This is from the decedent of a Shawnee Native American chief
Shawnee Native American :Some tribes believe that the owl always brings bad omen. This is not so with my tribe. The owl brings a spiritual message. Sometimes it may mean death but not always. You have to count the hoots to determine the message.
One hoot was an omen of impending death
two meant success in anything that would be started soon after
three represented a woman being married into the family
four indicated a disturbance
five denoted coming travel
six meant guests were on the way
seven was a sign of mental distress
eight foretold sudden death
nine symbolized good fortune.
