And I am here to testify. One such Friday the 13th, just to proove the rumor myth, I spotted one such ladder and bravely proceeded to walk beneath it. Just as I was about to puff my chest out and declair it a superstition, a bucket of paint spilled down all over me. As you might guess, nevermore did I strut under a ladder!<br />SharonSharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-15111537790901541062009-10-05T02:11:17.809-07:002009-10-05T02:11:17.809-07:00Hi Sharon,

The omen of death, that is! And I know you'll love what is coming up for Monday and Tuesday...the history of Halloween and witches and druids!

Great superstitions, Sharon, it's intesting how many of the Celtic ones are common to the US and UL. I guess the Pilgrim Fathers took them across the pond with them.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-59251050097263830192009-10-04T09:20:13.904-07:002009-10-04T09:20:13.904-07:00Mary, my Irish aunt was a good one for this supers...Mary, my Irish aunt was a good one for this superstition. She said it had to be a black bird, either crow or raven. And when one flew into her home, within a week her husband died. On a good note, she said the opposite was true for the bluebird of happiness. If one got in or perched outside your window, it represented news of a birth.<br />SharonSharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151203768395758839.post-68389960487687467792009-10-04T08:55:53.183-07:002009-10-04T08:55:53.183-07:00One that I just can't forget because it has ha...One that I just can't forget because it has happened.<br />If a bird fly's into your house, someone you know will die.<br />The day one of my dogs died, a bird flew into the house, landed on the TV and looked at the dog. Now King would have ordinarily have had to go look up close. But they just sat there staring at each other and then the bird flew away.Just one example of many.Mary Ricksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676306822821614446noreply@blogger.com
