Quotes of the day:
Typically I am known as a Bigfoot whisperer, but it is not confirmed [smiling/laughing].
It is a big task, but it is definitely is helping him out.
Feejee Mermaid. Bigfoot prints. So much stuff, I mean, hair samples from Sasquatch.
I would be hard pressed to say that all of the stuff that he has for the museum will fit in there.
Jeff Meuse,
crew chief of the movers and
number one museum docent

We moved about 40,000 books I think that first move, so that one was definitely a lot tougher. That took a long time. This one actually was awkward, but easier to move.
He definitely is an interesting character, both Bigfoot and Mr. Coleman.
It is definitely something to consider and think about because there is a lot of space on this Earth that has been uncharted and we just don’t know.

one of the hired hands
helping with the move

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.
