Cryptid... Owl Man... A Cornish Nightmare... #shorts

In Cornwall, England is the village of Mawnan. But beyond its idyllic charm lies a tale of mystery and intrigue - the legend of the Owl Man. For decades, locals and visitors have been haunted by sightings and stories of this enigmatic creature lingering around the cliffs and woods of this coastal region.
The origins of the Owl Man legend can be traced back to the spring of 1976 when two young girls reported encountering a strange, owl-like being with piercing red eyes near the village's churchyard. Their accounts sparked a flurry of interest and subsequent sightings, with witnesses describing a humanoid figure with wings, towering over six feet tall, and emitting an eerie screech reminiscent of an owl's cry.
Despite scepticism the Owl Man legend rolls on, with sporadic sightings reported over the years, often accompanied by a sense of foreboding and unease. Some believe it to be a supernatural entity, while others speculate it could be a misidentified bird or an elaborate hoax.
Local folklore intertwines the Owl Man with tales of ancient curses and supernatural phenomena, adding layers of mystique to the already intriguing narrative. Speculations abound, ranging from the creature being a harbinger of doom to a guardian spirit of the land.
Researchers and enthusiasts have attempted to unravel the mystery behind the Owl Man, with theories ranging from paranormal explanations to more mundane possibilities such as mistaken identities or psychological factors influencing perceptions. However, conclusive evidence remains elusive, adding to the attraction of the legend.

My word, this seems similar to the mothman of West Virginia, a very bizarre mystery that seemed to be a harbinger for a bridge collapse that killed many. Wonder if it showed up in Baltimore before our recent bridge collapse 🤔
