Well Jeff, despite the fact that it is in competition with mine, I like
this theory a lot.  I think Bob is rather cute but he is a little ratty
looking. The perspective was like that of a small animal and I noticed that
the heartbeat in the background was too fast for a normal human although
a human under a lot of stress might have a heartbeat that fast. Animals
hearts beat much faster than human hearts.
Also, I noticed in the previous episode the picture over Audrey's shoulder
as she was talking with Cooper in his room. It seemed to show flying
creatures grabbing smaller creatures in their talons. I thought
it was either of owls and rabbits or kingfishers and fish.
 
I assumed that the owl in the final scene was Bob grabbing a soul but as you
say it could be another owl-spirit grabbing Bob.
