Cryptid Keeper

Happy Halloween!

Emily Burnham of the Bangor Daily News visited earlier in the week, and she has a nice holiday article, entitled “Cryptid Keeper” in the paper today.

She took some photos, even though the displays weren’t finished being set up.


Here, volunteer coordinator Jeff Meuse aligns an exhibit (since moved).


This is part of the “What Is NOT Cryptozoology!” subsection. My giant cup of tea is not part of the “NOT” display, and only temporarily there. šŸ™‚


Various items are still being put into order, but you might recognize some replicas.

Here’s the very smart, pleasant, and charming Emily Burnham’s Twitter traffic tweets (rockblogsterbdn) about her journalistic visit to the museum.

I guess, thanks to Twitter, the interviewee can report on the reporter, now, humm? What a strange new world we live in.

Portlandbound. Meeting w Lauren Coleman, cryptozoologist to the stars who’s opening a museum on Congress St. You’ve seen him on BoingBoing?

Get to meet Bigfoot and El Chupacabra today! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Also get to meet (hopefully) the woman behind Strange Maine.

PS: Chupacabra is definitely not real, but Bigfoot & the Yeti very well may be. The giant squid & the coelacanth were unseen for centuries!

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the worldā€™s leading cryptozoologists, some say ā€œtheā€ 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. Sandersonā€™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 Colemanā€™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.
