In "The Little People!" from Strange Tales #103, an American expatriate wandering through Europe encounters a race of tiny people who seem to know him—though he’s never seen them before. After being captured and narrowly escaping, he dismisses the whole experience as a dream, yet can’t shake the lingering question of whether their recognition hints at something deeper, like a past life.
