  2. SOme of these I've never even heard of before: purse on the floor, white owl at night, the prego thing (makes sense), bucket of water, etc. So this was insightful!

    I have to say mine are:
    1) when someone dies ALWAYS open a window, or their soul could be trapped (Hopi superstition I belive)
    2) deaths come in 3s or 5s (I work in a nursing home)
    3) Wish on a shooting star
    4) Umbrella inside
    5) knock on wood
