What Happens When You Whistle in the House

Has it ever occurred to you that a famous song came to your mind and you suddenly had the urge to swing the melodic line whistling? If so, and you have had an older grandmother or aunt, it is possible that one of them stopped you dramatically, desperately, in the full artistic act. "It's not good to whistle at home": that may have been the only explanation given to you.

Surely you have heard of this superstition, which is quite widespread, but have you ever wondered what it means? Find out from the lines below what you risk happening, according to the beliefs of your ancestors, if you suddenly start whistling in the privacy of your own home!

Do you whistle in the house? This is what can happen to you

The truth is that, beyond superstition, it is not very pleasant to whistle in the house and we will not deny that, apart from having fun, those around us do not witness an act that tickles their ears too pleasantly.

Of course, if you are endowed with grace and can chirp like a nightingale, things may be different, but you know that in most cases this is not the case.

But superstition was not created in the light of the pleasure that those around you feel when you hear your sounds, but it comes from your ancestors. What happens if you whistle in the house?

We are not too sure, because the explanations are different, so you are free to choose your fate. But here are the interpretations of the people!

Your house remains deserted.

If you whistle at home, especially in the evening, all those you love will run away, and luck will go away from you. Even the material possessions that fill your home can disappear if you are not careful.

Most likely the explanation has something to do with the echo of the whistle, especially in small interiors, such as those of the creators of this superstition.

You can summon evil spirits.

This time, the interpretation is even gloomier. In some parts of the country, those who whistle at home at night (or, more specifically, after sunset) are just shouting for an evil spirit. We believe that all the gloomy sounds of the whistle also evoked this superstition.

You're losing money.

The most common interpretation of the whistle at home is that it will bring you bad luck financially. This time, the meaning lies in the sound of "damage" suggested by the whistle and which anticipates the loss of money.

Even the Explanatory Dictionary of the Romanian Language makes this correlation, the expression "whistling damage" being synonymous with "predicting a loss".

Other money superstitions

What happens if you whistle in the house? You're losing money! Here are some other situations in which you may find yourself in danger!

If you find money on the street and own it, you will be cursed.

The explanation is that the money lost is surrounded by negative energies that you will take over. What can you do? If the amount is large, take it to the police, if it is small, donate it!

Don't give away a wallet without putting money in it!

"It's not good" if you do it, because that way you can sort out the man you gave the bad luck to. Your wallet should never be left empty, nor should it be too close to you. Always keep it in your bag, because money emanates restless energies that can interfere with your peace or rest.

Be careful how you count and when you spend your money.

Can't put any money aside? Maybe you're making one of the following mistakes. Thus, it is not good to count money in the evening, but only in the morning, because you attract poverty into your life.

Avoid spending money on the first day of salary, because that way your funds will go to the water on Saturday (so that's why we're always bankrupt). Last but not least, when you put your money in your wallet, do not fold it, but spread it nicely, to attract other funds.

Now you know what happens if you whistle in the house! We are curious: do you usually consider superstitions? If so, what superstition affects you the most?
