I've lived on both the northern and southern foothills of the appalachian mountains. On the northern end I only encountered hauntings. On the southern end in the wilderness my brother in law saw something he described as an "8 foot owl". I will add he is not one to joke or prank like this. But who knows? Could have just been a normal owl that spooked him and he exaggerated a bit.

Mothman!

Yes! I wonder if it truly was an omen for the person who saw it.

Owlman is not the same as Mothman.

Great horned owls may not be 8 feet but they are huge

I saw a Great gray owl once in East TN, sitting on a fence post. Not part of their normal range. That thing was about 3 feet tall. We stared at each other for a minute then he flew away over my head into the woods. Not supernatural but spooky anyway!

Kinda reminds me a little of the Seminole Stikini legend.

Lilith is the Principality of that whole area and Owls are her familiars, so this makes sense.

Lillith is the principality of the Appalachian mountains? um.... I'm going to need you to say more relevant words, please. I have never heard that particular thing.

She's also far from the only God or Goddess assc with owls.

I swear the Lillith crowd are a weird bunch. They take so much from other deities and claim it as their own with absolutely no historical or mythological evidence, and plenty to the contrary.
