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.

YE EDITOR ON TV

I see that the Canadian series Boogeyman: Monsters Among Us  is now available on Amazon Prime.  Ye Editor features considerably in the episode Dobhar Chu, dealing with an Irish cryptid of fierce repute.  I remember making the episode a couple of years back in the wilds of the West of Ireland, on a lake on an island said to be tenanted by one of these creatures.

Ye Editor looking serious.
