There's a really good series on Canadian TV called "Past Life Investigation". This reporter's gets these people to do past life regressions, then she investigates all the details that come up during the regressions.

One regression totally blew me away. A totally skeptical young woman who was regressed came up with this lifetime of living in Nepal and being a woman who made a living selling spice at a market near the Nepal/India border, and who later became a Buddhist nun. She also provided names for herself in that past life, and the name of the town, and all these other foreign words she'd never heard before.

Anyway, the reporter goes to Nepal and actually finds this town, and all the details the woman gave during the regression all checked out.

The reporter then decides to bring the woman over to Nepal. So while on the plane, the young woman thinks she should do some sketches of the things she saw during her regression. Then later on we learn that her sketches are EXACTLY like reality, even little details are the way they should be.

Everything about Nepal is totally familiar to her, and the woman is taken to a Buddhist nunnery where she spends the day with the nuns. They close off the day with a meeting with a Buddhist monk who talks about his own past life experiences. Anyway, the woman who was completely skeptical about reincarnation winds up a believer.

That is Awesome! I'd love to be on that show and let them take me places I've been to in a previous life! Of course, there could be many places. I wonder how you choose which stories to recall? I mean, there could be literally hundreds of lives!

I knew someone who as a child told her parent she was a boy living in france in a previoud life. She could tell them history of the schooling and places etc. But of course they ignored it.

I'm pretty sure I was south african previously. I have a "weird" accent that many strangers have commented sounds south african.

Oh, and Welcome! What an entrance. I wonder, are there many public skeptics that cricise that show? Wouldn't it be great if a different one went along each week - like news anchor people etc. That'd be super cool!
