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.
GALVESTON MONSTER

Galveston Map

This is the sea off Galveston (Texas) out of where we have dug an interesting sea-monster account from our files. It seems that, in 1872, the crew of the good ship St Olaf beheld a creature in this vicinity. What it was they could not guess. It seemed to be in pursuit of some sharks. It had a head resembling that of a snake. It was estimated at being 70' or 2im in length, with a body of uniform thickness. Its back was of a greenish hue, with brown spots, while its underparts were white. It had four dorsal fins.
As we know so little of the depths of the sea and what grim creatures tenant them, we can be fairly certain this is no known animal and its identity may remain forever outside the gamut of human knowledge.
