Is the Robin the human spirit ?

I was just waking up at about 7am on a warm summer's day. A robin had flown in the big window. It sat on my open laptop and looked at me in bed. We exchanged knowing looks that this would be a brief encounter. He/She flew out my bedroom door soon after. Went to see if it was trapped in a room or something but had found a way out through the landing (upstairs hall) window real sharpish. Told a mate about it. They said it can mean extreme good fortune or DEATH! The next week another mate messaged me to come around and pick up a laptop they didn't need. I went around a few days later and knocked the door but they didn't answer. Next day I got a text from someone else to say my friend who wanted to give me the laptop had died?? Death it was. Was that Robin a messenger come to collect? Watch out for the Robbins.

that's a chilling story honestly, robin landing right on your laptop then that happening after is wild timing. nature does some spooky stuff sometimes that we can't explain. sorry about your friend though, that's heavy no matter what the bird meant.

Sounds kind of spooky to me. As it is commonly known that Many believe that robins act as messengers from loved ones who have passed away, especially during significant times of grief.

Wow! That's a bit spooky. Our robins aren't really like yours but I guess the first settlers thought they were near enough.
