Mothman Tour Cancelled; Take Photo Quiz
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 9th, 2007
The company, Haunted Heartland Tours, has cancelled their Mothman Prophecy Tour, scheduled for June 9-10, 2007. No reason is given for the cancellation. Perhaps there were not enough registrations? Or, hopefully, there’s not a sinister event behind the cancellation. Of course, since it was a “prophecy” event, they must have known this was going to happen.
A new date will be set for 2008 late this year.
Here is what was promised for the tour:

Meanwhile, since the tour is postponed, how about a quick photo quiz? Here’s a photograph of a triad of writers, two of whom, at least, have written on the subject of Mothman.
Can you identify all three?
The photograph was taken in January 1994.
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.
Don’t know who the first guy is…john keel and Loren…my mothman-ology is not what it could be. 🙂
However, that does sound like a fun tour…I’m not toooo far from Ohio…
Its a trick question. There are only two writers in the photo.
Tom Barry
The Tom Barry response is incorrect. All three are writers.
Sorry to announce that Mr. Keel has canceled his appearance at the Penn State Paranormal conference this weekend due to health issues.
What a disappointment not to get the opportunity to meet and hear him speak. He’s been involved in research since the research began.
I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery. Just have to curl up by the fire this weekend and reread the Mothman Prophesies.
