Vote for One Wonder: Bigfoot/Yeti

The second round of voting at the Charles Fort Institute for the Seven Fortean Wonders of the World ends on Friday, December 21, 2007.

There are a final 38 candidates, and after a quick registration (your name and country), you may vote once in this round.

I made a mistake by skipping the first round, waiting for the field to be narrowed. The location of Loch Ness did not make it through that round. I thought “Loch Ness” would be a natural, but I was busy with other matters. My fault. I was the fool on the hill to not vote in that round, especially since my suggestion inspired the idea of the list.

Since this creating of the Seven Fortean Wonders of the World turned out to not just be about locations, but also about things, I am now going to vote for “Bigfoot/Yeti” so that at least one cryptozoological wonder makes it to the final list.

It’s an old trick in poll voting that if you make your one true selection, and then go ahead, half-heartedly voting for the others merely to get all “seven” (in this case) of your votes, you actually are voting against your primary choice.

Loren Coleman 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.
