Yes, this and other such details are compelling. I can't help but be skeptical, though. It
says nobody told him, but they might be surprised what kids pick up just by overhearing, even when they don't seem to be paying attention. And maybe the parents didn't tell him, but someone else may have. It may have even happened after the fact -- he overheard something about it, after the visit, and it found its way into the story, even innocently. The mind plays funny tricks, when recalling dreams and such. He could be thoroughly convinced that it was part of the experience all along.
