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...

CRYPTOLINK: Bigfoot sighting in area

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. This post, however, is particularly interesting and the author should be congratulated...

MENOMINEE - Anyone who says there's nothing exciting going on in Menominee probably hasn't been paying close attention. There have been numerous reports of ghostly apparitions on 1st Street, brooms that stand up on their own and now perhaps the biggest story of all, a report of a Bigfoot sighting.

Bigfoot (noun) a large, hairy, apelike creature resembling a yeti, supposedly found in northwestern America. Also called Sasquatch.

Rewind the calendar to March of 2012. Craig Sulk of Menominee had several game cameras strategically placed around his wooded property. Sometime in May he retrieved the digital camera cards and started looking through the photos. When Sulk looked at the photos again over this past winter he discovered a unique three-frame sequence.

"The middle picture, there was something. I said, 'a squatch!' and we laughed," he recalled. "This is something. It's not just a shadow or a branch or a bear. Something is in that picture that doesn't belong."

Sulk pulled together a couple family members and friends and headed to the spot in the woods where the object was photographed to get an idea of just how big it was.

"I put Barb there and took a bunch of pictures with a digital camera," he said. "We came back to look at the pictures on the computer and dammit if this thing wasn't bigger than her." Barb is Sulk's wife and she stands 5 feet 8 inches tall.

If the object photographed really was a Bigfoot, the Sulks wanted to know for sure, so they turned to the experts from the TV show "Finding Bigfoot" which airs on Animal Planet, a satellite television channel owned by Discovery Communications.
