Loren Coleman

Biography:

Loren Coleman is one of the world's leading cryptozoologists. An honorary member of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, and several other international organizations, he is also a Life Member of the International Society of Cryptozoology. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969.

Coleman has been investigating, in the field and in the library, cryptozoological evidence and folklore since the Abominable Snowmen caught his interest over four decades ago, leading him to research mysterious Black Panther sightings and reports of Napes (North American Apes) in the American Midwest. He has traveled to every state in the USA, throughout Canada, Mexico, Scotland, and the Virgin Islands, interviewing witnesses of Lake Monsters, Bigfoot, Giant Snakes, Mystery Felids, Mothman, Thunderbirds, and other cryptids.

	Transhumanism, Stargates & Watchers
	Tuesday August 26, 2008

Researcher Tom Horn outlined connections between transhumanism, the 'Watchers,' and stargates. Interestingly, transhumanism, which involves human enhancement through such fields as biotech, appears in ancient texts, he said. Repeatedly, he ran across the idea of god-like beings (or the Watchers) coming down to Earth and genetically tinkering with humans, as well as blending different species together. Classical mythology may have been a crude record of these blending experiments, he noted. Horn postulated the Watchers needed to blend human/animal forms in order to create a suitable body to extend themselves-- a regular human spirit wouldn't enter such a hybrid form. Now, developments in fields such as biotechnology could be leading to a new mechanism for the Watchers return, he cautioned. Stargates or wormholes may be used by advanced beings to traverse through dimensions, time, and vast distances, said Horn. He recounted details from the epic tale of Nimrod, a giant ... More

	'Bigfoot' Press Conference Update
	Friday August 15, 2008

Researcher Ruben Uriarte appeared briefly at the start of the program to comment on Friday's lackluster 'Bigfoot' news conference (video) held by Matt Whitton, Rick Dyer, and a self-proclaimed Sasquatch hunter. Uriarte was immediately followed by mask and prop maker Chuck Jarman, who said the dead Bigfoot 'body' is a costume (pictured, left) that he sculpted for a Halloween company two years ago.Noted cryptozoologist Loren Coleman joined George for the rest of the first half of the show to provide his analysis of the 'Bigfoot' press conference. Coleman said they should have rolled out the body today, or at the very least brought in photos of the feet and the scientists who are examining the creature. Coleman questioned the use of Russian scientists for the autopsy, noting that there are plenty of capable scientist in North America. He also pointed out several contradictions, including the fishy timeline and Whitton's claim to be a Bigfoot skeptic despite an earlier admission th ... More

	The Afterlife & Contact w/the Dead
	Tuesday August 12, 2008

Author Craig Hogan shared his research into contact with the dead, and the powers of the mind. The human mind exists independently of the brain, he argued, citing remote viewing ability as an example of how the mind can see at a great distance. During the dream state, it's the mind that's active, not the brain, he added. The afterlife is made up of millions of spheres and planes, with realms similar to Earth-- someone entering the afterlife would typically assume the body of when they were between 20 to 30, he said. Eventually, people evolve onto higher planes and become celestial beings, Hogan noted.Some spirits though, remain earthbound and can seek to negatively influence the living's behavior so they can live vicariously through them, he explained. A number of methods have yielded communications with the deceased, including EVP and induced after-death communication (IADC), he reported. IADC involves an eye movement induction technique discovered by Dr. Allan Botki ... More

	Shamanism & Earth Changes
	Sunday June 1, 2008

Futurist John Jay Harper shared his investigation into native shamanism as it correlates with the near-death experience (NDE), earth changes, and a global shift in consciousness.The shamanic tradition dates back thousands of years. Shamans, often engaged in healing work, travel to other realms and then translate back symbols of what they've seen, he explained. The shamanic experience shares similarities to NDEs, with an "initiate" traveling to the other side. Near death experiencer, George Ritchie, described realms of a higher vibrational rate that co-exist just above our world, and contain laboratories and schools.One of the common themes Harper uncovered in his NDE research was of earth transformations to come. During a 20-year period (begun in 1992) a major solar event will trigger a pole shift and the melting of the ice caps, he detailed.Harper, through his own visions, sees regional disruptions due to earthquakes on both the East and West coasts, as well as t ...

	Psychic Energies
	Wednesday September 13, 2006

Psychic Angela Moore debuted on the show, sharing her intuitive perceptions and offering tips for developing psychic skills. Everyone has the ability to tap into these kinds of energies, she said, yet if one is not protected there can be danger in picking up negative emanations. Moore described an incident where she was sitting at home and felt an intense fear, having to do with being killed. It turned out that that night a neighbor was abducted and murdered, and she believes she was picking up the energy of the event. Dreams, and in particular early morning ones, can sometimes offer important information or precognitive material, she noted. One of her spirit guides, appears to her in dreams, and is always sensed as a woman standing behind her. She "literally interprets as I'm dreaming," said Moore. Learning to get in touch with your psychic side is somewhat of a trial and error process. Attention, belief and creativity (ABC) are the basic building blocks, and using affirmat ... More

	Bigfoot & Other Creatures
	Wednesday May 10, 2006

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman discussed the Malaysian Bigfoot search, an Argentina Lake Monster case and other unusual creature sightings (view related images). Vincent Chow, a Malaysian cryptozoologist reportedly has photographs of a Bigfoot creature but is not ready to release them yet, said Coleman. Peter Loh's drawings (above) are based on the descriptions of the creatures, which are said to have faces that are somewhere between a gorilla and a human. We're "really in the vortex of a discovery that could shake us all up," Coleman commented. He offered analysis of the Mount Hood photo recently taken by a remote camera that is purported by some to be a Bigfoot. The hair color is different than a deer's, and though it resembles the tail of a horse, it doesn't quite match that either, he noted. There have been recent "mystery cat" sightings in Ohio and Coleman speculated that there could be a breed of large tiger-like animals left over from the Ice Age. Photos of a "lake monst ... More

	Paranormal Research & Investigations
	Monday February 20, 2006

Paranormal researcher Nick Reiter shared case studies and theories regarding mysterious phenomena such as ghosts and entities. The unifying theme to such experiences appears to be human consciousness, and the phenomena can't be entirely separated from the living person's perceptions, he stated. He also believes there is "crossover" between ghosts and aliens, as both share the "trickster" element-- i.e. some type of intelligence cloaking itself. Among the cases he discussed, was a haunted farmhouse in Ohio that was the site of a double child homicide in 1905. An EVP they recorded there had the sound of knives being swiped against each other, he reported. Reiter noted that it's possible "geopathic factors" might preexist in a space and influence a person to commit violent acts. He presented details about The Penny Ghost case, which he studied in 2003. In a type of "apport," corroded pennies would fall out of thin air. Upon examination, Reiter found that the dates of the coins we ... More

	Nostradamus & Future Events
	Thursday January 26, 2006

Prophecy expert John Hogue returned to discuss such topics as the Middle East, global warming, asteroids and the bird flu, with a particular focus on what Nostradamus may have predicted about these things. The horrible war which is being prepared in the West, began one of Nostradamus' quatrains, which Hogue said may refer to a nuclear war being incited in the Middle East. Because Nostradamus gives astrological dating in the quatrain, Hogue said future times for this event could be in Feb. 2009, April/May 2011 and in the 2020's.We are living in the midst of the 27-year long war that Nostradamus wrote about, which is also the time that the third Antichrist will appear, Hogue stated. Nostradamus and a number of other prophets including Jesus, Quetzacotl, and Mohammad, all predicted massive oceanic flooding which Hogue related to global warming. He explained that he keeps a computer database containing 2,000 to 3,000 prophecies from around 700 prophets over the last 5,000 years. ... More

	Mothman & Thunderbirds
	Tuesday November 15, 2005

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman presented an overview of the Mothman case, noting that descriptions of the bird-like creature have grown more and more human over the decades. The original Mothman researcher John Keel thought the 1966-7 events in Point Pleasant had a demonological basis, said Coleman, who views the reports more from a zoological perspective. The creature has similarities to a giant owl, he added, and may have used air turbulence from cars to facilitate its flight.During the third hour, writer Mark Hall joined the show to share material on thunderbirds, which reportedly have a wingspan of 18 to 20 ft-- twice the size of any known birds. He recounted a 1977 Illinois case where a young boy was picked up and carried briefly by one of the giant birds. Though unharmed, the boy's hair turned gray after the incident. Hall said there were similar instances in the 1800's and even a tale where an Indian was flown to one of their nests. Also joining the show was Judy, a c ... More

	Unforgettable Open Lines
	Friday September 16, 2005

During Open Lines George offered a special hotline for people to share stories they will never forget. One caller recounted the time he drove his car through a house. The caller said he was driving under the influence of sleep medication and thought he was turning into his own driveway when he smashed into the house. According to the caller, the accident caused $50,000 of damage and the homeowner required therapy for recurring nightmares he had in which people kept crashing into his house.A caller from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada shared a strange encounter she had in a cemetery while visiting her father's grave. The caller said she had seen a nice wreath and decided to put it on her father's grave. Immediately after picking up the wreath the caller claims to have heard a horrifying and ghostly voice say, "Put that back!" Everyone's favorite demon, Oscar, returned to the show after being away for several months. He said he was behind Hurricane Katrina and has been in hell p ... More

	Cydonia Symbols
	Monday August 22, 2005

Founder of the Cydonia Institute, George Haas and his co-author William Saunders discussed their book, The Cydonia Codex. They believe that the ancient art and sculpture of Mesoamerica is reflected in geoglyphs of Mars, specifically as depicted in the 2001 'Face on Mars.' Haas suggested that the bifurcated Martian imagery was like a hieroglyphic writing system, and is evident not only on the Face but on other structures at Cydonia as well. Because the symbolism is repeated over and over again, it's statistically unlikely that the images are random, Haas continued, adding that it's akin to seeing all the characters from The Simpsons on the structures of Cydonia. Saunders suggested that the structures were easier to make because of the lesser gravity on that planet, and they could have more longevity because there isn't as much erosion there.Richard C. Hoagland of Enterprise Mission joined the discussion in the third hour, proposing that a kind of "reverse osmosis" could have ta ... More

	Bigfoot Roundtable
	Tuesday May 3, 2005

Researcher Loren Coleman and expedition leader Tom Biscardi were joined byfingerprint technician Jimmy Chilcutt (2nd Hour) and author Smokey Crabtree (3rd Hour) to discuss the elusive creature known as Bigfoot. The evening kicked off with a playing of the song I Still Believe in Bigfoot by Danny Freyer, which was followed by a discussion about the soon-to-be-released Bigfoot video footage from Canada (see below). Coleman said that the creature was photographed from 750 ft. away, so there may be resolution problems, and Biscardi commented that he'd been in touch with the photographer, Bobby Clarke, who impressed him as a reliable witness. Chilcutt reported that the dermal ridges he's studied had been replicated into a cast by Matt Crowley. Biscardi said his group has some hand casts which they hope to show at their upcoming Bigfoot Museum, being planned for a San Francisco location. While he feels we "may be getting very close" to a definitive discovery, Coleman noted that the Big ... More

	Mothman, Bigfoot & The Copycat Effect
	Monday February 14, 2005

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman offered updates on Bigfoot and Mothman and also discussed his new book, The Copycat Effect, which describes how the media can fuel violent behavior. The media's sensationalized coverage of crime and murder stories can act as a kind of mind control, he posited, particularly on susceptible teens who engage in suicidal ideation. Coleman recounted his investigation into the Mothman sightings that took place in 1966-7 in West Virginia. He classified the creature as a cryptozoological specimen akin to a giant owl and said that it may correlate to centuries-old descriptions given by Indians of a huge bird. Yet, there was also a "sinister" aspect to the case, which John Keel uncovered that connected the sightings with Men-in-Black, cattle mutilations and the collapse of the Silver Bridge where 46 people died. In that regard, Coleman believes there may be a Mothman death curse, where in addition to the bridge fatalities and witnesses, people associated with the ... More

	Parallel Realities
	Tuesday January 4, 2005

Guest Host Hilly Rose (email) welcomed renowned mind-body medicine expert, Dr. Shelley Kaehr, who talked about the evidence for parallel realities. Kaehr believes that "every time you make a decision, another universe is created."According to her theory, there are millions of different dimensional universes, populated by "another you that's doing that which you did not choose." As evidence, Kaehr cited the case study of one of her clients who claimed to have visited an alternate New York City where the twin towers were still standing because 9/11 never happened there.Kaehr also discussed the "Two Slit Experiment," in which a particle of light is given the choice of passing through one of two narrow slits. She pointed out that sometimes the light particle takes both paths simultaneously. "If a particle of light can be at two places at once, then you can also be at two places at once... or maybe more," Kaehr concluded. ... More

	Cryptozoology Update
	Monday August 2, 2004

Cryptozoologist and author Loren Coleman returned to the show, reporting on an unusual rash of mysterious creature sightings in Texas, Maryland, and North Carolina. He classified most of these animals as unidentified "hybrid canine" types and noted that the majority of them lacked hair. Coleman also discussed "thunderbird" reports of large wing-span birds which may live on the tops of certain mountains and could be similar to condors. He also noted tales of the "Big Hoot," a name coined by Mark Hall to describe a giant owl that may be associated with Mothman sightings.Describing a June Bigfoot sighting in Yukon Village, Coleman said witnesses reported seeing a huge "man" covered in hair that crossed the Alaskan Highway in just two steps. He also mentioned a recent report on the "Lake Champlain Monster," which he speculated may be a Nessie-like creature that is akin to a giant seal or walrus. ... More

	Bigfoot in America
	Thursday May 8, 2003

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman (lorencoleman.com) discussed his research into the Bigfoot phenomenon on Thursday night's show. He estimates there are at least 1500 of the hairy bipedal creatures spread out across the Pacific Northwest. While tests of hair samples and droppings have proved inconclusive, Coleman believes there is solid evidence for Bigfoot's existence such as in the large footprints found at sites, and the footage from the 1967 Patterson film. The recent death of Ray Wallace and his family's subsequent confession that Wallace used fake feet to hoax the 1958 Bluff Creek discovery of large tracks, led to some media reports dismissing the entire phenomenon. But Coleman pointed out that Wallace was known as a prankster and that the media incorrectly lumped his '58 hoax in with the Patterson film, tarnishing a completely separate event. "Sex and the Single Sasquatch," is the title of one of the chapters from his latest book, Coleman said. There was one alleged incident w ... More
