Thats straight out of the Japanese culture.
They also believe that you can't cut your toenails at night or evil spirits will come.
And your front door cant be a straight shot from the street. You have to make at least one turn before going inside. (i.e. sidewalk turns to the right or left and door is on side of house) Evil spirits cannot turn corners. Thats my personal favorite.
Russians believe that you cannot sit on cold concrete (as a woman) or you will become infertile. Place a plastic bag down under your butt and you are in the clear!
