21 Bad Omens That Tell You Death Is Near
Death is often a subject that is avoided by humans because it’s uncomfortable to think about the inevitable. Not many people want to think about the eerily unknown afterlife or the creepy things that happen to their body after death. However, for some people, any portents of death are painfully enticing, as if the knowledge or warning could somehow help them escape mortality. These kinds of pre-death indicators are found across cultures and serve as signs of impending death for you or someone around you.
While there are bad omens around the world that indicate bad luck, the darker ones foreshadow death. This list is a compilation of omens of death, from sensible signs to absolutely insane warnings. In case the universe sends you a sign, read on to learn about some everyday death omens.
Death Crowns Can Be Found Inside Down Feather Pillows
If you or someone you know with a down feather pillow falls ill, tear it open and check for a death crown. It may make you look absolutely insane, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. The phenomena of death crowns have been most widely acknowledged in Appalachia. These “crowns” are often found in the pillows of ill people, and consist of crown-shaped masses of feathers.
They are most likely created by the tossing and turning of an ill person, but are viewed as omens of death. If one was discovered inside the pillow of an ill person, it was believed that the person would die within three days unless the feather crown was broken. While most death crowns in existence today have made their way into museums, the largest collection can be found within the Museum of Appalachia in Tennessee.
