For some Bigfoot hunters, the thrill is gone

Loren Coleman last week discussed the Bigfoot hunters who’ve given up their single-minded pursuit of the elusive beast.

Here’s how one Squatch-seeker said “so long,” recently:

“There comes a time when all things must change, when our interests transform, and our needs become different. That time has come for me in respect to this blog. I have enjoyed the journey that this blog represents, but my friends, I must tell you, it is done.

“In fact, I am now retired from looking for bigfoot in any capacity from here out. For me, bigfoot has become not less of a mystery since I started looking into it in 2004, but much, much more mysterious. I despair of actually ever discovering what lies at the bottom of the matter.”

Coleman offers-up even more reasons why he thinks his colleagues cut bait.

Coleman accused: short shrift to Bigfoot sex

Loren Coleman — one of the Heretic’s “Ten to Watch in 2010” — reports that one Bigfoot sex-obsessed lecturer complained to the Portland Daily Sun (in its April 1 edition) that his research was omitted from the legendary cryptozoologist’s forthcoming tome about the beast:

It seems that “Henry Yarncooler, a lecturer on Bigfoot legends, said he can’t understand why [Loren] Coleman and co-author Michelle Souliere, owner of the Green Hand bookstore where the [International] Cryptozoology Museum resides, want to censor details of Bigfoot’s breeding habits.”

It does not appear, from Coleman’s post, that the Portland Daily Sun contacted him, or cited his past presentations and writings on  “cryptosexology,” particularly those pertaining to the mighty, hairy, one.

Premier cryptozoologist and Bigfoot hunter, Loren Coleman, is collaborating on a new book with another, not-so-crazy Mainer:

“Tentatively, Bigfoot in Maine by Loren Coleman and Michelle Souliere, is due for 2012, from Idyll Arbor, Inc.. The company’s publisher, Pine Winds Press has released Bigfoot in Georgia: Legends, Myths, and Sightings by Jeffrey Wells, the now-classic Bigfoot Casebook Updated by Janet and Colin Bords, Valley of the Skookum by Sali Sheppard-Wolford, and Robert W. Morgan’s two books. Pine Winds Press shall be trekking its way through other states in the near future, in search of writers of other Bigfoot books.”

The Age, with help from a “professional skeptic,” tries to knock-down Sasquatch, UFOs, ghosts, global warming and 9/11 conspiracies — all in one shot. (Click the image, above, to see the article and vid.)

“(The internet) has been the driving force behind a lot of social movements and conspiracy theories,” says the founder of the Skeptic Magazine.

For conspiracy and esoteric researchers, not to mention real cryptozoologists like Loren Coleman (he’s the best in the business), this can be maddening.

By linking charlatans such as Tom Biscardi to those questioning the U.S. government’s stories about 9/11 or global warming, Shermer discredits honest research.
