Readers of John Keel’s The Mothman Prophecies will know the owls are not what they seem, and now Parks & Recreation officials in Oregon are learning the same thing. After a spate of owl attacks on joggers, outdoor enthusiasts, & 16-year-old girls named Sarah, officials are installing “beware of angry owl” signs throughout Salem Oregon’s Bush’s State Park to warn people of swooping owls. So forget your A.A. Milne image of jolly old owls dispensing wisdom, or JK Rowling’s magical postal service; now it’s sharp talons coming for the back of your head.
And before you decide to take a road trip to Oregon and nab yourself one of those shiny signs, you can download and make your own here. I seriously hope they start selling the real deal, as it’d be a great way to raise funds for the park & owl conservation.
