  1. If a person is born or any kind of animal born on Whit Sunday or Monday they are called "Kinchise", and if you ever get a hurt or a kick from any of these, it will never get better, until you get a piece of their clothes or hair and burn it, and put the ashes of them on the cut. These two days are thought unlucky.
