    Special Days of the Year.
    It is said that if a woman would go into a house first in the morning of the New Year it will bring bad luck on that house all that year. But if a man came in he would bring good luck.
    If a child or an animal is born on Whit Sunday, they will either kill or be killed.
    On May Eve some people scatter flowers at the door for the fairies to dance on them.
