OLL LEWIS: 5 QUESTIONS ON… CRYPTOZOOLOGY - Dave Curtis

Today’s guest is Dave Curtis. Dave is an old stalwart of the CFZ and a great guy, if you came to the 2008 Weird Weekend you’ll remember him from the children’s monster making area, he’ll be back again this year.


Dave Curtis, here are your 5 questions on… Cryptozoology:

1) How did you first become interested in cryptozoology?

I read In Search of Myths and Monsters as a child and that got me hooked on the subject.


2) Have you ever personally seen a cryptid or secondary evidence of a cryptid, if so can you please describe your encounter?

I have never seen a cryptid but Jon and the team were staying at my house "Up North" in Dawdon Seaham when Jon saw the Beast at Bolam Lake.


3) Which cryptids do you think are the most likely to be scientifically discovered and described some day, and why?

I think the sea serpent will eventually classified. After the tragic tsunami a few years ago, a whole host of new species was quite literally thrown at us from the deep! It will not be long before one is filmed I am sure.


4) Which cryptids do you think are the least likely to exist?

This will put the cat among the pigeons but for me the idea that flesh and blood Big Foot type creatures are roaming about Britain is pushing it a bit far! No `Stig of the Dump` for me I am afraid.


5) If you had to pick your favourite cryptozoological book (not including books you may have written yourself) what would you choose?

Joint first. The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel and The Owlman and Others by Jonathan Downes. Both classics I keep going back to again and again.
