    If you met a hare on the road you would have to turn your coat inside out, or, it was said that something would happen to you.
    If a red-haired woman saluted you, your eye would have no luck.
    A red-haired woman would not be allowed first into a house on new year's day.
    If you were out visiting after dark it was said that you would have to wait until the cock would crow or else to have a light with you to frighten the fairies.
