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.
Kind of a weird statement, considering that only once did the X-Files show a Bigfoot-like creature —the Jersey devil, which in the episode was some kind of Neanderthal.
And then there was the Big Blue episode when poor Scully looses her dog —one of the best, BTW— and the Chupacabras episode in the later seasons, but that’s it!
Still, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity —and NO, it wasn’t Tom Biscardi who said that 😉
One comment, about the last photo on the page. The one of Loren wearing the hat and standing in front of the ‘squatch statue’.
When I first saw that photo just now, Loren, the first thing I thought of was you {with the hat} would make a good DOCTOR WHO.
‘Nuff said.

Conspiracy theorists who wish X-Files was still on the air? Really? They can’t be serious. Obviously whoever wrote this has no real sense of anything that crytpozoology is about.
Also, “the sort of creatures you believed in as a child.”
So not only are we all conspiracy theorists, but we are also like children as well. Well I don’t know about everyone else here, but I still consider Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy to be viable cryptids. Cough, cough.
Does this mean Loren Coleman is one of the 7 of the World’s Weirdest Museum curators? Keep up the great work!
