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...
Doc Shiels rang me up at about 2a.m. on May Day. He wanted to wish us a happy Bealtaine, but in the course of a rambling conversation he warned that Owlman "stuff" might be happening this summer. The next day Matt Williams emailed me this! He wrote:

Is this the same circle that appeared in that place back in August 2009? As per the story at:

Or is this something new? It looks the same to me, but my old eyes arent' what they used to be, lol.
I recall travelling out of Woolsery last year, after appearing at the Weird weekened, and I was reading Jon's 'Owlman' book, and heard about the crop circle which Kithra mentioned.
There's no such thing as coincidence ;-)
You're so right, Neil. There is no such thing as a coincidence.
Perhaps Owlman will turn up again this year; although I have a feeling it's only likely to happen if we have a hot summer. I live just 4 miles from Mawnan Smith, where my family lives, and I too loved Jon's Owlman book. It's a mystery that has long fascinated me.
