Do You Think The Statement "Death Comes In Threes" is true?

Before the last few months, I would have probably said no, but I'm starting to believe it.

Within the last 6 months, my family has lost 3 family members. During the last funneral service someone said to me "well this is the third, so hopefully we're finished"

I looked at them, at the time and thought, huh? But the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to wonder...

What are your thoughts?


ETA: Sorry! I some how posted this thread before I actually typed the text!!!

No, I think people just notice it more b/c they are looking for it. I've heard people use celebrity deaths as part of their 3, which seems like a stretch to me.

No, I don't think it's true - I think it's just a coincidence. When I hear about one person dying, I don't look around to see who the other 2 are going to be. I hope every wake/funeral is the last one I go to for a while.


I am sorry for your losses.

For me, it's usually true. And I notice it with celebrity deaths as well.

No. Thousands of people die everyday and every person is born with a 100% chance of dying. The odds are you will know of someone who has died when you are trying to think of people to fulfill who the 3 people are.

What are the time restraints on this saying too. My grandmothers died a week apart from each other about 7 months later my cousins aunts aunt died and someone said oh we have our 3 now hopefully that will be it for a long time. It amazed me that someone would think like that.

I do.

Sort of random, but my dad says lightbulbs burn out in threes which I have noticed to be true.

I'm not superstitious at all, so I don't believe in any of that.

They probably burn out in threes because they were originally replaced in threes due to a random power surge that blew the bulbs. By the time one blows, it is time to replace the others because they are all the same age. Chat Icon Chat Icon
