Bigfoot, Chessie, Iraq, and Larry Craig?
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 7th, 2007
It’s not often that Bigfoot, Chessie, and I get thrown in with President Bush, Iraq, and Larry Craig, thank goodness, but it happened this week to me in Virginia.
‘The New Dominion Show’ is on the air
The fall 2007 (and 2008 and 2009 elections), President Bush’s secret jaunt to Iraq and Chessie and Bigfoot.
That and more this week on “The New Dominion Show.”
(Teaser: Chris gives his prognostication on what Mark Warner will do next week in the final segment.)
Joining us this week:
– Brian Moran, the Democratic Caucus chair in the House of Delegates and a presumed statewide candidate in the 2009 state-election cycle.
– New Dominion columnist W.R. Marshall, who has a lot to say on the president’s trip to Iraq and the Larry Craig quasi-resignation.
– Loren Coleman, a cryptozoologist and coauthor of Weird Virginia, who gives insight into Bigfoot and Chessie sightings in Virginia.

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.
hey loren very interesting article about bigfoot,chessie, & larry craig indeed. thanks bill green
Chessie was solved, or was it? Purported to be the Wandering Manatee.
“Chessie was solved, or was it? Purported to be the Wandering Manatee.”
No, no, this is caused by the confusion occurring due to the use of the name for two different things.
The Sea Serpent “Chessie” has been sighted, on and off, since the 1960s, with an increased wave of encounters in the 1970s.
Someone in the media decided more recently to call an out-of-place (wandering) manatee by the name “Chessie.”
One has nothing to do with the other, and they are described very differently too, if anyone has any doubts.
