Not sure if it is generally believed in the southwest, but 4 is actually true in my community. Growing up, whistling at night beside an elderly person could either invite a knock on the head or a warning because they believed it could attract a snake or ghost.

10 superstitions I found interesting in South Korea 🇰🇷 1. Sleeping with an electric fan on overnight can supposedly kill you (“fan death”). 2. Writing someone’s name in red ink is considered bad luck because it symbolizes death. 3. The number 4 is often avoided because its pronunciation sounds similar to the word for “death.” That’s why some elevators use “F” instead of 4. 4. Whistling at night is believed to attract ghosts or snakes. 5. Dreams are taken surprisingly seriously — some people even use dream interpretations to choose lottery numbers. 6. Moving houses or starting important events on “lucky dates” is still common for many people. 7. Giving shoes as gifts can symbolize the person “walking away” from you. 8. Cutting nails at night was traditionally believed to attract evil spirits or bad luck. 9. Certain numbers, zodiac signs, and blood types are believed by some people to influence personality and compatibility. 10. Seeing certain dreams — like pigs — is considered a sign of incoming wealth or good fortune.
