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.

FAIRY SIGHTINGS

Elijah Cope (died 1917) at the beginning of the 29th Century, looked into some reports of interaction with Fairies in England.  He was told by an elderly lady that certain noises in her house were caused by a Fairy called Old Nancy.  


A Mrs Frith told Cope that her mother had watched Fairies dance in a meadow.  They had worn clothes of different colors.


A Mr Billing had told Cope he saw Fairies dancing in a ring.  He had also seen them around farm buildings.


I have been unable to access Cope's little book so far, but the above information is found in D. Pickford Staffordshire, its Magic and Mystery (1994).  Pickford had access to Cope's work.
