Episode 7 of The Layton Files takes you deep into the eerie woods and churchyards of Mawnan, Cornwall, where locals have reported seeing a winged creature unlike anything else in Britain, the Owlman.
From the haunting 1970s sightings near the old church to chilling modern-day encounters pulled from the archives, these are true horror stories that blur the line between folklore and something far more real.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
