's check what happens next.. They young boy just took some traits of his grandfather which is absolutely very normal so I don't understand the fear you people are having.

.

Reincarnation can never be proven scientifically, so it is simply subject to your beliefs & imaginations.
But certain features & behavioral traits are actually transmitted via genes to offsprings.

A three-year-old boy in Syria's Golan Heights region has suddenly become the centre of attention after he revealed that he was murdered with an axe in his previous life.

The boy, of the Druze ethnic group, was born with a long, red birthmark on his head. According to Druze beliefs, birthmarks are related to past-life deaths. When the boy was old enough to talk, he told his family that he had been killed with an axe blow to his head.

As is the custom, the elders took the child to the home of his previous life to see if he remembers it. And sure enough, the boy knew the village he was from and once he arrived there, he remembered the name he had in his past life.

Locals told the elders that the man who the boy was claiming to be had gone missing four years earlier. When asked, the boy also remembered the full name of his killer. When the alleged killer was confronted, his face turned white, but he did not admit to murder.

The boy then took the elders to where the body was buried and in that very spot, they found a man's skeleton with a wound to the head that corresponded with the boy's birthmark. They also recovered the axe with which he had been killed.

Faced with the evidence, the killer then admitted to the crime.

The boy's full story has been documented in the book, "Children Who Have Lived Before: Reincarnation Today" by German therapist Trutz Hardo.

Your story is FAR MORE believable than the story of Jesus rising from the dead after 3 days in the grave.

Op if you're Igbo you don't need to be surprised. The Igbo people of Nigeria strongly believes in reincarnation despite Christianity being there for UpTo 100yrs.

The Igbo people are still one of the ethnic groups that call on ancestors to eat and dine with them especially during the time of feasting.

If you go to Igbo burial ceremony devoid of Christian rites, you'll see the elders of the land beckoning the man in the casket to come back as a better man or woman in his or her next life.

Some families strongly believe in this. They don't need western world to substantiate this for them.

Do you also wish to know that many of the people agitating for Biafra republic now were war and unsung heroes in the Biafran war of the 60's...

During their mass burial, the community cried and summon their spirit to come back; Perhaps to finish their unfinished work. No surprise of uprising of Biafran spirit both in Nigeria and diaspora.

Reincarnation is an Igbo thing and that's why they don't joke with their surname

not everything that has a name or description actually exists.
This supernatural BS was cooked in the past to scare people as far as I know.
The only thing you can't see but it exist is air (u can feel it). Apart from that, every other thing is made up.

It is possible to pass memories through genetics.
Like say for example, jerking or hypnic response when dreaming you are falling, it's a survival trait passed by your ancestors because they fall quite often when they sleep when they sleep on trees.

Or people having dreams they are drowning when they haven't drown before. It's also a memory from your ancestors. It

It hasn't been fully confirmed yet.
If behavior can be passed through genetics, so also memories.
The child behaving like his grandad isn't any form of reincarnation, it's his grandad, like the way people walk, talk or laugh like their parents.
You are more likely to take up trait from your grandparents than your parent actually. This is scientifically proven
