Bad things happening in 3's

Do you believe in the superstition of bad things happening in 3's?  Like, often 3 different celebrities will die really close to each other's date of death.  My mom always told me bad things happen in 3's, like a cousin would get in a car accident, then an older relative would die, and then something else would happen to our family, and that's how she explained it.

There were other morbid threads, so I thought I would throw this superstition out there for discussion.

I believe in it (obv).  I'm currently really nervous for me, DH, and our dog.  1)  DH's sister was kicked out with little notice of her apt building and is basically homeless in NYC, and the building is going to be torn down later this week.  2)  DH's niece (there is an age gap in generations in his family, so she's older than DH) lost the job she just got, and really needs since she's preggo with #2 and $ is super tight for her.  3) ?  I think some bad karma is coming our way.... our dog was acting weird this morning, and the pet death thread makes me think it's a sign Sad

Now I'm getting all Final Destination-like.... Embarrassed

Re: Bad things happening in 3's

  • i'm pretty superstitious....but i don't believe in this.. .i think it's a coincidence...and much more than 3 things happen, but you only pick out 3 to make it fit....

    btw, final destination was on tv last night. total coincidence, of course Wink.

    i know this probably doesn't settle any fears, so, good luck! enjoy your day Smile

  • I'm with Jennlin.Because there's this "myth" or story around of "bad things happening in 3s" when 2 things happen, people LOOK for the third item (and discount anything additional things or make a bigger deal of the 3rd thing to make it fit what they expect). Of course, many of my friends also believe that by putting the negative energy out there that a third bad/tragic thing will occur, you are helping to manifest it.
