Like a lot of superstitions this might be tied into morbid angles. People do not normally wear hats indoors. Leaving a hat on a bed might suggest somebody had died. I seem to recall at the funeral of Juliette Gordon Low, the lady was dressed in her Girl Scout uniform but the hat (for obvious reasons) was placed at her feet or over trhe closed portion of the casket. a hat on a bed might have the same connotation of a flag half-way up or half-mast. That is a mark of respect for the dead. In Portugal, the superstition is that a hat on a bed fortells a family argument. Rodeo riders see a hat on the bed as a premonition of a rodeo injury or death. Some sources cite that the hat-on-a-bed superstition has its roots in practical hygeine. Hats are a good source of head lice, and laying down naked on a bed full of head lice is bound to cause some itching.
This superstition may have originated from the belief that hats carried evil spirits, so placing them on a bed could bring bad luck or misfortune. Another explanation is that hats were seen as a personal item and should not be placed where someone sleeps to avoid transferring negative energy.
