WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

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.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

WE ARE BACK - AND THIS TIME IT'S.....

Yes, we are back from Ireland. We had a smashing time, and I was very pleased to find (that as I suspected) Corinna got on swimmingly with her Wizard-in-law.

Because, as I have said before in these pages, Tony `Doc` Shiels, the one-time Wizard of the Western World, is the nearest thing to a father I still have. And seeing my surrogate `dad` for the first time in years was the most important thing to happen as far as I was concerned.

But on Thursday (late afternoon) we were at a place called `Ladies View` looking down onto the three lakes of Killarney.

On the upper lake we did see some anomalous objects, which appear to be animate. And furthermore, we did film and photograph them.

Before anyone gets excited, we have not got crystal clear footage of humps and a long neck looming out of the water. Why? Because that's not what we saw.

But we do have footage taken from halfway up the mountain of a number of "things", as Ivan T. would doubtlessly have called them, moving through the water, leaving significant wakes.

We will be releasing them over the next day or so, but truthfully, at the moment my head is like the screen of my computer when the hourglass sign comes up and it needs to compute something.
