If you listen to the final scene of the last broadcast (Ronette's
dream), towards the end as the camera pans from Ronette's body
to Bob's face, you can hear an owl-like hooting sound.  Note that
it's not a "distant hoot in the night" owl sound, but a sound coming
from within the train car.  This is a pretty strong hint that Bob
is an Owl!
