CFZ CANADA: The Monster Under the Bed
When is a monster not a monster? When it’s a cryptid.
Realistically, cryptids, although often thought of as monsters, are really fairly harmless. Even the feared Mothman has never actually harmed anyone. Bigfoot doesn’t eat you. And the Mongolian Death Worm? Is that even real?

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?Well, everything actually!
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS
There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.
THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS JUDGED
The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
Considering that my old potato shed where I spend
most of my life was built to hold potatoes, and not people, and is not very big,
yesterday afternoon when Judge Smith, Andrea my newly found amanuensis, her
husband Steve, Prudence the dog and I were all crammed into it, was an excercise
in topology which beggared belief. But we managed to achieve quite a lot. Then
Steve left and was almost immediately replaced by Helen, Jessica and Daniel who
all crammed into the potato shed and I had a mild understanding of what the
Black Hole of Calcutta might have been like. This morning it is only me, Judge
and Saskia. Sas is building a shed with Graham, and Judge is diligently doing
minor corrections to his first book so we can release a second edition. I,
however, am writing blogs and trying to decide whether I can get away with
buying some tylomelania water snails from Sulawesi, with which both Saskia and I
have fallen deeply in love. The answer is, of course, that no I can't afford
them, but I am going to buy them anyway.
