Further on Fayette Factor
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 11th, 2012
Eric Altman is in the midst of a new 2012 cryptid investigation in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, again. More on that soon. But in the meantime…there’s the matter of that name, in general. Search the archives at Cryptomundo to discover “Fayette” variations turn up a lot in sightings.

Over the weekend, I revisited the “Fayette Factor,” with a flashback revision and image updates, at my Twilight Language blog, for those interested in that “name game.”
“In the southwest angle of Arkansas is a Bigfoot hotspot that has been immortalized–in America, at least– by the (1974) movie The Legend of Boggy Creek. The critters have been known hereabouts since 1856, centering their activities lately upon the town of Fouke in Miller County and ranging eastward into Lafayette County.” ~ Jim Brandon (author of Weird America and The Rebirth of Pan)
Fayette, Maine, is a hotspot of weird reports for the Pine Tree State. What have you noticed about your “Fayette” locations?
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.
I can’t believe you posed this question, Loren, for my personal squatch sighting came right next to Lafayette Campground.
LaFayette, TX, is in Upshur County, where quite a few Bigfoot sightings have been reported. Its population is down to about 45 people or so, I think.
