Some people have carried knowledge from a previous life. There have been rare cases of being able to speak a different language. Some have had detailed memories of a past life that are later verified. Contrary to many skeptic's claim, people who remember past lives do NOT claim to have been someone famous. Every one of them has memories of being an ordinary person.

It is possible that some fragments of previous Lives survives death and Rebirth...some talent or memory or skill...to Buddhists, the Unconscious Life Stream (Bhavanga Sota) an energy stream which links all of our previous Lives and what makes us alive,is affected by and retains some fragments of these experiences. We affect it with our actions and intentions and yet it does not have any characteristics which we as humans have per se....
An interesting and thought provoking question....
A Theravada Buddhist perspective....

What a topic!!Most definitely!!!!!!!! Most of your talents and fears( ex. fear of heights) comes from past lives. It`s very interesting to know who and what you`ve been.Most of us have been both sexes.Many many times.You can bring many traumas with you into your new life from your old one ex. A friend of mine for some reason hates women with red hair( He`s male in this life) and then he discovered he was a hooker with red hair (female) in a previous life, which explains his hatred.Who you were in your past life has everything to do with who you are now.That`s were the saying, do on to others what you want done onto yourself, comes in. If the big wheel doesn`t turn in this life, it will most certainly in the next.It`s important to know that in each life there is a lesson for you to learn thus life is a school for your soul.Nice to know that you are immortal isn`t it. Do yourself a favor and read a book from Dr. Brian L. Weiss, Many lives Many Masters.Good luck with your journey to the truth!!

There are no prior lifes:
(Heb 9:27 KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Anyone claiming to have prior lifes is just possessed with demons.

Well, there's a simple way to check who you were in a past life: Do you like cake? If you do, you were Marie Antoinette.

Only if you're defining reincarnation in the context of having been born again.
(As a skeptic, I don't believe in either).
