the fates

The fates are three women who are dressed in white that come into the house through the chimney, keyhole or a door that someone forgot to close when a baby is born into the house. When they come, strange things start to happen; fire in the fireplace or a candle is extinguished or lit, dogs howl, and the high wind starts to blow. They stand next to the fireplace or the door and all talk same time so people cannot tell which one premonition which fate to the newborn baby.
