Superstitions have probably been present among us since time immortal. Most of the superstitions origins have been lost within the mists of time, but there are some that you can probably guess the reasons for, - e.g, not walking under a ladder makes sense as someone may be working at the top of it & something may fall on you! You will find listed below a collection of superstitions that are still with us today & probably observed by millions world-wide! This is by no means an exhaustive list as there is literally thousands of superstitions out there!
