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.

I'm getting paywalled and can't be bothered getting around it but I've read a lot about this from the researchers who study it, it's quite interesting. Is it possible that cells can have memory? Of course. Could energy persist beyond the physical? Sure.

I wouldn't call myself a believer but I'm definitely a curious observer.
