If You Spot A Home With A Star On It, Here’s What It Means
Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in January 2021.
In late December 2020, a social media post sent shockwaves across the internet, suggesting that homes adorned with five-pointed stars were secret signals for “swingers,” a term often associated with couples who engage in partner swapping. However, our investigation uncovered no concrete evidence to support this claim. The roots of this rumor trace back to a 2007 post on the StrippersOnline message board, according to an article published by Distractify, a news and entertainment site.
As reported by The Morning Call, a local Pennsylvania newspaper, the meaning of these stars may vary depending on whom you ask. Broadly speaking, they are often associated with bringing good luck and protection. Some even ascribe different interpretations to the color of the star.
