This 74-year-old woman believes 5-month-old calf is her dead husband

The calf with Khim

Khim Hang, a 74-year-old woman from Cambodia's Kratie province, shares her home with a 5-month-old calf, which she believes is a reincarnation of her dead husband.

Khim was devastated by the sudden death of her husband, Tol Khut, a year ago. The young cow allegedly has some of the man's habits, and only licks hands of his relatives.

"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," she told Reuters.

The young cow was born in March and has attracted a strong following on social media.
