Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
I have just heard that John Keel is seriously ill. Theo Paijmans writes:

It's a shame. The fellow deserves to be a millionaire as a result of all the material (credited and uncredited) directly influenced by his researches. Keel's eyesight was also notoriously poor, which necessitated painful surgery in 2001, and it occurred to me that such pains may be the payback for continuously chasing UFO phenomena about the place in the 1960s. Also, I hear another honorable member of the Old Guard, John Michell, isn't too chipper these days. . .
We live in an increasingly trivial, nasty world — this is what the elites want. Chaos and stupidity is NOT a problem for them — it's their raison d'etre for social control. At least the CFZ is doing its bit to arrest this decline by keeping the spirit of free, unbounded enquiry alive for future generations as this Old Guard passes on.
