In Act II Scene 3 we hear this conversation:

Lennox: The night has been unruly: where we lay,

Our chimneys were blown down; and, as they say,

Lamentings heard i' the air; strange screams of death,

And prophesying with accents terrible

Of dire combustion and confused events

New hatch'd to the woeful time: the obscure bird

Clamour'd the livelong night: some say, the earth

Was feverous and did shake.

Macbeth: "Twas a rough night.

In scene 4 the stories get wilder.

Ross: Is't night's predominance, or the day's shame,

That darkness does the face of earth entomb,

When living light should kiss it?

Old Man: 'Tis unnatural,

Even like the deed that's done. On Tuesday last,

A falcon, towering in her pride of place,

Was by a mousing owl hawk'd at and kill'd.

Ross: And Duncan's horses--a thing most strange and certain--

Beauteous and swift, the minions of their race,

Turn'd wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out,

Contending 'gainst obedience, as they would make

War with mankind.

Old Man: "Tis said they eat each other.

So there you have it: Winds so strong they blow chimneys down, making weird screaming noises, earthquakes, darkness during the daytime, birds singing at night who don't usually, owls killing hawks, and horses breaking out of their stalls. And eating each other, 'tis said.
