Are
you superstitious?Nope, not at all.
Dianne, 16

Occasionally I indulge myself with
ceremonial superstitions.
Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA
Not usually. Only when it comes to my work
computer.
Laura, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
Not in the conventional sense.
Karen, 21

Yes. Black cats are servants of the devil.
Ravens foretell disaster. Friday the 13th is Black Friday. Smashing a mirror will
bring you seven years of bad luck, as will walking under a ladder.

No, superstition was created by persons who
believe in witches & in Satan. God controls everything that happens to you

I think I am a little. Like if I break a
mirror or a black kitty crosses my path, etc., I don't tend to make a big deal about it
but it is in the back of my mind. So the idea that it may ruin my day pops up.

I don't know about superstitious, but I do
pray to St. Anthony when I lose things & find them because I do pray. This is despite
the fact that I don't really believe saints can help us. I throw salt when spilt (out of
custom more really). I believe that the choice of a fortune cookie has great meaning. I
also have complete faith in the idea that machines can read our vibes and if you are mad
at the copy machine it will only jam its papers more. Same goes for computers and cars.

You're just asking because it's Friday the
13th! I claim I'm not superstitious, but I still think about holding my breath when I pass
a graveyard. I may not actually do it, but I remember hearing about inhaling ghosts when I
was younger, so I still think about it. I don't actually believe I'll inhale a ghost, but
I still pay attention to the superstition.

No, I am not superstistious. I don't
believe its bad luck to cross a black cat or good luck
to throw salt over your shoulder. I think superstistions are stupid and are just old
tales.
Heather, 15
TX USA
Yes, I think so.
Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA
Only vaguely.
Talia, 23

I do not think of myself as superstitious. I
ignore most superstitions, most of the time. They do cross my mind though and if there is
a way to avoid a superstitious situation, I find myself doing so - just in case. It is not
that I actually believe it, but more that I feel that I might as well not push it in case
there is something to it.
Deb
I can be at times. I don't really avoid
things like black cats and broken mirrors...but there's something about the number 13 that
seems to get me every time.
Fisch, 46
Preston, CT USA
compared to most i am rather
supersticious, but most of my superstitions are from
actual times when the bad luck or good luck charms worked.
Becky, 16
AUSTRALIA
strangely enough, not really. but i work in
theatre where everyone is highly superstitous so even though i'm not, i have to respect
other people's superstitions.
Ry, 23
I am not really superstitious but
sometimes I anm just a little more careful like on
Friday the 13th. But I have a daughter born on a Friday 13th. My husband says it is our
lucky day.
Marci, 56
Diamond, OH
USA
I don't
believe I am.
Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Nope. Enough things can cause problems in
life without adding superstitions to the list of what has to be dealt with.
Jane, 60
West Linn, OR
USA
Not at all. Although, I do like to read
about superstitions...it's interesting to see why people do and believe some of the crazy
things they do.
Angela, 16
Bella Vista, AR USA
Generally,
no. But I have this ridiculous notion that if you hold your breath whilst going through a
covered tunnel in a car and make a wish, the wish will come true. I've done it for years.
Fortunately, no one has ever noticed.
Shanna, 16
Cardiff ENGLAND
About
some things, but not others. I'll walk under a ladder and don't mind if that black cat
crosses my path and I'll put up an umbrella inside, but I won't pull my gray hairs in fear
of three more and I kiss the dashboard every time I go through a yellow light and a I lift
my feet when driving over railroad tracks. Who knows...some things you buy into and others
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
Nope. Although when I was a child, I tried
very hard to not step on a crack.
