Imagine sneaking into an abandoned hospital to have a wander, minding your own business, taking a few snaps…. then BAM.

You see this weirdo creeping towards you with long fingers and an enlarged feathered head – this is Owlman.

Some screamed, some cried and one man shrank to the floor clutching his face – shouting ‘no!’.


Others sprinted for their lives and probably never came back to the dilapidated Victorian St Mary’s hospital near Kirkaldy, Fife.

And their whole terrifying experience was captured on seven hidden cameras.

Wearing a dinner jacket, Owlman resembles something out of the classic tale of the Owl and the Pussycat gone seriously dark.



Owlman is the papier-mache, wire and feathers creation of filmmaker Lawrie Brewster, 33, from Fife, Scotland.

He told Mail Online: ‘As a child I loved eerie dramas of the supernatural and classic spine-tingling classics, such as Hammer Horror films like The Devil Rides Out and The Wicker Man.

‘The idea to create the Owlman was inspired by a terrifying god in the archives of ancient religion, related to the god Moloch.’
