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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today


On this day in 1590 Governor John White returned to Plymouth after his unsuccessful attempt to locate his family and the rest of the settlers of the lost colony of Roanoke. You can learn more about the unsolved mystery of the lost colony by attending my walking tour of Plymouth's paranormal past, The Strange History Of Plymouth, which leaves from the shrimp obelisk near the Mayflower Steps at 2 and 3 pm this Saturday and also on the 30th and 31st of October. The tour is suitable for the whole family and costs only £6 per adult and £4 for children under 11 (all under 16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult). It's perfect for Halloween and a half term day trip. If you live in the South West of England you can't call yourself a true Fortean until you've been on the tour, so come on and take a walk on the weird side!
