This mom's 'past life' TikTok is something out of a horror film

Frederica Severinsen is going viral on TikTok after sharing the chilling “memory” her daughter claimed to have from a “past life”. Her clip, which has nearly 700,000 views, began when Severinsen told her daughter that her friend was having a baby named Esther. Severinsen’s daughter, who was 4 years old at the time, responded by saying she already had a friend named Esther — . although their family didn’t know anyone with that name. “Oh, I know an Esther Mervin, but she lives really far away and she’s in prison,” Severinsen’s daughter allegedly said. Severinsen checked Ancestry.com and found an Esther Mervin — but she’d been dead for years. According to the video, that Esther did live “far away” (in America, Severinsen lives in the U.K.) and she’d been in prison in the early 1900s. Severinsen asked her daughter how she knew Esther, to which the 4-year-old apparently said, “Oh, it was a long time ago [and] she’s dead now”. “And that was it,” Severinsen concluded. “And I’m terrified of her”. Needless to say, TikTok users were pretty freaked out too
