North Devon is wierd - official!

5:50pm Wednesday 21st March 2007 in News By Jean Tilley

THIS summer the sleepy North Devon village of Woolfardisworthy will officially be the weirdest village in the land, as monster hunters from across the world converge there for the eighth annual 'Weird Weekend'.

The annual event, promoted by the Centre for Fortean Zoology CFZ, is the largest conference dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals - in the English-speaking world.

As well as lectures and workshops on the subject of cryptozoology, there are also lectures on a range of other subjects which people who attend the three day event find interesting, all delivered by some of the world's leading experts.

The event takes place in August for three days from the 17th.
