The women of Bareilly were disappearing. For over a year, fear gripped the villages. Between June 2023 and July 2024, nine women were found dead in sugarcane fields. Their bodies lay hidden among the tall stalks, their lives cruelly stolen by an unseen hand. The killer moved like a ghost, striking and vanishing without a trace. At first, the police thought these were isolated cases: a robbery gone wrong, a personal dispute, or an accident. But as the pattern emerged, a terrifying realization spread: a serial killer was on the loose. He had a signature strangulation, with the knots always tied to the left. He killed with precision, leaving behind no clues, no evidence. The people of Bareilly lived in fear, locking their doors before nightfall, whispering about the murderer who walked among them. Then, in July 2024, the police caught a man: Kuldeep Kumar Gangwar. When questioned, he simply smiled and confessed, "I killed six." But if he admitted to six, who killed the other thr...

Do you have any questions about death that intrigue you? Let me present a bold statement: death is not the final destination, but a timeout for what comes next. This idea is called rebirth more commonly known as reincarnation.
The concept of rebirth, or reincarnation, explains that our souls embark on an unending journey, transitioning from one life to another. It is simply mind-blowing to fathom the depth and diversity of existence and the ways this world has emerged over the years.
One of the many works that inspire contemplation of ideas such as rebirth is merely a mystery of which no explanation exists or has authority to control being.
Most people believe and are aware that rebirth is primarily associated with a particular culture or ethnicity. This belief spans various cultures and religions, each offering unique perspectives on what happens after we die. Their interpretations of death and when a rebirth takes place have notable differences.One of the many works that inspire contemplation of ideas such as rebirth is merely a mystery of which no explanation exists or has authority to control being.

Buddhism: Similar to Hinduism, Buddhism preaches that the consequences of your actions in your current life will follow you to your next life. However, your soul should no longer be eternal because being eternally limitless means your emotions and thoughts can influence your next life. The primary objective is reaching nirvana, which is achieving a state devoid of rebirth.
Is the Afterlife Real? Here’s What Ancient Cultures Believed:
Hinduism: Hindus believes a cycle known as samsara, which entails the cycle of birth, rebirth, and death. This cycle suggests that one's actions (karma) influence their future existences. The rebirth into a new life and body that is fundamentally determined by characteristics or actions, referred to as karma, from a past life.
In the case of good inhabitants, they will be rewarded for positive deeds and will thus find it easier to progress through all the phases of life. Negative actions will lead to suffering for people who display unethical or immoral Karma.
Within this domain, there is an effort to break free from the cycle, and that is to achieve moksha or liberation. Moksha will lead a soul to be free from these worldly boundations and rebirth cycle, and achieve the divine.

Jainism: Jain scholars claim that a soul will transform into different life forms repeatedly until it is pure and moksha is achieved, allowing liberation from all karma.
Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism): Some teachings explain gilgul neshamot, which means the soul goes through multiple reincarnations until it has reached a sufficient level of spirituality.
New Age and Western Spirituality: Eastern and Western religions are merged into more modernized types of spirituality. This belief suggests that souls undergo multiple lifetimes to learn, evolve, and develop.
Islam: Unlike Hinduism and other religions, Islam doesn't suggest any kind of reincarnation but resurrection. Islam believes that each person has only one life to live, after which they will be resurrected and judged on the basis of their actions (karma).
In Islam, they believe that the soul enters Barzakh after death, which is a waiting phase before the day of judgement.
Akhirah (Afterlife): Based on their actions, individuals will either be rewarded with Jannah (Heaven) or punished in Jahannam (Hell) for eternity.Therefore, Islamic teachings reject the idea of rebirth or reincarnation but emphasize inevitable existence of one's soul after resurrection.

If you act in kindness and honesty, the world is more likely to be better for you in the next life in comparison to thehardships you will be forced to deal with if you choose to be malicious towards others.
Shanti Devi: The Girl Who Knew Too Much
Shanti, who lived in Delhi, India in 1926, claimed to have lived in a city called Mathura and said that she used to be a woman called Lugdi Devi who had died whilst giving birth to a son. Shanti not only described this mysterious place in almost astonishing detail but when taken there, she started recognizing familiar faces.This implies that they were married and had become even more familiar with Shanti's younger siblings who seemingly emerged out of nowhere. Even her relatives that she recently met remembered and recognized key details and other family members that Shanti had so perfectly imaged.
So when researchers confirmed her story with records of her husband's deceased wife's details, they had no option but to believe that Shanti was telling the truth. Piled-up controversies can be countered with plenty more controversies supporting the hypothesis that reincarnation does indeed exist.
2. James Leininger: The Boy Who Fought WWII (Again)

After searching thoroughly, they discovered the investigation documents which contained the details of a middle-aged man, James Huston Jr, who died while piloting and also collided with a Corsair plane. James was able to learn the information about his former life family and life details that were never provided to him.

Eady Eady Dorothy is Commonly referred to as a dot. A Briton whose life started at around age 5, rolled off the stairs and hit her head, which came within an inch of killing her. Dorothy has a schyzoide-like pattern, which became prominent after this incident. Her identity shifts varied from her previous self to her version of the ancient Egyptian priestess Bentreshyt.
To her surprise, Dorothy’s Obsession with Egypt made complete sense when she started to actively study the ancient civilization. She seamlessly identified multiple archaeological sites and historical locations without having been to them. Later she immigrated to Egypt where she resided, and worked at many archaeological sites and remembered temples that were in her head.
