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.

GHOST ELK

A spectral beast seen by the Laird of  Ardblair, Scotland. in modern times.  His wife also had a sighting.  His first impression was that it was like an American moose - actually the European elk is identical with the American moose and is known to have roamed Scotland until about the year 1300.  Could there be a few surviving?  He also entertained the impression that it could have been a Great Irish Elk - an extinct creature which was in fact no elk but a deer and whose range as far from confined to Ireland.  To add to the confusion, in America the term elk is applied to the wapiti.
