A death omen is an apparition of a deceased person or object. Usually, a death omen is an indicator that the person who is visited by it is going to die. The apparition can manifest in several places at once (bilocation), and to different people. Sometimes a death omen will try to communicate with the person they are appearing to, in order to warn them against impending danger.BoM
