So you’re a student now; you’ve decided to move out, get as far away from your parents and annoying little brother as possible and start life as an independent grown up. Then you meet your housemate for the first time - she’s in the living room turning around three times before she goes to perform in a play, just for good luck.
Later on in your year of living together you’ll find that she also salutes magpies (but only if they’re on their own), never walks under ladders and screams every time she sees a black cat. She’s isn’t mad (well not really), she’s just superstitious and she’s not alone. A UK superstition survey conducted by the University of Hertfordshire suggests that current levels of superstition in the UK are high, even amongst those with a scientific background.
Most people carry the odd lucky charm, fear the number 13, avoid breaking mirrors, touch wood and cross their fingers daily. However, some people believe in much more bizarre superstitions - as can be seen below...
10) Never kiss a man with a moustache. ‘Movember’ is going to be a very lonely month. 9) Always spit on a new bat before using it for the first time to make it lucky- obviously a sports bat; never spit at animals.
