Legacy of a Legend: John Green

In the beginning, Bigfoot researchers and the occasional tourist use to go to Willow Creek and have their pictures taken with Jim McClarin’s Oh-Mah (Bigfoot) redwood sculpture. For example, the images above are from 1975-1977, and demonstrate this tradition. In the mid-1980s, other spots tried to jump on the bandwagon with their own statues.

In more recent years, people have journeyed to another kind of Sasquatch Mecca ~ John Green ~ and requested their photo be taken with him.

Today, I share a tribute to John Green’s legacy and legendary status in Sasquatch studies, in images covering the last fifty years, up through a few weeks ago in 2009.

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.
