WEIRD WEEKEND IN THE PRESS

TALES of the Yeti will abound in Woolsery when the largest gathering of esoteric natural history scholars in the English-speaking world,takes over the village community hall..

The Centre for Fortean Zoology’s annual conference, the Weird Weekend, will see speakers from all over the country discussing their work and discoveries.

The Weird Weekend, being held from August 18-21, is now in its 12th year and is the largest convention of its kind. This year’s speakers include one of the world’s leading geneticists, Professor Bryan Sykes, who will be speaking on the Yeti and samples of hair he has tested.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1976 the director Fritz Lang died. Lang is most famous for 'Metropolis' but in my opinion another of his early films, 'M' is even better.
And now the news:

Connecticut River monster (via Chad Arment)
Boffin breeds 'world's tiniest frogs'
Canadian Fish Scientist 'Muzzled' by Government
Gary the greedy gourami takes a break from eating ...

DALE DRINNON'S CRYPTOZOOLOGY POSTS FOR MONDAY MORNING

Two matters concerning Lake Monsters came to my attention and seemed to need immediate treatment. I am still holding on a piece about a scrap of Neanderthal cranium dredged up from the bottom of the North Sea.

The first posting is on Russia's Monster of Lake Brosno:
