If birds came down the chimney and went out the door it would be the sign of bad luck.

If you broke a mirror you would not have luck in that house for seven years.
If you burned a pack of cards you would not have luck for seven years.
If an animal died, it would be the sign of bad luck if the skin and all was not buried.
If you went in from one house into a new house and if you took in a cat it would be the sign of bad luck.
