My Mum was from Romania, so I got a lot of her and her Mum's
superstitions, and beliefs which were passed down from relative to
relative for many years. Eastern Europeans believe in ESP, superstitions, signs of ominous death in the future, etc....
The black raven or crow is the sign for approaching death. Weird, but it is supposed to be.
As an adult, I now rem. with maturity when a situation like this happens, but usually keep it private.
I attempted to get the mail on the early am of 8/15/2006, but could NOT get on the porch to walk out ! My ENTIRE front porch was filled with crows. Big crows, making all kinds of noise !
I cared for my 89 year old Mother, in our home. I went upstairs to
get her up and drwssed for the day ahead. She did not feel well.
I had the Dr. look at her, and there was nothing obvious that needed attention. My Mum saw all of the crows when I brought her downstairs to breakfast. One TRIED to get into the front picture window. My Mum saw it and said many Hail Mary's at the table.
She ASKED me IF I was going to be allright, because I HAD TO BE ?
After a while she went upstairs for a rest, and TV viewing, and 12 45 pm I went to check on her for lunch, and my Mum died in her sleep......
