Who Were You in a Previous Life?

[Misty]

Want to know who you were in your previous life? Google "died on.." plus the date and year of your birth. For example, I was born on June 4th, 1972, so I googled "died on June 4th, 1972."

It turns out in my last life I was Robert Harrill, aka the Fort Fisher Hermit:

okay, so technically he died on June 3rd, but I was born shortly after midnight on June 4th (I think if the death occurs less than 24 hours before birth it still counts). Looks I had a pretty interesting yet tragic life.

If you believe in multiple past lives, google "died on..." again using your previous life's birth date. In my case, before I was the Fort Fisher Hermit, I was Thomas W. Bennett:

I wonder who I'm going to be next?

Well, I didn't do the thing here, but I have been told by friends, on more than one occasion, that I was Ghengis Khan.

I had a psychic inform me that I was one of Jack the Ripper's victims.

Whoa! I want to hear more about this psychic reading! Which victim were you? (I've read a great deal about the Whitechapel murders.)

[Parrothead]

..... A volcano erupted the day I was born and killed thousands....


Or I was Thad Jones

[fireheart]

I was either Pat O'Connor or Ricardo Saprissa.

Also a little fun fact for The Hunger Games fans: I am one day younger than Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss in the film)

Hmm, didn't find anyone who died when I was born, but my Mom has told me I used to tell her these fantastic stories that were historically accurate when I was little and that I said it happened in my other lives. I think I may have a life from around the Revolutionary War time.

according to the OP's rules - I was this guy

all these people died the same day - just different years

Either Mary Ann Nichols or Mary Jane Kelly. She couldn't narrow it down any farther than that.

Well, this explains my love of theater:

I already know who died the day I was born. John Lennon. I don't think I was him, though. I just am not that awesome.

[Eireann]

Edgar Allan Poe. I wasn't born on the anniversary of his death, but this is my choice.

[wolfie]

Apparently I played baseball in a previous life.

WARNING! If you need to keep your identity here private from cow-irkers (TM Dilbert) or bosses, PLEASE don't play this game - after all, you're (indirectly) posting your birth date.

I'm unemployed scum, so let me hit google real quick.

Hm. Oct 27, 1961.
26th - Edgar Mayne, cricketer (4 Tests for Australia around WWI), dies
26th - Milan Stojadinović, Premier of Yugoslavia (1935-39), dies at 73

Well, I am a total klutz, so it obviously isn't Edgar, so I used to be a Yugoslavian politician and economist. Well, I *can* balance a set of books and I did take a minor in political science.

If I was a year younger I would have better options:
1962 - Enrico Mattei, Italian oil magnate, dies at 58
1962 - Fatso Marco, comedian (Milton Berle Show), dies at 56
1962 - Rudolph Anderson, U-2 pilot, shot down over Cuba
