They fly around waiting to find dead things to eat, so they were considered some kind of harbingers of death, or a symbol of that. The fact that they look displeasing, have very sharp features, hunch over and hobble around only added to the stigma, really. Flying in menacing circles also didn't help. They're more often seen as waiting on the side-lines in books/movies, being cynical and waiting for the death of others.
