      Random fictional folk beliefs

      The generator offers English sayings, customs and omens made up for fiction. An idea might connect a sound, a lost object or an unlikely coincidence with the story a household, workshop or village tells about it.

      Give the belief to a specific storyteller in your fictional world. Decide who learned it from them, who tells it differently, and what happens when a character takes it seriously.
