What’s the true story behind Titu Singh’s apparent reincarnation? After Titu was born, he began telling his family tales of a past life. “He would tell his mom and dad loads of stories about how he had a wife and two kids, and they owned a radio cassette shop,” [Tom] Carty explains. “Sure enough, when the parents brought the boy to the radio cassette shop back then, guess who was there? His wife,” Carty explains. “And he starts speaking to his wife and saying, ‘I know your name, and I know our two kids’ names,’ and going into mad detail.” Not only that, but Titu claimed he had been murdered — and he knew who did it. Eventually, the boy identified the killer, who was later prosecuted for the crime. In a 1989 study, researcher Antonia Mills documented as many of the known details about the case as possible. According to Mills, a family reported that their son, Toran “Titu” Singh, began making strange claims as soon as he could talk, around 18 months old. The family claimed that Titu said he was from the city of Agra, had a wife and children, and owned a shop in Sadar Bazaar. Most astonishingly, Titu reportedly knew that he had been killed via gunshot — though, contrary to many online versions of the events, he said that he was unable to identify the attackers. While later reports say his words were used to identify the culprit, there’s no solid evidence that this is the case. Still, some people are convinced that Titu was telling the truth. There are countless other details that believers point to indicating that Titu Singh was genuinely the reborn Suresh. For example, a 1988 article in India Today reported that there was a birthmark on Titu’s head in the exact location where Suresh was shot.
