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.
Interesting story. The anecdotes regarding 19 people seeing a yowie at once are interesting.
From a yowie-illiterate 😀
Chris.
I dunno. It sounds as though there has been quite a bit of previous Yowie activity in this area. The fact a book is being released at a similar time doesn’t make me particularly suspicious. It’s not as if the book is being released in the Springbrooke area is it? It’s a bit of a long shot saying that the publishers would travel all the way out there (almost 100 miles from Brisbane) just to stir up interest. I’m not saying it’s unheard of (hello Mr Biscardi) but I’m not buying it!
youcantryreachingme- If you are a Yowie illiterate, you should pick this book up. It really is well done and has some compelling stuff in there even if, like me, you remain skeptical. I would recommend it for sure.
mystery-man – I agree, I am about 1/2 way through the book and it is excellent. I knew next to nothing about the Yowie phenomenon before and it is a terrific primer.
Explain this to me.
A group of nineteen people saw a yowie according to this book. If nineteen people ALL say they saw the same thing, what are the possible reasons?
1) They are ALL delusional or psychotic
2) They ALL misidentified something commonplace
3) They are ALL lying, even after all these years
4) They ALL actually saw what they say they saw.
Now tell me. Which is the most likely?
Answers to me on a £10 note, please. Oh alright, just tell me the answer and send the tenner to Loren.
