The Top 100 Cryptozoologists |
|
|
July 12, 2005
FATE Magazine has commissioned Loren Coleman to do the research, compile, and
write the biographies for "The Top 100 Cryptozoologists: The Major Living
Personalities Associated with Cryptozoology." You can have input and be part
of the project via suggesting those personalities you think should go on the
list.
As with the recent list of top
100
Ufologists, the cryptozoologists on the new list must be living,
involved in cryptozoology fieldwork, research and writing, and have had a major
influence on the field via their thoughts, theories, works, personality, media
impact, peer relationships, and discoveries. Cryptozoologists included will be
students of various cryptids, including Sea Serpents, Lake Monsters, Yeti,
Bigfoot, as well as the lesser known unknown or hidden animals such as the
Tsuchinoko, Waitoreke, or the oft-forgotten Tatzelwurm.
Loren Coleman is approaching the list without personal bias, and will include
people that may not wish to be in the same room with each other at a Bigfoot,
Nessie, or Cryptozoology conference, but who have importance, significance,
fame, or infamy in this subfield of zoology. Impact is one of many keys to
getting on the list, and such diverse individuals as Mark A. Hall, Peter Byrne,
Erik Beckjord, Craig Woolheater, John Kirk, Richard Greenwell, Bobbie Short, Bob
Gimlin, Jill Miller, Adrain Shine, Robert Rines, Chad Arment,
John Lutz, Helen McGinnis, Greg Long, John Green, Karl Shuker, June O'Neill, John Keel,
and Ben Radford are seriously being considered for the list.
If you have any suggested names, please send them along to Loren Coleman, here
before August 30, 2005. |
