Loren Coleman is a leading authority on some diverse topics.

He has a master’s degree in clinical social work and has worked for years as a researcher and consultant in the field of suicide prevention and school violence, all over the country.

But he also has degrees in anthropology and zoology, and over the years he’s become a national figure in cryptozoology, the area of documenting new or unknown animals. Cryptozoology includes the study of legendary mystery creatures like Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman, as well as the search for not-yet-documented birds, reptiles or cats.

Coleman, 60, is a former adjunct professor at the University of Southern Maine and has written 30 books on cryptozoology and related fields. He’s also consulted on TV shows like NBC’s “Unsolved Mysteries,” the History Channel’s “Monster Quest,” and A&E’s “Ancient Mysteries.”

On the heels of Darwin Day, the Hearst Museum displays plaster casts of alleged Sasquatch footprints — and ponders the nature of evidence and truth.

Bigfoot? At Berkeley?

Hold your fire, if not your skepticism. In the equivocal spirit of sightings of Bigfoot himself — according to folklore and a handful of so-called cryptozoologists, a towering, human-like hominid that roams the dense forests of the American Northwest and British Columbia on two legs — casts of what may or may not be the creature’s footprints are now on view at the Hearst Museum of Anthropology.

This is an excerpt from a post made in the abovetopsecret.com forum.

About 8 p.m. tonight the dogs were out in the dog yard raising holy hell. Barking like I have never heard them bark in their lives. Daughter went to let them in and when she was on her way back from the kennel building, she let out the most spine chilling scream I have ever heard. She finally managed to get in the house and was HYSTERICAL. Read more »

Field review by the editors of RoadsideAmerica.com

You may be surprised to learn that the most likely place to see an American bigfoot, outside of the Pacific Northwest, is in the Florida Everglades. The region around the tiny town of Ochopee is particularly favored by smelly, hairy bipeds, and it is here that the Shealy brothers — Dave and Jack — have opened the world’s only Skunk Ape Research Headquarters.

This Queensbury resident asked us to keep his identity a secret but he remembers the day he was picnicking with his wife in the Adirondacks just outside of Fort Ann: what they encountered they weren’t prepared for.

“In your scope of perspective of what you know things like that shouldn’t be making that noise out there in the woods.” Witness

Think about this. We send probes to other planets to check them out. Our probes collect soil samples and analyze them on the spot. We even sent a probe to crash into an asteroid—and our Voyager 1 probe has traveled over 9 billion miles from the sun. Now, imagine we have time-traveled 100 years into the future, to a time when humans have developed the technology to send manned missions to other worlds. What would we do if we journeyed to a planet, only to discover sentient beings living there? These beings possess technology far inferior to ours; in fact, they seem downright primitive in comparison. What would we do?
