What is it about the raven that makes it so scary? Personally, I can’t tell the difference between a raven and a crow. Although now that I think about it, sometimes I’ll come out of the grocery store and a crow will be sitting on top of my car, just, you know, eyeballin’ me. And I’ll just stand there, paralyzed, telling him, “Shoo crow…don’t bother me.” Alright, that is pretty scary.
