About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
its times like now that i want a job the most…
Congrats on the museum. You should try to secure from Josh Gates a few of those “yeti” hairs that came back as definitely primate but unclassified that he aired on Wednesday’s show. There was a large amount of them so I’m sure a few given to the museum would be awesome.
I’m not sure if “It Does Exist” is the right slogan, since cryptozoology is not about established certainties. How about “‘Maybe’ Is Worth A Look” or “‘Probably Not’ Is Not ‘No'”?
Fhqwhgads, well, the slogan is about the museum, and my friend, it does exist! 🙂
Yes, indeed, all the permits for the Green Hand Bookshop space came in this afternoon, so after the Grand Opening tonight, regular hours will be in play.
Tuesdays – Saturdays, 11 am to 6 pm. Sundays, Noon to 5 pm. Admission is $5.00 for everyone, no matter the age, and is cash or check only. There is an ATM next door in the convenience store if you need one for cash.
Onward…come visit.
