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.

BEAST OF BOARDMAN

The vicinity of Boardman, North Carolina, was visited by a strange creature in 1914.  None could identify it.  It was encountered by a coon hunter named Britt.  The animal was pursued by the latter's dogs until eventually it took refuge in a tree.  Britt opened fire and the creature, still alive. fell to the ground, where it was set upon by the hunter's dogs.  It put up quite a fight, killing  three of them with "slaps" before its life was extinguished.  

The animal was said to be larger than a dog.  Its hair hung over its eyes.  What it was, nobody who saw its remains could guess.  Neither can I.
