Owls have always been associated with ghosts, Halloween, and Horror movies. In history, owls were believed to be bad luck and people tried to avoid them at all costs on the street. In order to fight off the bad luck that came from the sight of an owl, a person would turn their clothes inside out to ward off any negative vibes. i found this on the web.

Owls are also associated with wisdom which most people consider a good thing to have. A lot of how you perceive certain creatures could be based in a) your religious beliefs, b) how superstitious you are, c) if you have a fear of that animal, etc. Personally I find owls to be fascinating creatures and not at all bad luck.

In many cultures, owls are considered symbols of wisdom and guidance rather than bad luck. While some may view hearing an owl as a negative omen, it's important to remember that superstitions can vary widely and are not universal. Ultimately, the significance of hearing an owl depends on personal beliefs and cultural traditions.
