TAKEN actor Liam is convinced a strange encounter with a bird foretold the death of his father, Bernard – a school caretaker from Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

During an interview for US show Inside the Actors Studio, Liam, 68, recalled: “I woke up one morning and there was this red- breasted bird sitting on the ledge looking into the room. This bird came in, it flew around about three times, landed on the window ledge again, looking out.

“As I got up to go over and close the window, it flew away. I went back to bed and I started thinking about my father.

“Like, really thinking about my father, because he kept canaries, and so forth.

“About an hour later I got a call he had died.

“There’s a legend that if a bird comes into your house it’s a sign of death or a birth.

“My sister Bernadette, she had a very similar experience with a pigeon that had broken a leg, and she started thinking about our father, too.”

Greg was rushed to hospital in September 2014 having almost cut off his left hand in a bloody chainsaw accident.

Greg, now 65, said he foresaw the bizarre incident, revealing: “I had a premonitio­n, to tell you the truth, as I was getting my chainsaw ready, that something bad was going to happen.

“I had this premonitio­n and almost pulled out of it, but I thought it’s not a big tree, not a real difficult task to do.

“We all have premonitio­ns.

“That one was just unusually prophetic, I guess.

“I nearly didn’t go down and chainsaw. I guess the moral of the story is to trust your internal mechanism.”
