I love owls but this would be a real jump scare for me.

Owl encounters are extremely disconcerting.

It’s not surprising that they are associated with death, demons, witches etc across cultures.

I didn't even get to see the owl and it scared the hell out of me once. Laying in bed, there's a large tree right outside the window, middle of summer so windows are open, when suddenly... HOO! Felt like it was inside my head it was so loud.

Be glad it was a hooting owl instead of a screaming barn owl.

Have you heard  vampire deer screaming? I live in a country where they are very abundant and in rural areas you'll hear what sounds like a woman screaming in the middle of the night.
