Owls
Throughout history, owls have been linked to witchcraft and the supernatural.
For instance, ancient Romans believed the birds could predict someone’s death, while many Native American cultures also affiliate owls with death and the afterlife.
Their big, round eyes, haunting hoots, and nocturnal activity just scream Halloween.
Rats
These furry little creatures are constantly depicted in the context of death, decay, and disease. This is likely due to their role in spreading the Black Death in the 14th century.
To this day, the rodents still give people the creepy-crawlies even though they can make great pets.
