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 9 – Friday


Last night’s sleep was not very good. This was perhaps, in part due to going to bed at about 4 in the morning. However, I feel it was mostly down to how freezing cold it was. I put on more and more layers as the night went on and yet more just after sunrise. I got up at around noon and went into a house crammed with people. After breakfast there was some time to rest and eat lunch before heading to the hall to set up the tunnel of goats. Then, I ate again.
At around 6 we all went down to the hall to ensure that everything was right for the evening. This first day didn’t officially start till 7pm. Although the first talk, by Richard Ingram, started a little late, it also finished early. This gave people a little more time for food and alcohol. I didn’t eat till a little later. The burgers there were delicious and as enjoyable as each of the talks. Ronan Coghlan is an amazing lecturer, but my favourite talk was by Lars Thomas.
