Myths Of Great Britain.

a bird not indigenous to the British Isles, there seems nothing to imply it has any connection to Cornish
legends.

The Mothman legend came to the forefront in 1966, but I've had trouble digging-up any stories before that
The Owlman story emerged 1976. If there is anything to bind them together, it won't be on the internet
and probably only found  books.


Here's the real-world explanation.
 
About six years ago I was out refilling the bird feeder. It was just before dusk. Suddenly the air grew cool, and it seemed to suddenly grow darker. I looked up, and I could tell that I had fallen in the shadow of something huge flying over my head.

It was big, and its wingspan completely covered me. My first thought ran back to all those old vampire movies I had seen growing up.

It became obvious after a short while that it was an owl, but I had never seen one that big. I jumped on the phone and called my neighbor. As soon as I started telling him about what I saw, he laughed and told me that he had been around for a while. 

I called two more neighbors and they told me the same thing. I asked why no one had said anything to me about the monster owl flying around. They assured me that they were quite common in our parts.

I can see how easily tales of an owl man or such can originate.

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not. 

Yet I still post.  tinyinlove
