True Giant Spotted
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 4th, 2012
Needless to say, due to my interest in True Giants, I am always interested in news crossing the wires of sightings of giant hominoids.
Apparently, a photograph of one that is a bit more mundane but still mysterious was taken at the funeral procession of Kim Jong II.
In a sea of indistinguishable onlookers clad in black with their backs turned to the camera, one man stood out at Kim Jong Il’s funeral.
The Associated Press released a photo of the procession in North Korea, and a hawk-eyed Reddit contributor was quick to point out an anomaly in the otherwise uniform crowd of mourners. In the photo above, one man appears to be nearly twice as tall as the gentlemen on his left and right.
Who is this giant? Could it be Ri “Michael” Myung Hun — North Korea’s national basketball star — as some commenters have suggested? Source.
Okay, I’ll keep searching for the real cryptid thing…

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.
Awesome!
It could be the basketball guy.
How brave of you Loren to allow Arthur Rackham to draw you without your white David Hemmings slacks on!
