This case concerns a young boy in Baalchmay, Lebanon, who made specific
statements before several family members asserting memories of a previous
life, such as being a man who carried pistols and hand-grenades, having
a mute friend, describing a house, having children, living in the village
of Quaberchamoun, and being shot by armed people. The case is unusual
because when the child was taken at age 7 to the village, a corresponding
deceased person was identified by means of his claimed memories, and
the widow and the man's brother became certain of the authenticity of
the child's reincarnation through his correct answers to their questions,
recognition of people and possessions, and his own knowledgeable questions
to them.
