Owlman of Mawnan
About this episode
This episode explores the Owlman of Mawnan, a mysterious cryptid with a history of sightings and bizarre occurrences in Cornwall.
Owlman of Mawnan | Paranormal Podcast #owlmanofmawnan This week, we took a deep dive into one of Britain's most compelling cryptid mysteries this episode: the Owlman of Mawnan, a gray-feathered, red-eyed, man-sized winged humanoid that's been terrorizing the woods near a 13th century Cornish church since the 1970s, and somehow keeps showing up specifically in front of young women. We walked through the most popular documented sighting, got into the bizarre cluster of paranormal weirdness happening across Cornwall during that era — dolphin attacks, teleporting cattle, birds beating themselves to death against walls — and explored some genuinely fascinating theories about what this thing actually is. It's got shades of Mothman, it's got a possible poltergeist connection, it's got a surrealist artist who died 16 days before the first sighting and painted almost the exact scene years earlier, and more! 🛸 Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon. 🛸 Have a paranormal encounter or story you'd like told on the podcast?
