I Am Superstitious

I do the same thing too, and I don’t walk under ladders either. Black cats don’t phase me as I used to have a black cat.

From as far back as I can remember, I rejected every superstition I came across. My mother was a strict Catholic who saw superstition as a sin, so maybe that's where it came from though I've added all religion to my list. It doesn't stop me enjoying a good ghost story. Ironically the night before my granny's death my mother was 100% convinced she heard the banshee; in other words some cats in heat. The Irish are incredibly superstitious. I suppose if you walk under a ladder you could get hit by something. I'd say it comes from times when there was no electricity; only an open turf fire, dark shadows, moaning sounds from the wind. Its fun!

Maybe hundreds of them

I don't even follow one

We don't do any laundry on New Year's Day because you will wash someone out of the family apparently.

If u talk about somebody and you sneeze, then that person must be mentioning you at the time.

Don't eat icecream in the shower.

I don't step on a crack while walking under a ladder and holding a black cat.

I’m Catholic, not supposed to be superstitious but I have a bunch of them also.
