- Some people say that the blackbird whistles "The Wearin' of the Green".
If you kill a cricket all the other crickets will gather that night & eat your stockings until they are all holes.
When the people hear the crickets in the ditches outside the house they say there is going to be a death because the crickets have left the house.
When any of the wild birds come into the house, the old people say they have come for someone.
