In a surprising story from abroad, a mother shared her child's unusual experience. When her son was just 3 years old, he mentioned a name he had never heard before: John Wilson. Curiosity led her to search for information, resulting in an astonishing discovery.
Laighanne McLaughlin discussed on TikTok how, while picking up her son from preschool, the teacher expressed concern that he repeatedly mentioned the name John Wilson. Initially confused, as she did not recognize the name, she found it incredible when her son claimed to know the man, describing him as 'the flag bearer on the mountain' and stating they were friends.
The mother and teacher searched online together using an iPad, and they were shocked to find a black-and-white photo of a man with the same name: Captain John Wilson of Kentucky's 8th Infantry, who became the first federal soldier to raise the flag on Mount Lookout during the Civil War on November 24, 1863.
Now, 11 years later, Laighanne is still perplexed as to why a 3-year-old would have such knowledge. More intriguingly, John Wilson lived just 4 miles from where they reside, leading her to ponder the possibility of reincarnation.
