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.
TREES AND MARRIAGE
This curious custom grabbed my attention. In America in days gone by, when a couple married two trees were planted outside their house. One was called the Husband Tree, the other the Wife Tree. Where this custom originated I have yet to discover. One wonders what happened to the trees if the couple was divorced, though divorces were probably a good deal scarcer back then.
