In the summer of 1976 the thick forests surrounding Mabanckou old Church in southern Cornwall, are home to strange creatures. Most of the witnesses described the animal as almost human in size. He had a pair of large feathered wings, shiny red eyes, clawed paws. It seemed that it gave off a menacing dark air.

One of the witnesses, Jane Greenwood, wrote in the Falmouth Packet:

"I'm on vacation in Cornwall with my sister and our mother. I also saw a large bird. It was Sunday morning. He was in the trees near the Church in Mawnan, over the rocky beach. He looked like a grown man, but his legs bent backward, like a bird. He saw us and quickly jumped and climbed directly into a tree. How could he come up?"

Original news

It was in the summer of 1976 that the thick woods surrounding Mawnan Old Church, Cornwall, became a beacon of activity for a bizarre creature that became known as the Owlman. Most of the witnesses described the beast as being near-human in size, that it possessed a pair of large, feathery wings, glowing red eyes, claw-like appendages, and that it seemed to exude a dark and brooding air of menace. One of the witnesses to the creature, Jane Greenwood, wrote thus to the local newspaper, the Falmouth Packet during that same summer: “I am on holiday in Cornwall with my sister and our mother. I, too, have seen a big bird-thing. It was Sunday morning, and the place was in the trees near Mawnan Church, above the rocky beach. It was in the trees standing like a full-grown man, but the legs bent backwards like a bird’s. It saw us, and quickly jumped up and rose straight up through the trees. How could it rise up like that?”
