    Superstitious Bliefs
    If you broke a mirror you would have seven years bad luck.
    If you went under a ladder you would never grow.
    If you found a comb you should burn it, because if you did not the banshee would come for it.

    You should never turn anything on St Brigids day because it is unlucky.
