What Strange Superstition Does Your Family Believe In?

Is it white cats that rub you the wrong way?

We’ve all heard of avoiding boring ol' cracks in the road and walking under entirely average ladders. But let's be honest, it's the weird and unique superstitions that are always the most fun!

For example, in my family whenever we talk about a dream at night we have to dedicate the story to a nearby light, lest something terrible happen! Needless to say, many lightbulbs have been reluctant listeners of my dream retellings over the years.

So tell us: what’s a random, unique, or downright odd superstition that only your family believes in?

Are you terrified of cutting your nails at night in case something really awful happens to your mum?

Are you convinced that if your left palm itches, then that obviously means someone's talking about you behind your back?

And forget a bed, do you freak out when you see that someone’s left their hat on the table?

Whatever it is, tell us which strange superstition you're convinced only your family believes in the comments below and you could be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post or video!
