Initial data
Two 14-year-old girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry, were staying overnight near mount Church when they heard a hiss. Then they saw, 20 yards away (18 m), a strange figure standing among the pines.
"It looked like a large owl with pointed ears, the size of a man. His eyes were red and glowing."
Both girls thought that it was someone dressed up, trying to scare them, and laughed about it. Then it flew up into the air, and they saw that its legs were like black claws. Its feathers were gray.

Two 14-year old girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry, were camping out for the night not far from the church of Mawnan when they heard a hissing sound; then they saw, 20 yards away, a strange figure standing among the pine trees. “It was like a big owl with pointed ears, as big as a man. Its eyes were red & glowing.” Both girls thought it was someone dressed up trying to scare them, and laughed at it. Then it flew up in the air, and they could see that its feet were like black pincers. Its feathers were gray.
