Spooky Animals
-
Owl
The distinct hoot of the nocturnal owl can make a dark night seem spooky. This bird has long been connected to Halloween superstitions surrounding ghosts, death and wizardry.
-
Spider
Spiders and their webs have long been used to scare up a good time on Halloween. Many people decorate with fake spider webs to give a fright, but if you should walk into a real one ... just shake it off. Chances are the spider is harmless.
-
Toad
Toads with their warts and slimy skin are known to be a main ingredient in Witch's Brew.
-
Bat
Some people believe bats are really vampires, but that superstition is silly. Only a few bats drink blood and they feast on insects, not humans.
-
Black Cat
Many people believe it's bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. This friendly feline is often seen as a witch's sidekick during Halloween. Black cats do make purr-fect pets!
-
Ravens and Crows
These black birds eat carrion (dead animals) so they have earned their reputation of always being around death.
