At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD



On This Day in Weird, July 5...

1912: The captain and crew of the German vessel Kaiserin Auguste Victoria report a sea-serpent sighting off Prawle Point, South Devon, England. They described the creature as 20 feet long and 12 to 18 inches in diameter.



1949: Witness Harold Wilkins and an unnamed companion see "two remarkable saurians," each 15 to 20 feet long, with green heads, chasing a shoal of fish up the tidal creek of East Looe, Cornwall, England. Wilkins compares the animals to prehistoric plesiosaurs.
