More superstitions that have some logical explanation:
If you kill a spider in the house, it will rain. Well, when do spiders come in the house? When it gets cloudy before it rains.. they are coming in to get out of the weather that's coming, you kill them and voila.. if you a kill a spider in the house, it will rain!
If a bird comes into the house, someone in the house will die. Birds commonly carry diseases, even more so in the "olden" days. My ex-husband got encephalitis from a dead bird when he was 5. So yes, before we had antibiotics, you could get sick from a bird and someone would die.
Just a couple that I could think of off hand that actually make a little sense.
