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, April 15…

Income tax filing day in the USA. And speaking of disasters...

1912: The "unsinkable" RMS Titanic goes sinks with more than 1500 crew and passengers aboard, in the North Atlantic. While ostensible damaged by an iceberg, the great ship had also set sail from the UK with fires burning in its coal bunkers, fully acknowledged by its captain, but with the information suppressed.
