The High Cryptozoology Deaths of 2021
by Loren Coleman, Cryptozoology A to Z
Director, Worldwide Cryptozoology Museum
The times within the North are rising longer and darker as we replicate on the deceased folks of 2021 whose lives have been touched by cryptozoology and cryptids, who produced the books we learn on monsters and Bigfoot, and people who have touched others.
The 12 months of 2021 continued the awfulness of the pandemic, and dying surrounded us, even in cryptozoology.
Throughout this troubling 12 months cryptozoology and hominology noticed some well-known and lesser-known figures die. All deaths are deeply skilled, and we pause to recollect those that have handed away, with respect for them, their households, and for all they shared and created. Some very outdated of us handed away, and a few surprisingly younger folks too. Cryptozoologists and cryptid fieldworkers, cryptomovie stars, media of us and in style culturists are recalled right here for our annual goodbye and celebration of those 13 lives.
