Asian Whistling Folklore
‘In China and Korea, it is unlucky to whistle as you walk at night in case you attract wandering ghosts that will then follow you home and remain to haunt you.’
[Stacia Briggs and Siofra Connor ‘Have you seen a whistling ghost off the Acle Straight?’, Eastern Daily Express (26 May 2022)]
Practitioners of transcendental whistling appear in Chinese literature and along with the ability to communicate with spirits, the whistlers could control weather and animals.
