    If you saw a piece of straw hang from the feathers of a hen it is said some one strange would come to the door.
    When fishermen are going out to fish it is lucky for them to make a cross with their thumb and first finger.
    If your ears are red there is some one talking about you.
    If a raven flys over a house it is said that some of the family would die
    It is said that if your eye brows itch you there is some one thinking of you.
