Loren Coleman has spent most of his career chasing down both fact and fiction when it comes to the strange, unidentified creatures that may or may not wander the world. As the founder and curator of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, he has amassed an amazing collection of ephemera related to everything from Bigfoot and the Yeti to the chupacabra and the Jersey Devil. More specifically, he’s also done extensive research on the cryptids — the term for an animal that is claimed but not proven to exist — that may wander the woods and waters of Maine.
