Loren Coleman is far and away the most prolific and well-known SynchroMystic on the web today. With over forty book titles to his credit, many of which are on the subject of cryptozoology<\/em> (i.e., the study of alleged “hidden animals,” like “Big Foot” and the famed “Loch Ness Monster”), Coleman looms large on (what we might call) paranormal<\/em> wavelengths.<\/p>\n

For an introduction to the fascinating possibility that the world’s fauna include more species than those so-far cataloged and on display at your city menagerie, Coleman is the go-to guy.<\/p>\n

Among his cryptozoological print offerings are Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America<\/em><\/a> (New York: Paraview, 2003),\u00a0Cryptozoology A to Z<\/em> (with Jerome Clark, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1999), The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates<\/em><\/a> (with Patrick Huyghe, New York: Anomalist, 2006), Monsters of Massachusetts<\/em><\/a> (Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole, 2013), and Mysterious America<\/em><\/a> (Kindle Edition, 2007).<\/p>\n

He also maintains the cryptozoologically dedicated weblog, CryptoZooNews<\/em><\/a>, and is curator of (and, presumably, docent at) the International Cryptozoology Museum<\/a>\u00a0at Thompson’s Point in Portland, Maine.<\/p>\n

Of primary interest to us here, however, are the industrious Mr. Coleman’s other, more Fortean and SynchroMystical, researches.<\/p>\n

Prominent in this regard are his innumerable posts on the Twilight Language<\/a> weblog, which boasts well over 4 million total visitors.<\/p>\n

The site’s name is a reference to an obscure, symbol-infused “language” that has apparent connections with various, Eastern, religious concepts – especially in certain Buddhist sub-traditions. (See here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
