Reincarnation fact or fiction?

Is there someone famous or not you feel a special connectedness to? Especially if you have felt the connection most of your life?

Ever since grammar school and before I knew who the artist was, I've been sketching these same similar portraits. They alway's have these very stylized elongated necks and often oddly shaped noses. Eventually, in an art class I saw the work of Modigliani and somehow "knew". Even today I still draw these faces.
