* A dog howling under your window three nights in succession portends evil or death in the near future.
* A picture falling, if the glass be broken, speaks clearly of a death in the family at no very distant date; the glass being intact, implies that misfortune of some kind is hanging overhead, but possibly everything may come right in the end.
* A strange cat coming to your house, if black, should never be driven away; if you do so, you simply drive luck from your door.
* If you are unmarried, be very careful to keep in mind the fact that, having attended three funerals, you must at least be present during part of a wedding service before standing at the graveside of a fourth, or you will die single, unless you are exceedingly rash, and get married in spite of everything.
* If you tread on an ordinary road beetle, rain will presently fall.

The one about dying single is about the most complicated and involved superstition I've ever come across! I'm having trouble keeping track myself...
