Cover mirrors in the bedroom at night so spirits cannot come through or disturb your soul
Do not sing at night or snakes or ghosts will come
Do not cut your nails at night or you will shorten your life or attract spirits
Do not point directly at the moon or your ear will be cut or scarred
If your left eye twitches, something bad will happen; if the right eye twitches, something good will happen
Do not sit on tables because spirits might sit there or it invites bad luck
