Off coast, Bude

Out in the choppy waters off Bude's coast, a strange creature has been spotted lurking beneath the surface. In October 1883 and again in October 1911, the vicar of the local parish reported a mysterious sea serpent gliding through the waves at a pace of around 25 miles per hour. As it moved through the water, it left behind an oily wake that glistened in the sunlight. The sightings were notable for their speed and the trail of oil that followed the creature.

, RAF Cleave

RAF Cleave was a flurry of activity during World War II, with WAAF huts bustling with personnel. But it wasnt just the living who made their presence known. The base was said to be haunted by strange knocking sounds that seemed to emanate from nowhere in particular. Armed guards were tasked with tracking down the source of the noise but they were unable to pinpoint it. The sounds were loud enough to be a nuisance but they didnt seem to be malevolent. They simply started one day and stopped a few weeks later, leaving behind a mystery that has become a footnote in the history of paranormal activity in Cornwall.
