I remember a story on the old Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack called "Reincarnated Submariner." The story was about a guy who grew up in Southern CA and was always afraid of the water and knew he had been alive before. He ended up going to a psychiatrist to see what was wrong with him and under hypnosis he told the doctor that he was a sailor named James Johnson and he was drowning on a submarine named the USS Shark and told where they were and the date they sank. He also told where he was from, where he grew up at in Ohio, I believe and gave his address of the house he grew up in. When he and his doctor went to the town in Ohio he told the guy how to get to the house and described the inside of the house to him and when he was introduced to family members who remembered James Johnson he went up to each of them and correctly called them by name and they were convinced that he had been or was in fact James Johnson. If you didn't believe in reincarnation before it, you did after watching it.
