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...

Bigfoot had eluded capture one again, it seems. Monday afternoon, a 911 call came into the Buena Vista County Communications Center reporting that a child had seen a sasquatch near a home in Alta. The call was dutifully put out over the radio, prompting a double-take by scanner owners everywhere.

The county sheriff department's policy is to investigate all emergency calls. While the young caller had disconnected, the dispatcher was able to trace the call by GPS to an address on Highway Street. When an officer responded, there was apparently no one home and no sign of abominable snowmen or anything else unusual, and attention quickly returned to less spectacular duties.

"We're still on the search. We have invested an exhaustive amount of manpower and overtime," joked Sheriff's Major Doug Simons Tuesday.

So is Rick Dyer's bigfoot corpse the real deal? The answer is as plain as the nose on its face. Bigfoot enthusiast Martin Murphy posted this close-up photo of the underside of the nose of "Hank" which Rick Dyer is touring around the country trying to pass off as the body of a dead bigfoot.

CRYPTOLINK: Bigfoot Hunting: The New American Pastime, Or Something Else?

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me. 

The 1950s in America, with the innocence and excitement that abounded during that era, served dutifully as the “Golden Era” for a host of now famous modern endeavors. Following the Second World War, as the United States emerged from the conflict as one of the major world superpowers, creativity was running high, and new forms of industry and infrastructure were being identified and executed for profit, thanks in large part to the necessity for innovation that occurred during the war years.

The 1950s would also usher in an age when, in the absence of the requisite focus on wartime turmoil, curiosity, hearsay, and perhaps a bit of boredom, blended eloquently to lend themselves to new, and sometimes odd, interests. Of particular interest to our audience here, the 1950s ushered in such things as the modern flying saucer craze, as well as a new interest in an older story from further back up in the foothills around the Pacific Northwest: the alleged existence of “ape men” in the remote wilds of North America.

We sometimes forget how old this phenomenon really is, especially when we find ourselves watching the mind-numbing silliness (or sport, according to some) that so-called “Bigfoot hunting” has become. But has it really become the past time of a select few weekend-warriors who are out in search of the biggest-game there is, or is it a continuation of a much older cultural practice? Read on friends, and you may just learn the sad, shameful truth.

The discussion of the Bigfoot craze in America is a lot like flying saucers, in a sense, in that while the perceived fascination with the phenomenon would begin in the 1940s and 50s, there are earlier histories that involve both the wild men of the remote parts of America, as well as unidentified flying objects. Reports of strange airships–and even disc shaped craft in at least a few instances–do go back much further in our cultural memory than the first sighting of alleged “flying saucers” by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 (which, as has been argued elsewhere, may not have been “saucers” at all). The airship reports date back to the 1890s, often linked with Jules Verne’s presentations on such themes in books like Robur the Conquerer and its sequel, Master of the World. In similar fashion, reports of “wild men” in the Americas that pre-date the 1950s reports that led to the creation of “Bigfoot” (if in name only, and largely by members of the press, as had been the case with Arnold’s “saucers”) exist also; notable reports include a detailed affidavit written and signed by William Roe a few years prior to the famous hoax that fooled Jerry Crew at Bluff Creek, California, as well as earlier reports such as the “Ruby Ridge” incident, and collected accounts of the Harrison Lake Chehalis natives authored by J.W. Burns even earlier.



In those days, going out and “hunting” Bigfoot, for those who took the matter seriously, was something that was seldom done… although there were a few who were doing it, and trying to do it seriously. Namely, among these were writer and researcher John Green, as well as Rene Dahinden (who famously took a ver literalist “pro-kill” stance regarding Bigfoot “hunts” early on), as well as the British explorer and adventurer Peter Byrne, who would claim to have raised several millions of dollars throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s that had gone toward serious studies into Bigfoot’s potential existence. Zoologists the likes of Ivan Sanderson, as well as his colleague Bernard Huevelmans (who actually coined the term “cryptozoology) also took serious interest in the matter. Later, the renowned anthropologist Grover Krantz would enter the proverbial Bigfoot-ring, espousing views regarding “final proof” of the creature that mirrored Dahinden’s early offerings on the necessity for having to kill one of the creatures. Finally, one Archie Buckley, a pediatrist who studied alleged Bigfoot footprints, would attempt to make a strong case for their existence, in part with the help of promotion through programs like In Search Of…and other television specials which most of the men described above had variously appeared on.

Sasquatch


2014 has already turned out to be a very interesting year for our good pal Bigfoot. First, hunter and Sasquatch enthusiast Rick Dyer claimed to have bagged himself a Bigfoot, which he's currently showing off and even taking on tour across America. Now, over in Canada, a family believes that they caught themselves a Bigfoot of their own, though it's only video footage they've got to show, rather than a carcass.

The video, which was posted over on Ghost Theory last week, shows the family going out for a walk in the snowy woods of Calgary, when they suddenly spot something very strange across the river from where they're standing. "That's not human," the young daughters keep repeating, and the video indeed does appear to show some sort of creature that certainly doesn't look like any human being I've ever come across.

Check out the video of the alleged sighting below, and then leave a comment and let us know if you think this is legit, or just another hoax!

CRYPTOLINK: Teen blames Bigfoot for crash

FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKBN) – A Columbiana teen says he crashed his car last week trying to avoid Bigfoot.
Robert James Sevenich, 17, told a trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol that he spotted Bigfoot at the side of the road about 2:55 a.m. on Jan. 28, which caused him to hit the accelerator and crash his car into a ditch.
According to Sgt. Ron Cox, Sevenich was at a stop sign at the intersection of Bunker Hill Road and Crestview Road in Fairfield Township when he spotted the “creature” standing near the stop sign.
“He looked to his right and saw what he thought was the Bigfoot creature standing there,” said Cox. “He accelerated quickly and hit the ditch on the left side of the road.”
The trooper that responded to the crash searched the area for footprints but didn’t find anything.
Sevenich was not injured. He was charged with failure to control his vehicle

CRYPTOLINK: Texas Parks and Wildlife: Bigfoot Hunting is Legal

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me. 


Rick Dyer created a stir when he claimed to have shot Bigfoot on the northwest side of San Antonio, Texas, in 2012.

While doubts remain on whether it is the real thing or a modern day Cardiff Giant, one of the many questions about his dubious claim has been answered unequivocally: Is shooting Bigfoot even legal?
“We don't acknowledge that [Bigfoot] exists. But if you wanted to shoot and kill a Bigfoot in the state of Texas, you would just need a hunting license,” said Major Larry Young, game warden with Texas Parks and Wildlife. 
Dyer says he has DNA and body scans to prove that Bigfoot is real. He has also released pictures of the creature and plans on taking it on tour this winter, charging a fee to see it.
