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...
* Lindsay Selby is, as you know, unable to make this year's event due to severe ill health. She has, however, sent down things for a display, as well as things for children's prizes. We all send her our love, best wishes, and healing thoughts and pray that she will be back to normal, and with us next year!
With less than two weeks to go, now might be a good time to buy your tickets to the best crypto-fortean event of the year....

The incredible survival story of Australian Hayden Adcock, the man who survived 11 days lost in the Laos jungle in 2008 and was attacked by giant lizards, is the feature of episode #3 of Miracles, and can be viewed on ABC's iView for a short time here: 
As you know, Oll has been working on the archiving project since early February 2009 and he is now working on a general mish-mash of a section known as `General Forteana`. This nineteenth collection once again really is a general mishmash of completely uncategoriseable stuff, including a woman who jumped out of an aircraft and survived, a poet who wanted a volume of his poetry bound in his own skin, Romanian prisoners hammering nails into their own skulls and a chiropractor who claimed to have been kidnapped by a lost tribe of native Australians. It doesn't get much better than this. Good stuff.
