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...

RICHARD MUIRHEAD NEEDS YOUR HELP

Dear folks

Sometimes one thing leads to another in Fortean research and today is a case in point. I compiled my latest Muirhead`s Mysteries blog and sent it off to Jon today, Monday July 11th with a reference to a magazine called The Saucerian Review which had an article on a Hairy Beast in Hong Kong in its January 1956 edition. There are several strands of interest here. Did the magazine think this hairy beast was a kind of alien, because it left triangular “footprints”? Also, the magazine cost c. £60 on ebay and I think hundreds of pounds on abebooks.co.uk which I`m not going to spend. Also, apparently the chupacabra leaves triangular “footprints” ? Another issue – just how many more mystery animal reports from Hong Kong and elsewhere are hidden away in the depths of obscure and less obscure magazines of a UFOlogical nature?Does anyone out there own The Saucerian Review for Jan 1956 and if so please couldshe/he look this story up for me? I searched on the Hong Kong Online newspaper archive I know of but found nothing and I await a reply from the central library in Hong Kong for further information.

It is fortunate indeed Jon didn`t start writing the Mystery Animals of Hong Kong book 5 years ago as information is still turning up!


Yours sincerely
