In Cambodia, a local woman has been making rounds on social media after claiming that a five-year-old calf is the reincarnation of her late husband.
Cambodia’s population is 98 per cent Buddhist, indicating that many of its citizens believe in the theory of reincarnation.
“I believe that the calf is my husband because whatever he does…is in exactly the same way as my husband did when he was alive,” 74-year-old Khim Hang recounts.
The video posted on the internet featuring the calf shows how it climbs up the stairs into Hang’s home. There, it is fed, washed, and led to rest on Hang’s late husband’s pillow.
Over a hundred people visit her home every day ever since the video’s posting online. Many of those tourists believe that this calf truly has a man living inside.

You seldom find it anymore, and this means it is an endangered species.
