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


The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 

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.
    The new issue of Gonzo Weekly, in a swish new format, is here. It has interviews with Tim Blake, Craig High from the Psychedelic Warlords, Cyrille Verdeaux goes native, plus Acid Mothers Temple, Joey Molland remembers working with John, George and Ringo, Mice on Stilts, Steve Hillage and more news, reviews, views, interviews and and London Zoos (OK, no metropolitan menageries, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! We are also relaunching with a brand new layout and format for our 70th issue. We hope that you like it.

He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange kitten?
