Top Cryptozoology Deaths of 2016
by Loren Coleman, Cryptozoology A to Z.
Director, International Cryptozoology Museum
In 2016, we appeared to be visited by one of the worst of marauding Death Angels to be remembered in recent years. Many notables left this plane, and the suffering by the loved ones was felt widely. This was true also due to the recently departed from the fields of cryptozoology, hominology and Bigfoot hunting, in general. Many deaths touched many.
At the end of this year, the mainstream reviews of 2016 will reflect on the apparently unusual number of high profile deaths that occurred during the past 12 months. We may wish to consider the cluster of Bigfoot-cryptozoology investigator passings as significant too. During 2016, the news of the deaths of John Green, Mark A. Hall, Smokey Crabtree, Barry Blount, Ed Bousfield, Thomas Scott Ruh, Mary Green and several local investigators were startling to behold.
All deaths are deeply experienced. Let us pause to record those who have passed away in 2016, with respect for them, their families, and for all they shared and created. These individuals are noted here in my annual goodbye and celebration of their lives.
I honor them all, whether mentioned here or not.
