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...

CRYPTOLINK: Question about Hairy Man or Bigfoot in our land

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

Here is an illustration of a Hairy Man that was observed hiding and peeking through brush in the Askinuk Mountains by a witness many years ago.


By now, you may have read over a dozen stories of sightings of Hairy Man in the Y-K Delta. We still have many more stories that we have collected and will be publishing in future issues.

As you know or might be learning, the Hairy Man is a creature of the wilderness but is always remaining hidden from humans. It is much taller than a man, and is hairy all over except for the face, hands and feet. It has long arms and a massive body. Its hair varies in color, from jet black, to brown or blonde, and sometimes white. They said the aged Hairy Man creatures turn white with age just like humans.

It is rare to have one sighting a year in the Y-K Delta, but rarer still when we’ve had at least three sightings this year (so far) in 2013. We’ve told one of those stories, the sighting near Nelson Island by the Qalvinraq River. The other unpublished stories are in Mt. Village and St. Mary’s.

However, we are also getting a lot of questions and comments from readers about the creature known as Bigfoot by other people and cultures. One main question is, “Why are there so many Bigfoots being seen nowadays in our lands (the Y-K Delta)?”

The answer is, the creature may have around as long as the humans have inhabited the planet. They appear to be a rare wilderness animal however. They are not just in the Y-K Delta, but many locations in North America. The sightings of them published in The Delta Discovery are events that happened far and few between. Most of us might have never heard of them until now, as we are providing a platform for the stories to be told.

Some sightings happened many years ago and are finally getting into print. Some stories happened in the last 20 years and even those sightings are separated by much time, but putting them into our newspaper makes them seem like the sightings are happening more frequently, when the opposite is actually true.
