An escaped eagle-owl? A clever hoax? Or is this a fascinating example of how folklore, eyewitness testimony, and media can combine to create a modern legend?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>WTAF Paranormal Case Files</strong>, Anne and Renata dive into one of the strangest cases to come out of the UK, exploring the history, the witnesses, the investigation, and the evidence before giving their own WTAF verdict.</p><p>Together they examine:</p><p>• The original 1976 sightings at St Mawnan Church</p><p>• Later eyewitness encounters</p><p>• Tony \"Doc\" Shiels and the spread of the Owlman legend</p><p>• The role of folklore and media influence</p><p>• The psychology of eyewitness testimony</p><p>• The most likely explanations... and the details that still refuse to fit neatly into any one theory</p><p><strong>Please note:</strong> <em>WTAF Paranormal Case Files</em> is the audio from our live YouTube show.
