There's something about demons that we can't quite resist, even if we're not superstitious. Is there a person anywhere who has never grabbed a button when meeting a chimney sweep? Or, who has never knocked on wood? Even if we are not superstitious, devils arouse doubt, but what if it might be true?

Are you superstitious? Have you or not, how many times have you heard the phrases "don't walk under the ladder" or "knock on wood"? There are a number of unwritten rules about things that can bring bad luck or good luck. It depends on how superstitious you are.

Before you are old folk beliefs that most people still believe.

1. If a swallow builds a nest on the roof of a house, peace will come to that house.

2. What you dream about on the first night in a new apartment will come true. Also, when you sleep in someone else's bed for the first time, remember what you dreamed, because only that will come true.

3. Never put red and white flowers together in a vase. This combination brings misfortune.

4. If you see a stork sitting peacefully on the roof of your house, get ready for a period of peace and happiness.

5. When a guest leaves the house without sitting down, it is believed that he has taken peace from the house.

6. If the glass breaks in the house, it predicts good luck.

7. An egg with two yolks means that someone will get married soon. Black spots on the yolk are a bad sign, while an egg without a yolk represents an extremely bad omen and great misfortune.

8. When you see a spider on you, on your dress, luck awaits you.

9. When you help a dog, cat or any animal in need, charity is returned.

16. Whoever drinks coffee from a broken cup will marry a widower or marry a widow.
