Writing here two stories that I have read long ago but still remember,

1. A story about a boy who had pro-level knowledge about airplanes(or fighter jets). He said he was a pilot in his previous life. He was born somewhere in the USA.

2. A very little boy(may be just 5 or 6 years old) who had the ability to draw stunning paintings. He was born in Kerala, India.

So what we should understand is knowledge is passed from one life to another in the form of Vasanas.

"Vasana" is a Sanskrit term in Indian philosophy referring to a subconscious karmic imprint, subtle desire, or habitual tendency that influences one's character and behavior. These "impressions" can be positive or negative and are stored in the mind as latent desires or patterns of thought (said by Google's AI).

And the term Vasana is not from any Indian "philosophies". Its a technical term used in Indian sciences which you can commonly find in Vedanta, Patanjalayoga, Upanishads and so on.
