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...

OLL LEWIS: 5 QUESTIONS ON… CRYPTOZOOLOGY - LAPIS

Today’s guest - or rather, guests - are the members of the Lancashire Anomalous Phenomena Investigation Society (LAPIS). LAPIS hold regular meetings in Blackpool so if you live in the Lancashire area and you like UFOs (or indeed any kind of Fortean phenomena) I urge you to pop along to one of their meetings. Their conference, which this year is exclusively UFO and alien related subject matter to mark the anniversary of the Rendlesham Forest incident, is scheduled to take place on the 10th of May in St Annes, more details can be found on the group’s website: http://www.lapisufo.com/

The five questions were put to the group, which was slightly depleted due to recent snows, at their last meeting by John Nuttall.

So LAPIS, here are your five questions on… Cryptozoology:

1) How did you first become interested in cryptozoology?


We first became interested many years ago after watching a Bigfoot documentary.

2) Have you ever personally seen a cryptid or secondary evidence of a cryptid, if so can you please describe your encounter?

No.

3) Which cryptids do you think are the most likely to be scientifically discovered and described some day, and why?

Bigfoot because there are so many people looking and with habitat destruction they may be coming closer to being exposed.

4) Which cryptids do you think are the least likely to exist?

The Loch Ness Monster and the Beast of Lytham.

5) If you had to pick your favourite cryptozoological book (not including books you may have written yourself) what would you choose?

Monster of the Mere by Jonathan Downes.
