As a child, Scottish filmmaker Lawrie Brewster was fascinated by the Owl Man<\/a>, a Cornish cryptid who seems like a cross between the Moth Man and Slenderman. The Owl Man features in his new movie, Lord of Tears<\/a>, and as a promotional stunt they dressed someone up in an Owl Man costume and sent him to lurk around a creepy, abandoned children’s hospital. “Urban explorers” venturing into the hospital to take photos or poke around found themselves confronted by the creature, and their reactions were caught by hidden cameras.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to decide how I feel about this. On the one hand, if you’re wandering around an abandoned Victorian hospital it’s presumably with the intention of being mildly creeped out, and bingo! These people hit the jackpot.<\/p>\n
