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.
Forgive me if I seem stupid, but what exactly is the poster saying? Is this supposedly evidence of a hoax or of the creature existing? I can’t get heads or tails out of what it is supposed to mean…
I was under the impression that the P-G original master copy had been lost. Please explain.
It would be easier to see the tracks with some sort of color enhancement or something…
The quality of this footage is pretty bad, so I can’t tell if those “bootprints” really are what Mr. Davis claims; They look like black smudges to me (at least, I think that’s what the bootprints are supposed to be). Also, Mr. Patterson seems to be pretty manuverable, so (in my mind) this casts doubt Patterson’s “my horse fell on me” version of the encounter.
Also, I doubt that’s a Bigfoot track we see near the supposed bootprints. Why? Because it casts a shadow, which makes it more likely to be a piece of debris.
Also, Patty looks pretty small when seen in this context. Here’s a picture that demonstrates image cropping.
I should note that I did not make any of these images. They were taken from pages 183-184 of this forum (the link will take you to page 183).
My impulsive thoughts upon seeing this unexpected video: A large limb passes in front of the camerea and then off to the side? When did this happen? Also, how sure are we that the artefact on the ground is a bigfoot track? It looks deformed so it could be some naturally caused irregularity in the ground. Is there something else in the original Patterson-Grimlin film that isn’t shown?
ok, i see bootprints, but that “bigfoot” print could be anything, it’s like seeing things in clouds in the sky. “oh look, in this frame here, that shadow looks like a dog”… give me a break.
I wish the credits had been in the beginning, it would have saved me about one minute, thirty seconds of my time.
