Last year I had an owl show up at my house 3 nights in a row.. We never see owls in the city and this was really strange and sort of freaked me out. I had just stepped out onto the back deck for a smoke when this huge thing came out of nowhere and landed on top of our patio swing 3 feet from me. Was dark out and when it was coming at me I didn't know what the hell it was! My dog was sitting there just staring and didn't even move a muscle.. thing looked at me said "who, who who" and left.. Came back the next two nights.. Landed in a near bye tree and on the fence the next then never saw it again.

Anyhow, a few weeks later my best friend of 20 years who had been fighting cancer lost her battle. Truly believe to this day that owl was there to let me know that her time was coming.. Will never forget it.
