Development of Certainty About the Correct Deceased Person in a Case of the Reincarnation Type in Lebanon: The Case of Nazih Al-Danaf

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-gre- nades, 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 corre- sponding 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, recog- nition of people and possessions, and his own knowledgeable questions to them.
