APL Presents “Mystery Creatures of the World” with Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman
Auburn Public Library – April 28, 2011 Thursday, 6:00 PM
The entire planet seems to have been thoroughly explored, yet unknown creatures continue to be “discovered” by modern science. Could Bigfoot or the Yeti be next? Tonight Loren Coleman, one of the world’s most renowned cryptozoologists, joins us to discuss what creatures he thinks modern science could yet uncover. Coleman has spent much of his life trekking the globe in search of mysterious creatures. He is the author of several books, a frequent contributor to various documentaries about cryptozoology, and the founder of the International Cryptozoology Museum in South Portland, Maine. Copies of his books will be available for purchase and signing. Teens and adults are welcome to attend this FREE program.
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.
