Cryptozoology, literally means the study of hidden animals. Those creatures unknown to science, or surviving pre-historic relics.
But what of those animals so pointless, so worthless, so......CRAP that science just doesn't want to know, and remain hidden more from a sense of acute embarrasment than anything else?
Welcome to the shadowy world of Craptozoology.
In the 1970's and through until 1995 in the village of Mawnan, Cornwall a ghostly being with 'Glowing eyes, pointed ears and wings that in shape resembled a man-sized owl' was seen.
In the spring of 2009 some bloke form a surf-shop in Bude reported seeing a huge owl, swigging from a jug of scrumpy ( incredibly strong, alcoholic home-brewed apple cider ), leaning against a wall coughing up owl-pellets (one of which contained several large bones and the collar of a labra-doodle reported missing 4 days previously) and squawking "Pinta hweg yw hemma, yeghes da! Proper job! Rydhsys rag Kernow lemmyn!". Serious craptozoologists have pointed out that this 'sighting' took place after last orders....
Theories as to just what the Owlman of Kernow actually is vary.
One theory is that a well-known food manufacturer invested in genetic engineering to create a creature that can puke up owl-pellets as cheap filling for petrol-station Cornish Pasties.
A second, put about by a white-haired senior druid and part-time king of Cornwall is that it's a suit being worn by and english landlord in a convoluted attempt to ruin any attempts for Cornish independance, and said landlord 'would've got away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids'.
