My family isnt Irish and I've heard the same "Wives tales". I've heard never to kill a cricket in a house or you'll have bad luck.......LOL  |

LOL!! I have heard all of these as well...the spider one is different though..I was told never to kill a spider because it will rain the next day...also, if you spill salt you should toss salt over your left shoulder to prevent bad luck...@}----xoxo  |

Here's some I grew up hearing... If a butter knife falls on the floor, someone will show up at your house hungry and coming from the direction the knife was pointing... If you put your shoes on a table you'll never marry... If you kill a daddy-long-leg spider it will rain shortly afterward...  |

Oh, and if you get out of the left side of a bed evil will follow you throughout the day. |

LadyLuck! I can't even count ho many times my Grandparents made me throw salt over my shoulder as a kid after I spilled some! I used to knock the bottle over on purpose just so I could toss some over my shoulder.....lol! Never heard of the knife thing serialchic, but I'll remember it. My Grandma did say "If you put your shoes on a table you'll never marry" too!  |

WOW!!! if you think about it it's all bad luck. At least for me...unexpected company and death fall under the bad luck category for me, as well. I have these superstitions in my family too and they are usually right I guess that's why they have been around so long. Good Post...NKA  |

Oh I have a story about the birds as well..in 93 I was sitting in my dining room, when two baby birds hit my window at the same time! I went out to see if they were ok, and both were dead, their necks snapped. Less than a week later, I got the phone call that one of my best friends was in a car accident and both of her little girls were killed on impact...both with broken necks...@}----xoxo |

My Grandmother was Irish also and I have heard many of these before. The death comes in threes has also been true for our family.  |

Amazing. With us it's shoes on a TABLE, and if a bird gets INTO your house, and as for falling cutlery, a knife means a man will visit, a fork, an woman, a soup spoon an unmarried (available) woman, and a teaspoon, a child will visit! Thanks, Hawk! Love,  |
