Halloween Superstitions:

Is good to carry a lump of bread in your pocket when walking in the dark. You can use it as an offering to ghosts.  

Don't ever slam a door on Halloween! You might hurt a ghost, who'll haunt you for the rest of your life. 

The girls who carry a lamp to a spring of water on this night can see their future husband in the reflection. 

When you see a ghost if you walk around it nine times, it will disappear. 

If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony dies, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby. 

 If a bat flies into a house it is a sign that ghosts are about and maybe the ghost let the bat in. 

 An evil spirits can't enter your body if you hold your breath while you drive by a cemetery.

 It is a death omen when a bat flies around a house three times.

 The person born on Halloween will can see and talk to spirits.

  2. I don't know if this is specifically a Halloween superstition or if it is valid all year round... But I have heard said that iron is supposed to ward of evil spirits, so people should have iron above their doors or sleep with iron in their beds...

  3. In my culture, shallot can divert evil spirit. It's a common custom here that a shallot will be attached to baby's cloth to fight evil spirit so the baby will sleep soundly.

  8. Hmm well one superstition I know that my grandparents still follow is that after visiting a funeral service, you cant go home immediately cause the ghosts/spirits present at the service will follow you home. You have to stop over somewhere else like maybe a restaurant or a restroom :)

  10. We don't celebrate Halloween in my country, although we have the Day of the Dead at the same time. But it's a solemn occasion, a day to visit the graves of loved ones, tidy them up, light some candles, pray for them and remember them.

  28. We don't celebrate Halloween in my country, but we have a similar holy day on the 30th of November, when we celebrate St Andrew's Day.

    It is said that in that particular night all the spirits go out haunting the living beings, and if we want to be protected, we have to smear the doorways and the window casings with garlick.

  29. sorry I don't know any, we don't really Halloween in Australia

  30. I guess we are boring - no superstitions, and no traditions outside of the kids dressing up and trick-or-treating.
