Superstition About Bats

There are many superstitions about bats. Although a bat means long life and happiness, and is a good omen mainly in China and Poland, they can be negative as well.

Bats have always been connected to witches, and depending on the tradition, that can be good or bad, especially if the bat enters the house. If a bat flies three times around a house, death is around the corner - a very bad omen. But if bats are outside the house and they are seen flying about playfully, it is a sign that good weather is about to come.

However, since bats are associated with supernatural stuff, people say that bats can be something evil in disguise. So when you see a bat, you might actually be seeing the Devil, a witch, a ghost, or Dracula.

The poet Virgil helped to establish the bat's reputation by associating it with the winged monsters of Homeric legend. Another superstition is that it is considered bad luck to kill a bat but if one flies past you then watch out for someone is trying to deceive you.
