Volunteers help move an 800-pound wooden statue of Bigfoot to the International Cryptozoology Museum at Thompson’s Point in Portland.

A statue of Bigfoot that was moved to the Crypozoology Museum in Portland Friday is over 8 feet tall and was named Elwood by the museum’s founder, Loren Coleman.

A new statue of Bigfoot will sit outside the Cryptozoology Museum’s new location at Thompson’s Point, which will open to the public July 1. Owner Loren Coleman said the museum is moving from 11 Avon St. in Portland because the lease is expiring.
