Only if you are incredibly gullible. There are many claims but nothing testable or verifiable.
I used to believe in past lives.
Then it occurred to me. How is a past life any different to sharing the same memory? I could watch a film on TV with someone else and we'd both remember the same sequence. That doesn't mean that we're the same person.
The very idea of a past life requires a belief in a soul, consciousness that continues on after brain death. But souls do not exist. Consciousness stops when the brain dies, and even when put under for an operation. Or when someone knocks you out. If souls existed we wouldn't be able to get drunk, or high, or have neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimers.
The very concept of a past life fades to nothing if you ask too many questions.
