James G. Matlock received a B.A. in English from Emory University in 1977 and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale in 2002.
He has worked at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York City and at the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina.
He is presently a research fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation.
Matlock's chief research interests are the history of parapsychology, anthropology of religion, and reincarnation. He teaches a 15-week online seminar course on reincarnation research and theory.

Matlock reports on another case he learned about through Facebook, the case of Rylann O’Bannion, in Signs of Reincarnation: Exploring Beliefs, Cases,
