Know Your Death Omens
Manage episode 327099738 series 2987312
Chris and Simon look at a supernatural category: the death omen, or token of death, as it is sometimes known in the 19th century. Almost anything could be a death omen; hundreds were recorded by folklorists. These could include phantom funerals, the banshee’s scream, mysterious knockings, seeing shrouds, and ghostly birds. Is there any explanation for such portents? And would you want to know if you were about to die?
