Superstitions Around the World


From India country, superstitions that practices by Indians.
  • Indian Child Forced to share milk with rats. People that are malnourished and many children devoid of milk, but superstition has led Indians to snatch milk from human babies and feed it to holy rats instead.
  • Sighting of a widow or barren women before important events or activities is considered unlucky.

Meanwhile, in Japan, Unlucky number``4'' is pronounced as shi in Japanese, which is same to the word ``death.'' ``9'' is pronounced as ku in Japanese, which is same to the word ``pain.'' So the two are considered as unlucky numbers. Hospitals usually have neither 4th or 9th floors.

Besides than Japan, I believe that Sikh religion have various superstitions and they had call "Superstition" is like a disease for the mind it brings confusion and fear and takes you away from reality.
  • "When a black cat crosses one's path, something will happen if one crosses the line where the cat passed. To "undo" either wait for someone who didn't know about the black cat to cross the path or think of another route."
  • "If you wash your hair on the first day of the month you will have a short life."
Additionally, I have made some research during FIFA worldcup and it might be interesting to share with others about their superstitions.

  • We start with Chelsea and England captain John Terry. He always sit in the same seat on the team bus, wrap tape round his socks three times, listen to the same CD on the way to the stadium and always park in the same spot before every game at Stamford Bridge.
  • One ritual practised by footballers the world over is wearing the same underwear for matches, such is the case with Romania's Adrian Mutu or former Colombia shot-stopper Rene Higuita, whose undergarments always have to be blue.
Hope that you enjoy reading the Superstitions Around the world.
