The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
I'VE NEVER KNOWN THIS TO BE TRUE IN ANYONE ELSE'S FAMILY,
BUT THE SCOTT FAMILY. WE CALL IT "DEATH TOKENS."
IN MY LIFE THERE WERE THREE RINGS OF A BELL AND SOMEONE
DIED. ONE TIME 3 KEYS ON THE PIANO PLAYED WITHOUT ANYONE
SITTING THERE. AND THE LAST TIME THERE WERE 3 KNOCKS ON THE
BED AND SOMEONE DIED.
USUALLY THE PERSON WHO DOESN'T HEAR IT WILL BE THE ONE TO
DIE.
