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.
Happy Halloween, best wishes for a safe trip, and here’s hoping security will be a breeze!
Momo is new to me, Id rather have the Mojo.
Ok, so Momo is the mid western Big Foot.
Could it be a huge Black bear standing on it’s hind legs?

When I was in Texarkana during the filming with Charlie Pierce on camera, of the “Legend of Boggy Creek,” it was thought that the Momo and the Fouke Monster were the same critter in transit from Louisiana, Arkansas and up thru Missouri.
Little did we know at that time that there was more than one “monster” lurking about. Imagine our surprise!
