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...

KEN GERHARD INTERVIEW



The runaway success story with CFZ Press during the past few years has undoubtedly been Ken Gerhard's remarkably succesful book Big Bird. Here, in a multipart interview Ken discusses his cryptozoological research. As the blurb accompanying the interview says:


"Beginning with the Big Bird / Thunderbird phenomenon, the bird v. dinosaur debate, his multiple investigations into Bigfoot and Ken's odd discoveries while on Bigfoot expeditions, thoughts on theories surrounding government knowledge of the Bigfoot and speculate why the government might cover-up Bigfoot's existence, the kill Vs no kill debate, Bigfoot burying their dead and speculation on a post-discovered Bigfoot world.


Ken also tells of his trips to Belize to study the crytpids Sisemite (a Bigfoot-like animal), and Dwendi (a smaller, gnome-like being), and details his investigation into the Texas Chupacabras story of recent years. Also on topic is: We find out how Ken got interested in that specific realm of cryptozoology, ultimately deciding to write a book about the subject, the great state of Texas and how it seems to be a hotbed of paranormal and parapolitical activity, the 1976 Texas Big Bird (Thunderbird), wave and just what the Big Bird is claimed to be plus witnesses accounts of Big Bird sightings and how the creature is described, classic stories of dragons may be related to the Big Bird phenomenon - Africa's Kongamato and New Guinea's Ropen and much much more!"
