Death Omens can be almost anything. They can be a sign of nature...such as a cloud formation. They can be signs that occur naturally like the way wax drips from a candle or they can even be accidental signs, like someone tipping a chair over back wards.
Death is often foretold by the appearance of a certain animal. Black birds and night birds are often though of as death birds. Ravens, crows and owls are widely regarded as death omens when they appear in a village suddenly or lurk around a certain house.
The howling of a dog, which in mythology is the guardian of the underworld is believed to predict the death of someone nearby. In England, if the first lamb born to a farmer is black in colour, a family death will occur within that year.
Death omens also include supernatural apparitions such as a Banshee. Another common omen is the phantom death coach drawn my black horses and driven by a headless man. The coach will stop at a house where someone will soon die.
Luminous lights such as "corpse lights" are blueish coloured lights seen flickering in the night usually before someone will soon pass away.
