Looking Backwards

So a while back I saw a strange scene while meditating, which made me theorize about possible past life connections. I got it in my head that I may have been an activist who went too far and may have caused an accident (or not an accident at all), which resulted in my death and another person's death and/or severe mental trauma. We were both female.
I was rewatching a TV show last night, and the episode I was watching would have taken place a while before my vision. Not sure how long. The thing is... the scenario was eerily similar. Three activists, two female, intentionally set a bomb but had a change of heart. One was thought to have died, the other went missing, but the one who faked her death wanted revenge. It even happened in the same decade I supposed, although for me it was Illinois in 1984, in the episode it happened in New York in 1982.
Given the similarities, now I wonder if this episode actually spilled into my own meditation, without me even realizing it. Did I unintentionally make up a completely bogus past life story based on a TV episode? Or is it possible something about that episode triggered the notion? I mean, the scenarios are a little different - bystanders were hurt in the episode, whereas in my memories it was just the activists. On the other hand, it would explain why I've always been iffy about this.
Has anyone else ever realized their PL memory might be a false lead, and actually based on something they've seen or read?
(NOTE: I am NOT at all suggesting all PL memories are like this. Just that sometimes our memories may sometimes get a little confused. Kind of like not knowing whether a childhood memory is real or just a dream you had.)
