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.
Cool Story
Good OLE Giant Snake Story
for a boa constrictor, those lengths are nothing astounishing. for racers thats quite uncommen. i wouldnt belive it without evidence.
and once again, the topic promises more than the text does deliver. its just a colletion of fragment storys. it would be different if e.g. the skeletion of the big snake would still be present somewhere so at least the length could be confirmed.
Amusing….any chance of tracking down some of the newspaper photos, I wonder?
I forgot to mention the author of this book is Mr. Russell Frey, And the name is Rogues Hollow History and legends, the story is from May,1944 I remember seeing photos of the snake on display at the service station many times over the years when I was growing up. I’m asking around seeing if I can locate one. at any rate I hope you all enjoyed the story

Hmmm, I remember reading something similar to this years back. Is this, perchance, from the Highland or Adams County area? Where exactly is this “Rogue’s Hollow”?
