Why You Should NEVER Whistle in a Graveyard or Cemetery!

Описание: Why should you never whistle in a graveyard or cemetery?
For centuries, whistling among the dead has been feared as a dangerous superstition — a taboo connected to spirits, omens, bad luck, and the belief that sound can cross the boundary between the living and the dead. This video explores the real meaning behind the “never whistle in a graveyard” rule, where the superstition came from, and why so many cultures believed it could attract spirits or disturb the departed.

Grave Stories with Dr Karell King explores cemeteries not as places of silence, but as archives of human experience.

In this episode, we uncover the origins of graveyard whistling taboos, trace the folklore behind cemetery superstitions, and examine how shifting attitudes toward death shaped the rules, fears, and rituals people still whisper about today.
