International Cryptozoology Society Established
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 26th, 2016
The International Cryptozoology Museum has established a membership organization, with a journal and other benefits, under their umbrella, named the International Cryptozoology Society. It is an exciting re-establishing of the scientific objectives of the old International Society of Cryptozoology, tied to physical location and not linked to personalities. Read more here. And join today, to become a “Founding Member.”
The logo harkens back to the okapi of the old ISC, but the new ISC’s logo has an inspiration grounded in an actual individual okapi, the first one ever photographed, from 1907.

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.
