The Owls Are Not What They Seem

Owls have long had their place in esoteric symbolism, but when was the last time you heard about them actually getting up to weird stuff? On this episode we dive into stories of exactly that - owls will change form in front of someone's eyes, occupy 2/3 of a tree, and terrify children in the night. As the man once said, "the owls are not what they seem." Also on this episode: bath bomb buddies, spider dreams, and whistles in the dark.
