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.

HOG-KILLING VARMINT

In 1948 this creature was reported y farmers in Indiana.  It was also seen by Police Officer L. Daniels, who said it looked like something out of a horror film.  It had long legs, a big head with pointed ears and small eyes.  Insofar as we are aware, it has never been identified.


Let us go back to 1879.  Then a huge snake, 34 feet 3 inches long, pursued a hapless wayfarer called Daniel Rishel.  The snake had horns or tentacles.  Luckily, Rishel chanced upon a scythe with which he chopped off a horn (or tentacle).  The monster then became stuck on the prongs of a reaping machine, enabling Rishel to despatch it.


H'm, Indiana sound a dangerous place.
