Would anyone like to comment (give me some insight) on whether the
following two ideas are, or can be made, compatible with Christianity?

(1) Reincarnation -- the return of a personality, perhaps accompanied
with small amounts of memory, into a new human being (body), some time
after the body previously occupied has died.

(2) Communication between a living person and the "spirit" of a dead
person; particularly, regular communication, giving a sense that the
spirit spends time in a particular house or accompanies a particular
person through life.
