Spring Skiing for Bigfoot in Maine: Cryptozoo News Updates

Today is April 5th. It seems like it should be spring outside, right? Believe it or not, some people think that because I live in Maine, I’m a resident of Canada. I get strange emails.

Truth is, on this Thursday I feel like I’m in the Himalayas. This morning there is about a foot of snow that fell overnight in Portland, Maine. Today is the opening day for the cryptid-named Portland Sea Dogs baseball team, but, of course, that event has to be postponed. So, back to thoughts of cryptozoology….

Humans may be dealing with incredibly unbelievable Easter/Passover skiing in the next few days in the state, but what will the Windigo, our local Bigfoot of Maine, be doing in the over two feet of snow in the mountains after such a bizarre winter? The dog running through my frontyard had trouble. How do Bigfoot move around after a surprise snowstorm? Very carefully, obviously.

Meanwhile, flash images of lake monsters are on my mind too. I will be off to Lake Champlain very soon on a mini-expedition in pursuit of Champ. More on that here on this blog soon.

Speaking of books, it has been a busy month of filling a flurry of orders in March. Sorry for any delays due to my distractions from the History Channel shoot and mini-trips I’ve enjoyed making in the last four weeks. (I really need a volunteer to help me.)

If you wish to double-check on your order, please write me directly at lcoleman{@}maine.rr.com (as opposed to leaving a comment below, which will be deleted). I’m sure your autographed book will arrive in the next week or so. If you want to order another or new book, you can also write me there too, to see if I have one available.

For those folks asking me if I will be speaking “nearby” in 2007, well, yes, maybe. I know I’ll be giving presentations, for example, on the “Dover Demon” at the “Mass Monster Mash” in Massachusetts in October, on a surprise subject at Craig’s Texas conference later in the fall, and on cryptozoology in general during a lecture in New York City in December. I’ll share the details here as the dates approach.

Tree branches are dropping like flies and power outrages are spreading in Maine. Looks like I should just get out my Accoutrements Bigfoot action figure and make tiny little footprints in the snow. Then watch them melt into giant tracks if the sun ever comes out. Sort of like Sir Edmund Hillary did in the Himalayas, without any consideration that the tracks would merge into each other and no one in their right mind would think that were from a Yeti.

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.
