British Superstitions
Curing whooping cough by tying a dead mouse around the neck or passing a child under a donkey
“Hair of the dog”-placing a dog’s hair on a dog bite will heal it
Putting bread with quicksilver in water will find a drowned body
Stumbling going up stairs foretells a wedding
Passing someone on the stairs is unlucky
Friday the 13th is unlucky
Seeing a single magpie brings sorrow; two bring joy-salute or greet magpies to avoid bad luck
Coming across a black cat is lucky if it walks towards you, unlucky if it walks away
Being pooped on by a bird is good luck
Breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck
