Farmer believes puma responsible for death of sheep

Image
A North Wales farmer has told the local press that he has lost 10 sheep since July from what he believes is a puma stalking his farm animals. He states that they are killed by a single distinctive bite to the neck and if the carcass is left more is taken away (presumably eaten by the same animal) over the next few days. The attacks were in the Beddgelert area of North Wales near Snowdonia. The exact location has been withheld due to fears hunters may try to go after the animal. The farmer has also said that a neighbour has had a ram killed and another neighbour (or possibly the same one as it us not stated) saw a large cat (about three times the size of a domestic cat) light brown in colour jump over a wall back in August.  This is not the first time this area of Wales has been subject to suspected big cat attacks as in 2015 the same area of Nantmor and Beddgelert. Where more sheep had been were lost (assume killed) and a witness reported seeing a mother puma with cubs! Area where a pu

Monolith found in the Utah Dessert

Image
A helicopter crew has found a large metal monolith in the middle of the Utah dessert. As yet no one has come forward to claim responsibility or to explain the reason for it being put there. The most likely explanation is an art instalation but one not granted by the federal government which would be needed as it is federal land. Other more outlandish suggestions are some kind of alien device or a demonic doorway.  Whatever it turns out to be it's nice to know there's still a little bit of strange out there.

The Owlman of Mawnan

Image
On the 17th April 1976 over St. Mawnan and St. Stephens church two young girls would see a creature that terrified them and would be the start of a still enduring mystery that would be named the Owlman of Mawnan. A very interesting story indeed and covered in detail by Jonathan Downes in his fantastic book The Owlman and Others.  Despite the obvious problems associated with all the testimonies from this case being recounted by one individual investigator especially one who is a known trickster (Tony 'Doc' Sheils). It makes for a great piece of local folklore. Outside of this point in time there is very limited historical lore for these sightings apart from some local news story from the 1920s. This makes me err on the side of an exotic escaped bird of prey or a large bird that had gotten lost. Interest was raised again recently when a YouTube video emerged purporting to be of the Owlman. However the video is of bad quality and at best shows a humanoid shap which does not really
