Barn owls are one of Britain’s most haunting and misunderstood birds, gliding silently through the dusk, pale as ghosts, and wrapped in centuries of folklore.
In this episode of Fact & Folklore, we explore the real science behind barn owls — from how they hunt in near-total darkness to why their heart-shaped faces are such powerful sound detectors — and then unravel the stories, superstitions, and omens that grew around them in British history.
Were barn owls really seen as ghosts or warnings of death? And how much of that folklore is rooted in genuine biological adaptations?
In this video, you’ll discover:
🦉 What makes barn owls such extraordinary hunters
🦉 Where ghostly legends and superstitions came from
🦉 How folklore can reflect real animal behaviour
