After I posted this morning’s blog “Flashback: Thirty Year Ago – South Dakota Bigfoot,”” about a Bigfoot flap taking place in 1977, Scott Maruna at The Anomalist commented: “Come to think of it, there were a lot of flaps going on that year.” Indeed, there were. The anniversary of the Dover Demon sightings (April 21-22, 1977) is rapidly approaching. On April 21, 2007, I’ll be a guest on the “Dover Demon” 30th Anniversary Special (“Dover Demon” is a chapter in Mysterious America), from 10 pm to Midnight, on the Eastern Spooky Southeast broadcast, on WBSM-AM, 1420 AM, New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Unknown Chilean Primate?
Source: zoopedia.blogspot.com and iiee.com Date: 03.17.07 Apelike Creature Reported in Angol (9th Region, Chile) by Raul Gajardo Lepold and Sigrid Grothe According to information in our files, we can say that Mr. Luis B.T., a well-known jeweler and native artisan of the 9th Region, retold a strange experience that befell his son-in-law in the winter of 2006. Luis’s son-in-law, a truck driver with an erratic schedule, could not believe what he was seeing on the road in June 2006 near midnight between a stretch of road from Los Angeles to Muchén. On that day he wasn’t carrying an assistant, so [...]
The Outer Edge
Just to answer a question about my first two books, The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, with Jerome Clark, yes, they have been republished. And yes, they reflect our youthful theories, long thrown overboard. But the reports, sightings, and some connections still ring true, decades later. First appearing in 1975 and 1978, these two paperbacks were published in 2006, as a special double edition with a new introduction. The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge: The Early Works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman is a combined quality paperbound book from Anomalist Books. The Unidentified has intriguing, [...]
Cryptomundo’s Ultimate CZ FAQs
(Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Fans, friends, and readers of Cryptomundo, I have an idea that it might be good to have a permanent “Cryptomundo’s Frequently Asked Questions” location attached to the Cryptomundo site. Perhaps it would be via a long blog of answers, or series of blogs. Maybe it would be a hyperlinked sidebar dedicated location. I see this as a gift in return to all those who have done so much to keep my blogging alive here. Let me see if this will work. The details will be ironed out. But the [...]
Swamp Creature Actor Dies
Doctor, I was thinking… just the work that you’ve done with the crocodiles and taking them back along the evolutionary path and making them into fish would be enough to win you world acclaim.“Tom,” Curse of the Swamp Creature Yes, but acclaim… that’s nothing. To create life, to move it up and down the evolutionary path… that’s something. Something I don’t think you quite appreciate, Tom.“Dr. Simond Trent,” Curse of the Swamp Creature The plot to Curse of the Swamp Creature is about as simple as the movie. Deep in the rural swamps of east Texas the mad Dr. Simond [...]
A Life Explored In Words
I sometimes neglect the fact that few people know really what I have written, in total. Today, for example, a young man emailed me with this message: “How many books have you done Loren? I have only come across two.” Well, I can forget myself, often, for many reasons. It happens. Ha ha. Memory and lists of things-to-do aside, one reason is that there are many ways to count the unfolding of my life that occurs via my modest library of written works. You can look at “how many” in terms of various editions, revisions, and reprints. Or you can [...]

Stream of consciousness cryptozoology? Connect the dots romantic zoology? Twilight language hominology? Have you ever chosen a date, pondered, wondered, and seen where it took you? Let’s begin with January 30th, for example, and see where we go today. Let me examine first this curious little book entitled Bigfoot: Tales of Unexplained Creatures. It was published in 1978. Were you around in 1978? Do you recall the booklet’s investigator, a guy named Dennis Pilchis? Pilchis’ little organization existed in Rome, Ohio, and was called Page Research Library. His group privately published this thin strange book, Bigfoot: Tales of Unexplained Creatures, [...]

“Crypto Zoologists” Don’t Exist
Theeggfarm has many poems on their site, here and there and all around. Allow me to share, if I might, which I much appreciate, one just found: Untitled #8 (For Crypto Zoologists) by hybrid If every creature Rumored but Unproven By Crypto Zoologists Were given a stewin’ I’d hazard a guess that my favorite meat Would be tender morsels Of mermaid feet In reply and in the same tone, let me pen my very own: Mermaids Have No Feet (Untitled #1) by Loren Coleman Eggfarm No harm You made us two Words as the who But we are together Which [...]
