Owl Ancestor-Spirit (Khmer)

ancestor-spirit · United States · North America

No owl ancestor-spirit exists in Khmer (Cambodian) tradition, and the Khmer are a Southeast Asian people, not of the United States. Cambodian folklore does regard the owl as an ill omen whose cry foretells death, but no ancestor-spirit, water spirit, or guardian owl is recorded. The entry is a template-generated invention with the wrong country and the wrong people.
