Same boat here as well. I'm quite sceptical of people who claim to have vivid memories almost like videos in their mind. I often think they're just better than us at replaying the narrative they've constructed and filling in the gaps with imagination.

I read somewhere that eyewitness accounts, when tested, are often wildly inaccurate, and very prone to manipulation by asking leading questions e.g. "when did you see the suspect driving the red car?"
