It is unlucky to bathe in the sea on Whit Sunday. It is believed that you will be drowned.
If any animal is born on Whit-Sunday it will be cross. If it is born at certain unlucky hour, it will die at the same time on a Whit-Sunday also.
It is unlucky to "clip" sheep or cut off a lamb's tail at Whitsun. It is said that a "pick" of wool will never grow while there is a hair in a man's head.
If a person is drowned on Whit Sunday three persons from the same townland will be drowned before the year is out.
