Who knows weird myths/superstitions?

Question

The other day my boyfriend told me if you are driving down the road and a streetlight turns off while you are driving under it, its bad luck.

It happened to me twice the next night! I thought that was funny and weird.

What other myths do you know of that are weird?

I'm talking about beyond the whole broken mirror, walking under a ladder, black cat, hold your breath when passing a graveyard c**p.

P.S. why are u so curious about stuff like signs from the after life?

Answer 3

It's not bad luck for streetlights to turn off when you drive under them.  A lot of lights operate on sensors and some of them are defective.  Some people, though, have an unusually high rate of incidence of this phenom. as in, they drive down the street, and the lights will flip off as they drive along or otherwise have a lot of regular electrical interuption with their presence and street lights- these people call themselves SLIders (you can look this up on internet).  A lot of things you notice, like 11:11 on the clock, is the result of this psychological thing (which has a formal name) where you actually mentally (subcon.) set yourself to notice.  It runs the same deal as when you get up at the same time for work/school everyday, you find you wake about 30 sec. before your alarm goes off.

You should put your right shoe and sock on before your left.

Place your shoes half under your bed, heel to toe and you will keep spirits away while you sleep.

If you look between a cat or dogs ears in the direction they are looking, you can see any ghosts they might be looking at.

If you see a black dog ghost, it is a sign of your death.

This kind of stuff?

Do you know why breaking a mirror is seven years bad luck?

Evil spirits are trapped by mirrors, confused by which image is reality.  If you break the mirror, you release all those evil spirit (hence the bad luck).  It is why I keep mirrors all over my house though, to get those suckers! :)
