31 Days of Monsters 2014: The Owlman of Cornwall


In 1976, two sisters were walking through the woods near a cemetery in Cornwall when they spotted a large owl-like creature hovering in the air over a church. After their story became known, more sighting happened around the region with details added by keen-eyed, or perhaps, more imaginative "witnesses". Noted hoaxer, Tony "Doc" Shiels' involvement in the early reports make many skeptics believe the Owlman is nothing but a prank. The whole story would have died out completely, but in recent years, sightings of the creature have begun again in Cornwall. Is Shiels behind the recent sightings, or is there really a large humanoid raptor lurking in the forests and fields os Cornwall?
