Singaporean Superstitions
Do not place your bed under a beam or your luck and health will be “pressed” down
Do not place a mirror directly facing the bed or you will attract third parties into the relationship or restless spirits
Do not sleep with your feet facing the door because it resembles how corpses are taken out
Some avoid east–west facing flats because people inside are said to be “hotheaded” and quarrelsome
Prefer 6, 8, or combinations like 88 or 168 because they sound like “smooth”, “prosper” and “road to wealth”
Avoid house or unit numbers with the digit 4 because it sounds like “death” in Chinese
Avoid swimming during the seventh lunar month because water ghosts may drag you under
Do not hang wet clothes outside at night during Hungry Ghost month or spirits may “wear” them
Do not sit in the front row of getai shows because those seats are “reserved” for ghosts
Do not whistle, sing loudly, or stay out too late at night during Hungry Ghost month or spirits will follow you
