I don't know where the "prior life" part came from, but this claim is
usually an incorrect extrapolation of studies that indicate no such
thing.

What has been established is that people can be induced to remember
things that they considered forgotten.  This isn't by a long shot
the same thing as saying that we remember everything that's ever
happened to us.

If you have evidence to support this claim, by all means present it.  If
not, please spare us.
