On April 17, 1976 Owlman made his frightening debut.
Two young girls, Vicky and June Melling, saw him hovering above a church in a village in Mawnan, England.
And they described him as a feathered-bird man. It had pointed ears, glowing red eyes and large crab claws for feet.
It was seen again on July 3 by two other young girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry. Big as a man with glowing eyes and pincer-like claws.
Sparse sightings of Owlman in and around that village church continued through the 70s, 80s and 90s.
In June of 2020 a husband and wife said while driving on Kirchoff Road in Rolling Meadows, Illinois USA, they saw a creature as big as an SUV with large massive wings they described as an owl man.
Now I’m not a believer in an Owlman, but I find these stories fascinating and a fun distraction from the routines of everyday life.
Of course, it might be that cryptids like Owlman are real and appear and disappear in dimensions inaccessible to us. Bigfoot, for example, could be an interdimensional creature when hunters who allege to have seen him say when they shot at him he vanished.
Cryptids, real or unreal, monsters or imaginations, I’ve never seen any of them.
I’ve seen enough monsters among men.
