The Owl
This bird’s dismal and persistent screeching near an abode also foretold the death of an inmate of that house.
A Solitary Crow
The cawing of a solitary crow on a tree near a house indicates a death in that house.
The Dog’s Howl
A dog howling on the doorsteps or at the entrance of a house also foretold death. The noise was that peculiar howling noise which dogs sometimes make. It was in Welsh called yn udo, or crying.
