We all have heard of these superstitious beliefs at some point or another in our lives. I'll be honest I still don't whistle at night cause my grandmum told me,"don't whistle ghosts will come".My sister always tied her hair before an exam because she believed that if she keeps her hair open her knowledge will fly out.My friend Ashritha always wears yellow before the on set of any important event , cause she is convinced it's a recipe of success in her life. It's not like all these people including myself are unaware of these notions being hideous but we still do it and i always wonder if this fixation really has a perfect answer....

Interestingly, according to Japanese tradition whistling summons the spirits of the dead. When done at night, they're unable to find their way, and become lost. So going by this version, even if we whistle at night, the ghosts will never find us! :-)
