Video making its way out of China shows massive murders of crows circling infected cities in the mainland.
Coupled with reports of dead bodies and local folklore about the bird, their appearance is causing a sense of dread for those who see the hordes of feathered beasts.
Many of the videos popping up recently were recorded near the city of Wuhan, where the deadly COVID-19 virus first originated months ago.
Although the clips are taken from all around Hubei province, they all show an unsettling amount of crows ominously wheeling overhead.
One video reportedly from Hanchuan, a city next to Wuhan, shows an entire murder of crows darkening the sky as they fly in all directions. Nearby trees can be seen crowded with the black birds.
