Owls and Ghosts

    Many superstitions from the beginning of known history surrounds the owl. It it said to be a creature of darkness, magic, and death. It is no wonder, then, that owls play a major role in our national holiday, Halloween (See ' The Owl and the Witch'). 
     One interesting myth of the owl, based on its link to darkness and death,  is that it can live among ghosts. Consequently, abandoned buildings with nesting owls within were believed to be haunted.  The Barn Owl whose nesting habitat is in old barns and buildings was often referred to as the Ghost Owl.
