A few times, I've babysat for a friend's kids (4 and 6), right around the age when children's past life memories tend to come up. Of course I've never pushed it, nor brought it up to their mom, but it's been interesting to overhear what could be past life memories that most people wouldn't give a second thought.
The 4-year-old girl is very talkative, friendly, and has a very inventive imagination! Her brother was pretending to be a dragon, and the girl said of the (imaginary) bad person who tried to shoot him: "IT'S MY BOSS! HIDE!" (I was pretty amused by this, because who isn't terrified by their boss? You'd think it she'd instead say it was a dragon hunter or something).
One time, she pretended to be a dog that kept eating poisoned food, dying, then coming back to life. She then changed to a more serious tone and said, "I worked in an office, and then friendly aliens came and gave me a new life." I said, "That was nice of them."
The 6-year-old boy has had a lot of behavioral problems, and has said things to his mom like, "You're not my real mother" (something that a lot of kids say to their parents when they're angry, but it does make you wonder). His mother, a friend, and I remarked that sometimes he talked like a 1930s gangster! (jokingly; never brought up the potential past life thing, obviously).
