The seemingly sinister Boneless, a sluggish beast spotted over in Longdendale in the Peak District. Little is known about it outside of Davies' description, though perhaps that's for the best.

The Haunting Owlman of Mawnan

First reported in 1976 in the village of Mawnan, Cornwall, England the Owlman is a rare but terrifying creature. Very similar to the Mothman, the creature is a humanoid with wings and glowing red eyes. It also has pointed ears like an owl, pincer like claws and has a silvery grey color.

The first eyewitnesses were a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old girl who saw the creature flying above the church tower (pictured above) and ran to their father who then abruptly ended their holiday in the area to get away from the creature. The second encounter was by two teenage girls who were camping near the church. After hearing a hissing sound outside their tent, they went to investigate and witnessed it fly into the air as if they’d spooked it. There were multiple sightings the next day, and occasional and rare sightings in the years to follow with every single sighting taking place around the church.

So what is the Owlman, and why is it only seen around the church? Is it simply the Mothman these people are seeing? But if it’s the Mothman then where are the tragedies the harbinger is said to appear near? It’s a very interesting and one of the most rarely seen cryptids, but could these lack of sightings just be due to an elaborate hoax? Let me know what you think! Stay Curious!
