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.
CONAN DOYLE AND HORSE-RIPPING
Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was involved in an investigation of his own in true life. George Edalji had been convicted of horse ripping. From prison, he wrote to Conan Doyle asking him to prove his innocence.
All this took place in 1906. The case was the subject of a novel by Julian Barnes. An ITV television series in the UK, based on the novel,is about to commence on Monday, March 2nd. I am sure its screening in the USA will follow. Called Arthur and George, its first episode is to be broadcast at 9 p.m.
Horse ripping has in the past been blamed on Alien Big Cats, but I doubt they will feature in the story.
