The Owlman Of Mawnan
In 1976, two children looked up at a church tower in Cornwall…
…and saw something that should not have been there.
Not quite a bird.
Not quite a man.
Not quite anything that belonged in daylight.
What followed became one of Britain’s strangest modern legends — a story of wings, woods, rumours, drawings, magicians, monsters, and a church that never quite shook off its shadow.
Was the Owlman of Mawnan a misidentified bird?
A hoax?
A piece of folklore given wings?
Or something stranger still?
This is a journey into one of Cornwall’s most unsettling mysteries — where the path runs through old trees, the tower waits above the Helford, and something may still be watching from the branches.
The Owlman of Mawnan.
Cornwall’s winged omen.
Written, narrated, edited and produced by David Goosey.
