No. And thankfully so. You can try document.referrer but it won't
always tell you what page they came from.
Why do you want to know where I came from?

////// COPY & PASTE :
The history object is another child (property) of the window object. This
object holds information about the URLs that have been visited before and
after the current one, and it includes methods to go to previous or next
locations.
The history object has one property you can access:
* history.length keeps track of the length of the history list—in other
words, the number of different locations that the user has visited.
Note
The history object has current, previous, and next properties that
store URLs of documents in the history list. However, for security reasons,
these objects are not normally accessible in today's browsers.
The history object has three methods you can use to move through the history
list:
* history.go() opens a URL from the history list. To use this method,
specify a positive or negative number in parentheses. For example,
history.go(-2) is equivalent to pressing the Back button twice.
* history.back()loads the previous URL in the history list—equivalent to
pressing the Back button.
* history.forward()loads the next URL in the history list, if available.
This is equivalent to pressing the Forward button.
