Loren Coleman

Loren Coleman is one of the most respected and prolific figures in the history of cryptozoology. He began his fieldwork and investigations in 1960 and has been writing about his experiences since 1969, building a body of work that spans more than 40 books on cryptozoology and related subjects. Coleman has appeared frequently on radio and television programs and served as consultant to productions including NBC’s Unsolved Mysteries, A&E’s Ancient Mysteries, and the History Channel’s History’s Mysteries. He is perhaps best known to the public as the founder and director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine — the only museum of its kind in the world. His landmark books include Mysterious America, Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America, and Cryptozoology A to Z. Coleman remains one of the field’s most authoritative and enduring voices.
