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...

SHERI THE CFZ INTERN: Day 11 – Sunday


I’ve slept better every night that I have been in the night, which gives me increasingly bright starts in the mornings. This could have been partially damaged today by the immense queue for the bathroom. Time was ticking on, however, so I hurried about my morning activities and sped down to the hall. I arrived within plenty time. This seemed to rather impress Ronan who expressed it as though I had some form of super blogging power. This is not the case.

The first talk of the day, about orbs, received a notable amount of scepticism from the audience. I was extra excited for the talk about Bigfoot, but was somewhat disappointed with the content. I was also a little under-enthused with the dinner. The food itself was OK, but the portion was smaller than I had as a child. After this, the majority of us stayed in the bar until around 1 a.m. As it was the last - not just for me, but a large number of us - nobody wanted to go to bed. We stayed up, back at the house, long after the alcohol ran out. It was around 5 o’clock by the time I got into bed. I had to be up about 9 to stand a chance at catching my train. Oh dear.
