There are many animals across diverse cultures associated with all that is dark and mysterious. Ask any kid here in Maine, they can probably list the usual suspects of spooky critters that are appropriate for a Halloween scene. Bats and black cats are two popular choices, but they are not the only animals linked with the occult.
Let’s consider the raven. Edgar Allen Poe, in his classic “The Raven,” described that bird as “ghastly grim and ancient…wandering from the nightly shore.” He goes on to label the raven as a “grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore.” Perhaps their predominantly scavenging nature and inky black color have led to ravens having a supernatural association.
