Ft. Knox, Maine, not Kentucky!
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 16th, 2010
Plan ahead, this summer, not during the 4th of July weekend as in the past, but a bit later, to come join me in beautiful Downeast Maine. Below is the announcement from the organizers, the Friends of Ft. Knox, who are the docent supporters of the State of Maine Historic Site of Fort Knox. The event is a fundraiser for the preservation of the fort.

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.
As you can see by the bottom picture in the article, Bucksport/Verona Island Maine can claim two of the most interesting engineering points of interest in all of Maine. (literally within 300 yards of each other} Fort Knox from the early 19th Century and the Verona Island Bridge from the late 20th.
Visiting either is worth the trip by itself. When you add to that multiple Best of Portland award winner Loren Coleman to the mix, I cannot imagine being anywhere else on August 1.
Remember that naked people have been following Loren around the streets of Portland lately and you have the ingredients for a real Downeast paranormal party!
