Convinced we’re haunted by the number 337!
June 26, 2008
The latest 337 haunting was seen by my sister Erin who attended a wedding at the Halekulani this past weekend. Who knew there was such a brand of wine? We do now! Yikes!
It’s time to come clean on something kind of funny and eerie! I’m not the superstitious type, but ever since my days in college the number 337 has followed me everywhere. No matter where I go, what I do, or whatever, the damn number haunts me to no end. I’m optimistic that it represents something positive (hopefully my future salary with three zeros at the end of it), but I can’t tell you how anxious I am to find out what it really means. BTW, I’ve since passed it on to Kelly (your welcome babe!).
It all started with my friend Leighton and the days of pagers (remembers those gizmos?). While attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, we all had pagers and had special codes to signify who was paging. My code was “178″ which looked like N8 or Nate. Well, Leighton’s pager happened code happened to be “337″ or Lee upside down. That was cool…
…until we moved into apartment C337 at Hale Noelani at UH for a year. That was a bit creepy but I passed it off as a random incident since it was really only my second run in with The Number. We had good times there, nothing crazy happened, and life went on. But then strange things started to happen.
- Everytime I randomly looked at the clock on the wall at the library, at my job, in the car…the time just happened to be 3:37.
- When going to the grocery store, I’d always pick up the ground beef or pork that happened to be $3.37.
- Driving in my car, you can probably guess what I’m about to say. Yep, on several dozen occasions the car in front of me just happened to have a license place with the number 337. See photos below!
Random 337 sightings on the way to the office. Seriously, what’s going on?!
But the incident that put it over the top was when Kelly’s brother Jon moved into the Noelani apartment complex at UH years after I graduated and ended up in the same room I had when I was there…C337!! WTF?
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve since passed it on to Kelly, we continue to pick up ground beef, look at the clock, and follow cars that have 337 connected to it. Heck, I think I’ve even passed it along to my other family and friends (as evidenced in the photo above).
Is anyone else out there “cursed” by the number 337? If so, I’d love to hear about your experiences…good and bad.

That’s a cool story, at least 337 seems pretty innocuous, not like, being haunted by 666 or something =) I wonder if you’re now over-sensitized to that numeric combination, kinda like how I always notice the number 14 (my bday), etc … the dorm room thing is funny, what a coincidence!
It’s crazy all the places I see this number. Not only me, but my wife too. It’s a fun little game we play, but gotta wonder what it all means.
That’s actually really weird because I’ve been experiencing the same thing. My freshman room number was 337 and ever since then it’s been following me around. I don’t really like to think of it as a bad thing, it’s just highly peculiar.
At least once or twice a week at work the number will pop up on a receipt or a checkout sheet.
Very frequently I’ll check the time and it will be 3:37.
It pops up a lot online too. I’ll make a facebook comment or something and the time will be 3:37. This has happened several times.
I also have 337 pictures on my facebook right now.
I just got my photo locker and the number was 346. I was relieved because if it was 337 it would really creep me out. But then when I went to open it for the first time, there was 337 right beside it, as if taunting me. (the lockers are arranged in vertical rows).
Somehow this number has significance. I don’t know what but I’m pretty convinced it means something. Or it may just be that I’ve become so hypersensitive to seeing it around. But really, what’s the chance of landing on 337 as opposed to any other number? Pretty slim.
and very peculiar.
[...] the fact that it’s been following me (or haunting me) since my days in college. I’ve shared the story about 337 in a post on this blog about how it all started and have gotten some interesting feed back about what the number could [...]
i see it all the time. my girlfriend thinks i’m crazy. i only found this site because i looked at the clock to see 3:37, once again. heh..
the numbers 3 and 7 are powerful in numerology.
maybe we’re on the right path.
Harley, scary thing isn’t it?
Glad to hear the numbers 3 and 7 are powerful…hopefully in a good way. BTW, for extra kicks:

My other blog site devoted to the number itself. Aloha!
Hey me too. 337 is a very lucky number. I’ve looked into the what diffrent numeralogist think of this number and it’s all really crazy posotive stuff. Though my favorite is in kabalistic numeralogy one of it’s meanings is the ruler of earth, also a place of asking. It’s been my lucky number for years.
I too am haunted by the number 337… its totally crazy but I was on the internet wondering why I always see this number because I randomly looked at the time & to my surprise (or not) its 3:37pm. This was my locker number in high school and in my sophomore year there was a sign put up down the road that was orange with only three numbers on it in bold black numbers… 337. I see it everywhere… & my husband brought home that wine and I stared at it in disbelief… wtf?!? Why does it follow us?
can’t believe I found this website,

Hi Renee…that’s awesome!
There must be something magical about that number. Some have told me it mean’s I’m going to the gates of hell…others have said it’s good luck numbers. I’ll take the latter…LOL! Why does it follow us? Only time will tell. If you find out, let me know. I’ll do the same. 
BTW, did you see this:

Wow! This is so crazy. This number has followed me too for at least the past 10years. It all started when I was at the store one day (I was a teenager), and I literally heard my house phone ring… (From the store). I thought I was trippin but said for kicks I’d look at the time and check my caller I’d when I got back. The time was 3:37. When I got home I found out a friend had called me at 3:37 exactly.
I was in totally disbelief. But I couldn’t find any significance, I just thought I had discovered some super power. As time went on, I started to see the number every where just like u guys.
I googled this number just now and found this site and had to leave a comment. What are the odds of the same exact number having the same exact effect on others???? I’m in awe.
incognito: I’m not sure what the number means, but I’ve shifted my thinking that it’s a number that “haunts” us to it being some kind of “good luck” number. I’ve been followed by this number since 1995. Please keep in touch and we’ll unfold what the true meaning is together with the rest of the folks that have posted here.
OMG! I am TOTALLY buggin! I can’t believe this. I SEE 337 EVERYWHERE. I am totally and completly….I don’t know, gasping for air!? For years I’ve told my friends that I see this number EVERYWHERE ALL The time!! All.The.Time. Their only response is to play it in Pick 3 Lotto. But it clearly has more significance. Why does that wine have that name? Maybe they know something. I too was haunted by the number to the point that I had to Google it!!! To find that there are OTHER PEOPLE seeing the SAME Number everywhere all the time for years is BANANANANANAAASS!! I don’t know what to do about this. I might start a group lol. Glad I’m not alone in this…wait or am I? I’m going start blogging about it too now on my website now that I know. Mr Kam do you mind if I put your blog address on my blog site?
SunshineBuilder: You are absolutely more than welcome to link to by blog from yours. Hardly a day goes by where I don’t see the number. In fact, this morning when I as driving to work, a BMW cut in front of me on the free way with a license plate that included the numbers 337. There’s got to be a deeper meaning to this. Did you see my other blog:

Perhaps we should start the 337 Blog Network?
Keep in touch as we figure out what this madness is all about.
Aloha!
I thought I was just insane about the number until i read this.
