Crazy Superstitions

Broken Mirror
Though we do not believe in superstitions, our minds often convince us to follow them. There are superstitions from almost all aspects of our daily lives and most have unknown origins. Here are some of them, which most of us do really follow some times.

We often find black cats on the streets. It is said that if a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune. But if it walks away, then it takes the good fortune with it. 
Most of us are sensitive and catch cold very easily. If you catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, you will not catch a cold all winter. 
Now here goes a good one. Breaking a mirror is said to bring bad luck for seven years. To aid this, take the shards of glass and bury them under the moonlight. In ancient times, mirrors were said to be the windows to the viewer’s soul.

We are often troubled by dreadful nightmares and fall sick. Well, its prevention is very simple. Just hang a horseshoe in your bedroom and it will keep all nightmares away. 
Most of us hate lizards. But still, if you ever dream of a lizard then it signs that you have a secret enemy. 
It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same matchstick.  
If you want an everlasting friendship and your friend gives you a knife someday, then you should give him back a coin or your friendship will soon be broken.

    However, the above mentioned are nothing more than superstitions, but you never know, even superstitions might come true.
