    Some people believe that it is not safe to go out in the morning before the cock crows, because when the cock crows, all the spirits return to their places of rest. If people are up late at night and the cock crows, they immediately run to bed, because it is said, that is a sure sign that some-one of the family would die soon afterwards.
