The Owlman
In 1976 the area around Mawnan in Cornwall was gripped by a wave of weird activity – UFOs, animal attacks and a Morgawr sighting.
The most enduring tale of that summer came from holidaymaker Don Melling. His two daughters saw a terrifying creature hovering over Mawnan church and so perturbed were they by this encounter that they cut short their holiday and fled. The creature they described was The Owlman. Several more sightings were reported that summer and more have been made in the years since. The creature fits the description of an eagle owl – they can grow up to 2ft tall and have a massive 6ft wingspan. They are not native to the UK, but our country is full of naturalised escapee animals (including wallabies, wild boar and various species of deer) and eagle owls are kept in aviaries here.
Plausible, yes, but eagle owls aren’t as tall as people, nor do they have glowing eyes…
