Ok I promise this is the Last of the Superstitions blogs! Once again... odd superstitions ... this time about animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a turtle bites you, he won't let go until he hears thunder.

If you lose your cows, get a daddylong legs and ask him.."where are my cows, ol' daddylong legs?". The first leg he lifts will tell you which way they went.

Never kill a toad. If you handle one you will get warts.

It's good to see a spider at night. "If you expect to live and thrive let the spider walk alive".

If you see a spider coming toward you in the morning, you will be in a fight before sundown.

If a cow chases you, by closing your fingers around your thumb and making a fist you will be safe.

Put a snake in the cider barrel and the cider will turn sweet.

If a rooster crows at the back door, death is on it's way. If a rooster crows at the front door, you will soon have visitors.

If you hear the sounds of many animals, there will be rain.

If your cat dies , get another one and give it the same name. The cat will bring luck to your family.

If you scratch your dog where the dog cannot reach it will never run away from home.

If you want to stop a dog from howling, turn your shoes upside down.

A horseshoe over the door is good luck.

When ever you see a white horse, look over your shoulder and you will see ol'Mr. Devil.

If a person touches a bird's eggs, the mother will never return to the nest.

A white dove flying overhead is a good sign. A woodpecker near your house is an even better sign.

Salt a bird's tail for a lifetime of good fortune.

It's good luck when an animal follows you home.

here we go.. Nickleback... Animals.. and Vin Diesel... wow..

Okay this is odd.. I posted it, it was there. I came back to add a video and it was gone.. NO JOKE!!!! (and just so you know.. while I was perched on my chair here at the computer the other day.. and being the only one home.. I had someone tug on my shirt sleeve form my right side and to do that someone would have had to crawl across the bed to get to the right side cause of the way my computer is set up .. and there was no one there, and yes I looked! even tho I knew no one was there! but that is not the only thing that happens in this house that is odd..... ) SO with that being said......................................

Once AGAIN>>>> here are some odd supernatural superstitions......

When two people in the same house have the same name, ghosts will stay away.

Ghosts hate new things, if you are being plagued by a ghost hang something new over your door.

Say, "what in God's name do you want?" when you first see a ghost and you will not no fear.

A baby born near midnight will have the ability to see ghosts.

A ghost will come and knock on your wall when someone in the house is going to die.

Never strike at a ghost or get mad at it. You will have very bad luck and the ghost will resent you and plague you for it.

Ghosts enoy people singing and will listen.

Graveyards at night are very lucky if you are quiet. Speak and you will be haunted for a week.

Christmas Eve is the favoured time for ghosts to walk the earth.

When horses and other animals are acting strange, they are seeing ghosts. A horse that snorts at night is seeing a ghost. Look through the ears of an animal that is looking at a ghost and you will see the ghost.

Always settle an arguement before you sleep or a ghost will come and bother you about it.

If someone sees a ghost, look over their left shoulder and you will also see the ghost.

and now for a ghost video!!!!!!
