    If a hare crossed the road before some people when going to a fair...

    If a hare crossed the road before some people when going to a fair they would turn back home for fear they would have bad luck at the fair.
    It is a sign of good news to hear a number of magpies chattering around a house.
    If people met a barefooted red-haired woman as they were going to a fair they would turn back.
    If a cock crows during the night it is an unlucky sign.
