I am sure glad I don't believe in superstitions.. Otherwise I still have another 50-odd years of bad luck for all those broken mirrors...
I would have to say the whole 'bless you' thing you say when someone sneezes. It is based on the superstition that when you sneeze it is your soul trying to escape. When someone says 'bless you' it supposedly keeps you soul from escaping.

It's the superstition that the number thirteen brings bad luck. We got this superstition from the ancient Romans. Triskaidekaphobia- the fear of thirteen

That you are going to lose your soul when you sneeze. This is evidenced by the fact that nearly everyone the world over says some sort of "Bless you" to a person that sneezes. This "Bless you" keeps the soul from leaving the body.

the most common superstition is probably that black cats crossing your path brings bad luck.

Black cats crossing your path and perhaps walking under a ladder. Walking under a ladder may be for cause like falling hammers.

13 is bad luck.
How do you think all those Friday the 13th movies had a bazillion sequals.

Another one is the stepping on a crack on Friday the 13th. Of course that isn't true.
