Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 1st, 2006
Who created one of the first April Fool’s “pranks” in the field of Bigfoot/Sasquatch events, in 1955?
Watch for the answer here tomorrow, if no one gets it tonight or overnight (in the comments below).
UPDATE
The answer to this quiz is in the middle of the posting that is found here; look for mention of a Sasquatch fake story for April 1, 1955.
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.
Wild ass guess…Ray Wallace and friends….I believe they began faking footprints in the mid to late 50’s…I was about 7 or 8 when they made the headlines…I can vividly remember a rendering of a hapless yak being hurled off a cliff by a Yeti…the Abominable Snowman had arrived in Tulsa…
