I'm just trying to figure out why people think past life regression is reasonable, whereas my list of other things people believe (e.g., ghosts, aliens) is not.

So we should invent criteria for deciding what is possible and not prior to investigating claims? Evidence isn't what we should base our judgments on then?
I agree wholeheartedly. So why are people laughing at my list of other things?
