one is going to die? I'm writing a paper for a folklore class and I need some specific examples if possible of things that you may have heard. An example would be, stories about animals who predict seniors in nursing homes are going to die, or a black bird pecking at your window means impending doom. Or I've heard of pictures falling off walls means something bad is going to happen. I need to know if you KNOW someone this has happened to, and if you could please provide personal info such as age, location, ethnicity, etc. for yourself and the person it happened to, that would be great. Bonus points if your first language is not English!

Ever hear of the deathwatch beetle? That's a creepy one. We actually had a deathwatch beetle in our house once-that "tick...tick...tick..." noise drove all of us bonkers.

Supposedly, the deathwatch beetle is counting the seconds until someone in the house dies. No one died when we had one, though. Well, the bug eventually died...but I don't think that counts.
