Mark A. Hall, Cryptozoologist and Fortean, Dies

Mark’s brother had passed away a few years ago, and then his brother’s widow, Shelia had become a lifeline for Mark in recent years. Shelia Hall was able to be with Mark last night, when he talked for over an hour to her, saying again that he was happy his research was in good hands with the International Cryptozoology Museum. She was able to be with him today, and shared that Mark passed away very peacefully.

Mark had been challenged by various forms of cancer for years, winning sometimes, and more recently, losing the battle despite conversations and communications that he was only suffering temporary set-backs. He clearly wanted to write more, think more, and discover more answers to the mysteries that interested him. I am overwhelmed with grief at the loss of such an important contemporary of mine.
