Cornish Owlman Sightings

Near church, Mawnan, Cornwall Cryptozoology Unknown

Deep in Cornwall's picturesque countryside, near the quaint village of Mawnan, a strange and unsettling phenomenon has been reported. The Cornish Owlman, a creature described as a giant owl with glowing red eyes and pincers for feet, has been seen lurking in the shadows. This bizarre sighting first occurred on 17 April 1976 and has been repeated over the years, with multiple teenage or younger girls claiming to have caught a glimpse of the creature.

Historical records of the area reveal that Mawnan has a rich and varied past, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. While there is no clear connection between the Owlman sightings and the village's history, it is interesting to note that the creature has been seen near the local church, a building that has stood for centuries. Witness accounts describe the creature as man-sized, with glowing red eyes that seem to pierce through the darkness. The fact that multiple witnesses, all of whom were young girls at the time, reported similar sightings lends credibility to the claims.

Kerris Cursed Hill Fort

Kerris Roundago, Kerris

Kerris Roundago, a once prominent Iron Age hill fort, now lies in ruin. Its stones were quarried for a noble cause - to repair Penzance pier.

It was as if the land itself had placed a curse on the endeavour. The fort's history is shrouded in mystery, but this series of unexplained equine deaths has become an integral part of its haunting legacy.
