The creature is a barn owl

A look at the clip showed the creature is a barn owl. According to Barn Owl Trust, barn owls are birds of prey, hunting and catching small mammals.

They have some extraordinary specially adapted characteristics to help them hunt for food at night, such as incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to see movement with very little light.

Many netizens, however, thought the creature was a 'witch' or something diabolic.
