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.

ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, October 11...

1973: Fishermen Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claim they were abducted by aliens at Pascagoula, Mississippi, held "conscious but paralyzed" aboard a UFO and subjected to examinations before their eventual release. Hickson later passes a controversial polygraph test. Professional debunker Joe Nickell calls that Hickson's behavior was "questionable" and claims he embellished his story on later television shows, blaming the original incident on a fantasy during a "waking dream state."
