Owls Superstitions...believe or not?

 

 

Just a thought after my uncle asked me to look or search about owls..It's just at our time,year and generation, do you guys still believe in superstitions? especially about owls?...bad omens etc?

 

Here's some superstitions associated with owls i red:

-- If an owl lands on the roof of your house, it is an omen of death. Constant hooting near your house also foretells death.

 

-- If an owl hoots at the moment of childbirth, the child will have an unhappy life.

 

-- The Irish believe that if an owl flies into a house it must be killed immediately. If it escapes, it will take the luck of the house with it.

 

-- If an owl nests in an abandoned house, then the dwelling must be haunted. An owl is the only creature who can abide a ghost.

 

-- By eating salted owl, a person can be cured of gout.

 

-- If an owl hoots during a burial service, the deceased is bound to rise from the grave and haunt the living.

 

-- An owl living in the attic of a house will cause a pregnant woman to miscarry.

 

-- If a pregnant woman hears the shriek of an owl, her child will be a girl.

 

So what do you guys think?...as for me i know we can't tell if it were true or not, but i think praying is always the answers to everything... It's just making us cautious and all...but it's still scary to be honest...

Oh my poor owlie, don't worry mommy still loves your big eyes and 180 degrees head...i had an owl trapped in an empty aquarium outside my house and the first person who spotted it was me. It fled away after we on the lights probably scared and my dad still got his lottery prize after that. I think owls had landed on my rooftop more than hundred times and the most death happens because of my mom slaughtered her chicken for soup and my lost cat probably eaten by snakes. AND i don't like that last sentence...Do they mean that woman/girl brings bad luck to her family? What nonsense are they trying to emphasize here? Girls/Ladies shouldn't exist on earth?

I've not seen an owl too...but I've seen vultures...and when they appear...it means bad omen...
A vulture landed on my neighbour's roof...and 2 days later...I heard that someone in the neighborhood died...
