KM Wehrstein

Karen M Wehrstein, BAA (Journalism) is a journalist, novelist, reincarnation researcher and one of the Psi Encyclopedia’s most prolific writers, also working as an editor.  Her interest in reincarnation dates back to personal experiences both in adulthood and childhood, and she has been a member of the more scientific-minded sector of the online reincarnation community since 2000.  Wehrstein began learning about the work of Dr Ian Stevenson and other academic reincarnation researchers in 2015 through taking a course by Dr James G Matlock, which she now assists in teaching.  She began formally investigating cases in 2016, specializing in adult subjects, and has published two papers, a review and a commentary in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research and Zeitschrift für Anomalistik.  Parapsychologist Charles Tart said of Wehrstein: “I think of her as a ‘field explorer,’ as it were, lots of inside perspective on the subject, but also as a leading thinker who really knows this area.”
