OO00OO0HHH SPOOKY!
HEY GUYS! in case you forgot, ghosts is real! Here’s a listeners story about her father's incredible reincarnation story!!!!!! Have a story that relates? Let's chat in the comments!
"My father is from a really small village in eastern Turkey. He was
raised Muslim but I would say he’s now agnostic, if that. My whole
life I’ve known him to be incredibly practical and science based in
his thinking. It was my mom who raised me on all the, “woo woo shit”,
as y’all say. I was about 23 and having lunch with my mom on a visit
home when she casually dropped, “When I met your dad, he would always
burn a lot of incense and talk about reincarnation" I’m immediately
like, “Who?! My dad?!”
So, apparently, the story goes; when my dad was born, he was bleeding
from a gash in his side. The scar is still visible today. As a kid, he
spoke at length about a different village and the fear of a man that
lived there. One day, a beggar wandered into their village and upon
seeing my dad, told him, “I know who you are." He told my grandparents
that my dad was a boy from a different village who had died after
being stabbed by his own father (yes, stabbed in his side!).
Apparently, a few years later, an American author was traveling through
Turkey to write a book about reincarnation in Middle Eastern cultures and heard
about my dad’s story. He actually came and interviewed him and his family.
When I got home after hearing this story, I immediately pressed my dad
for more information. He nonchalantly shrugged at me and walked to his
bedside table which held a small chest of his personal belongings. He
handed me a letter. I guess after my dad moved to the US, he tracked down the
author and wrote to him. This letter was the author’s response and the picture of the
two people is the one the author took of my father and grandfather. It is actually
the only photo my dad has from his childhood."
