They cannot rest until they feed.<br /><br />But what—or who—is on the menu?<br /><br />North American aborigines knew them by sight and reputation, fearsome hunters prone to dine on men and kidnap women. Long before the first pale Europeans trespassed in the New World, Native tribes described the forest-dwellers as cannibals—a term without meaning, unless both predator and prey were human beings. Native legends speak of brutal wars between tribesmen and “cannibal giants,” an early form of ethnic cleansing from which only one side could emerge victorious.<br />But are the stories true?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/When-Bigfoot-Attacks-Michael-Newton/dp/1905723695/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310034943&sr=8-1">Buy it on Amazon.co.uk</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/When-Bigfoot-Attacks-Michael-Newton/dp/1905723695/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310035272&sr=8-1">Buy it on Amazon.com</a><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268448261022430169.post-75305190187351879942011-06-16T22:40:00.000+01:002011-06-16T22:41:20.274+01:00WEIRD WATERS: The Lake and Sea Monsters of Scandinavia and the Baltic States<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggPkEVCaZ3PWL5NdKaBezxDXCaeP0azUHPInX-5qz7aB95vHD1UK1AsP8FG7qNx9FuASpU9MMg7calY-uCOu43MbUcCEEcooMxyVEfaw5pvt-ZokbIoiM4ud2_c8-HdzWJoxrqRtrL_yaW/s1600/cover.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 264px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618929126672062610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggPkEVCaZ3PWL5NdKaBezxDXCaeP0azUHPInX-5qz7aB95vHD1UK1AsP8FG7qNx9FuASpU9MMg7calY-uCOu43MbUcCEEcooMxyVEfaw5pvt-ZokbIoiM4ud2_c8-HdzWJoxrqRtrL_yaW/s400/cover.jpg" /></a><em>WEIRD WATERS: The Lake and Sea Monsters of Scandinavia and the Baltic States </em><br /><br />by Lars Thomas<br /><br /><br />The curse of Fortean research is the language barrier.

<div>For 100 years, from the mid-19th Century, natural history was the premier British hobby. Over the last 50 years it has declined in popularity for a number of reasons, most notably that killing living creatures for a hobby is quite rightly no longer seen as ethical. With the technological advances of the 21st Century, however, everything has changed. With a digital camera one can have a butterfly collection for example, and with the advent of cheap air travel, places once only accessible by the Gerald Durrells of this world, can be visited by everybody. Suddenly, the amateur naturalist can come into his, or her, own, and there has never been a better time for people to get involved. Amateur naturalists across the world are carrying out valuable research, and participating in essential breeding programmes. If you are interested, this magazine is for you. <br />

Neil Arnold is Kent’s only monster-hunter. He runs Kent Big Cat Research, the county’s only research into large, exotic cats roaming the wilds, he is the author of <em>Monster! The A-Z Of Zooform Phenomena</em>, which he describes as “National Geographic meets Marc Bolan”, which was named the 2007 Fortean Zoology Book Of The<br />
Year by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman.<br />
<br />
He has an obsession with misty graveyards, vamp-a-go-go women, the films of David Lynch, glam-rock<br />
and ‘60s culture, a true dedicated follower of fashion whose surreal safaris have enabled him to appear on national television and international radio, give lectures on his expeditions and research, and encounter all manner of weird and wonderful beasts and characters, from Satanists, to rock stars, and from alleged vampiresto big cats.<br />
<br />
He lives opposite a haunted castle in Rochester, Kent,with his girlfriend Jemma.<br />
<br />
Since a very young age he has collated evidence of strange, and mysterious creatures roaming Kent and the surrounding areas. He believes in monsters more than he does himself.<br />

People from all walks of life encounter these mysterious felines on a daily basis in every nook and cranny of these two countries. Most are jet-black, some are white, some are brown, in fact big cats of every description and colour are seen by some unsuspecting person while on his or her daily business. `Big Cats in Britain` are the largest and most active group in the British Isles and Ireland. These books contain a run-down of every known big cat sighting in the UK during the specific year, together with essays by various luminaries of the British big cat research community which place the phenomenon into scientific, cultural, and historical perspective.<br />

<br />

Often called Thomas Hardy's Wessex, Dorset is noted for its beauty, and even more so for its variety, almost every kind of coastal scenery that England possesses can be found some where within its compass, while inland the variety is maintained with rich pastures, undulating downs, picture postcard villages, barren heaths and ancient monuments. Dorset is steeped in history, folklore and legend, much of which is mysterious and dark.<br />
<br />
This extensively illustrated compendium has over 400 tales and references making this book by far one of the best in its field. <em>Dark Dorset Tales of Mystery, Wonder and Terror</em> has been thoroughly researched, and includes many new entries and up to date information never before published. The title of the book speaks for its self, and is indeed not for the faint hearted or those easily shocked. Any readers brave enough will find themselves touring a county full of sinister hauntings, decaying body parts, spellbinding witchcraft, malevolent fairies, gruesome murders, spectral black dogs, phantom armies, headless ghosts, flickering will o' wisps, strange phenomena, sea monsters, peculiar customs and superstitions, big cats, bewitching nymphets, the magical enchantment of conjurors and witches, uncanny events, death, destruction and the Devil himself, not to mention a horrific history few other counties can boast. The reader can't help but be plunged into a sense of foreboding despair!<br />

It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is the only professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals.<br /><br />Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. We have carried out expeditions to Sumatra (2003 and 2004), Mongolia (2005), Puerto Rico (1998 and 2004), Mexico (1998), Thailand (2000), Florida (1998), Nevada (1999 and 2003), Texas (2003 and 2004), and Illinois (2004).<br /><br />Since 1994 we have been publishing the world's only dedicated cryptozoology magazine <em>Animals & Men. </em>These collected editions include five fascimile issues of the magazine together with an introductory essay by Jonathan Downes, notes putting each issue into a historical perspective, and a history of the CFZ.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Animals-Men-Beginning-Jonathan-Downes/dp/0951287265/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308250865&sr=1-1">IN THE BEGINNING: Issues 1-5 (Volume One)</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Animals-Men-Issues-Number-Beast/dp/1905723067/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308251349&sr=1-3">THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST: Issue 6-10 (Volume Two)</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Animals-Men-Issues-Call-Wild/dp/1905723075/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308251615&sr=1-4">CALL OF THE WILD: Issues 11-15 (Volume Three)</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Horizons-Animals-Collected-Editions/dp/1905723563/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1308251349&sr=1-1">NEW HORIZONS: Issues 16-20 (Volume Four)</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268448261022430169.post-40237021813609136692011-06-16T19:58:00.000+01:002011-06-16T20:17:28.547+01:00CFZ YEARBOOKSThe Centre for Fortean Zoology Yearbook is an annual collection of papers and essays too long and detailed for publication in the CFZ Journal, <em>Animals & Men</em>.

Even the most celebrated of today’s Fortean writers worked their way up through obscure and often now defunct magazines. Much of the early writings of such people are long forgotten and thought lost which is why CFZ Press is proud to present its new line of collected writings from some of the finest writers in the field.<br />
<br />
Most of these writings have never see the light of day, being unpublished or lost works whilst other have been lost to the mists of time. Now, for the first time they have been brought together.<br />
<br />
Early essay and articles by such luminaries as Andy Roberts, Nick Redfern and Paul Screeton are already available, and coming collections include the writings of Lars Thomas, Ronan Coghlan and Richard Freeman.<br />
<br />
The collected writings series is a must for the serious student of Forteana and an intriguing look at the beginning of the writers’ careers. Turn back the clocks and enjoy the vintage weirdness.<br />
