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.

SPEARFINGER

A stone woman in the folklore of the Cherokee (Cherokee Ht'lun'ta) ,  she was to be found in Tennessee and North Carolina.    She would pierce a man with her fingernails and, once he was dead, she would eat his liver.  She generally appeared like an old woman, but it should be borne in mind that she was a shapeshifter.
