What happens when your toddler is haunted by memories that aren’t hers?

So, this isn’t news, nor is it science, per se. But I wanted to share here because I was one of those kids from about 2 to 4. As mentioned in the story, it of course all faded thereafter, but I could talk at length about my life in Texas even though I had never been. My parents found it odd but not entirely outside expectations.

    The Dorothy Eady always stuck with me. It’s fairly well documented.

    After falling down the steps at home, she nearly died. When she came back to life, memories were unlocked of a prior life in Egypt in which she was a priestess in an egyptian temple. She would go on to have a very successful career working in Egyptian antiquities.

    As for the really really weird shizz, anyones guess. I try not to just arbitrarily cut someone down, but it’s unlikely there would be proof of her having a conversation to an ancient diety.
