3. A New Family Meets An Old One
A young girl named Ampan reported memories of a former life at five years old. She told her mother she wanted to go home, but her mother said that she was already home and asked her what she meant. Ampan told her she was talking about Buhom, which was a neighboring village. Her parents had never been to Buhom and didn’t know anyone from there. Ampan told her parents that she had died in a hospital of Dengue fever. She said her name had been Somwong.
When Ampan was eight, her family attended a religious event in the village of Buhom. Upon their arrival in Buhom, Ampan led her mother to a home and said it had been hers. A woman came to the door and Ampan called her mother. This woman had had a daughter named Somwong who had died in hospital of Dengue fever. The woman allowed Ampan and her family inside and Ampan asked for an amulet that Somwong had owned and gave directions of where to find it. The amulet was where she had said it would be. Apparently Ampan continued to visit her previous family regularly.
