The chilling mystery of the Cornish Owlman, a winged humanoid haunting Mawnan, Cornwall.

Explore vivid witness sketches, from the Melling sisters’ 1976 encounter to later sightings, revealing a creature with glowing eyes, standing 6ft tall with clawed feet. Join our conversation with Fortean enthusiast Sarah Pilkington as we unravel the social dynamics of a small village gripped by fear, the psychological underpinnings of these eerie accounts, and the psychedelic 1960s–70s era that shaped them.

Plus, uncover a bizarre historical surreal twist: a turn-of-the-century events in Cornwall invoking an avian bird-god, Lop Lop, in the very same area of the Owlman’s emergence. Is this cryptid a misidentified owl, a supernatural entity, or something far stranger? Tune in for a spine-tingling blend of folklore, psychology, and occult history!

Why are bird- headed gods and beings, so replete throughout the world with similar characteristics, is there something tangible at the centre of this mystery?

Hosted and presented by Caroline McKendrick - Gibson and Kristian Lander.
