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, September 18...

We take a break from honest Forteana to prove that very little changes over time...

1789: The new U.S. government takes out its first loan to pay the salaries of Congress and the president.

1885: Riots break out in Montreal, Québec, against compulsory smallpox vaccination.

1945: One thousand white students walk out of Gary, Indiana's public schools to protest racial integration.

Do humans ever learn from history?
