Loren Coleman Announces Next International Cryptozoology Conference

For those of you who attended the last Cryptozoology Conference and had a blast (or for those that missed it, you have a second chance!), the next dates have been announced!

The Fourth Annual International Cryptozoology Conference will be taking place April 26th - April 28th in 2019 once again sponsored by the International Cryptozoology Museum. Loren Coleman, director of the International Cryptozoology Museum and Cosimo author, had originally planned to skip ahead to 2020 due to costs, but thanks to the generous donations of museum patrons, fans of his work, passionate readers, and friends, the Conference is schueled to continue its annual presence in Maine.

If you would like to help make this event a reality, please consider donating to the GoFundMe page for the International Cryptozoology Conference. Coleman and his staff would need to raise all funds by December 2018 to be able to secure the speakers and place deposits on the rentals and equipment.

October Quote of the Month: "Mothman...is more terrifying than we ever knew"

"Mothman, one of America’s most haunting monsters , is more terrifying than we ever knew."
 - Richard Hatem, The Mothman Prophecies screenwriter

Our October Quote of the Month is so spooky, it refers to not one, but two books! Mothman and Other Curious Encounters and Mothman: Evil Incarnate, both by Loren Coleman are our featured titles for this month's quote from Richard Hatem.

On November 15, 1966, a huge, red-eyed creature with wings appeared over Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Thus began thirteen months of otherworldly mystery, madness, and mayhem for the people of Point Pleasant, culminating in the collapse of the Silver Bridge, which left 46 dead.

But contrary to popular belief, Mothman is not a one-off phenomon. Leading cryptozoologist and investigator Loren Coleman looks at the precursors of Mothman, like the Flatwoods Monster of 1952, then brings the story up to date, detailing the sightings of the spawn of Mothman at the beginning of this century. Coleman also examines the impact on investigations into the unknown by John Keel, the newsman who spend a year in Point Pleasant looking into the Mothman story and lived to write about it.

Mothman: Evil Incarnate, by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, is the new companion title to the late John Keel's The Mothman Prophecies (1975), which investigated the sightings of a winged creature called Mothman and became popularized in the 2002 movie of the same name starring Richard Gere.

With new material by Loren Coleman, extensive annotations on each chapter of The Mothman Prophecies, a detailed Mothman death list, and a gallery of images, Mothman: Evil Incarnate comprises the most up-to-date information on Mothman phenomena. In addition to providing context to John Keel's cult classic, Coleman expands on missing details from the movie, explores the deaths that followed the West Virginia incident, describes the recent Chicago Mothman sightings, and delves into the life of John Keel. This companion book should find its place on every Mothman aficionado and cryptozoology fan's bookshelf. The mystery continues!
