    If you are passing by a place where some one was killed or died you are supposed to throw a stone there, if you don't that person will haunt you. If you went into some house on an errand and if you went out another door, you would never grow.

    It is lucky to find a horseshoe with nails in it lost on one's path. One should bring one or more horseshoe nails in one's pocket for luck when going on a journey. Meeting a man or a boy with a donkey brings good luck, but with a pig is a most unlucky thing.
