Answer 2

Hope this list helps you...

Unlucky
Friday the 13th
The number 13 (Many buildings skipped 13 when numbering their floors for this reason)
A Black cat crossing your path
Stepping on a crack (the mothers back will break; rhymed as "step on a crack, break your mothers back")
Stepping on a line in pavement or floor cover (similar to above, rhymed as "step on a line, you'll break your spine")
Breaking a mirror (seven years bad luck)
Spilling over salt (When salt was more precious than gold, if you spilt some it meant that a demon was trying to steal your salt, but by appeasing it with a little salt over your left shoulder the demon would leave)
Putting a hat on a bed
Opening an umbrella indoors
Killing a ladybug/ladybird
Killing a spider in your home
Walking underneath a ladder (when being hanged, the condemned man would often be made to pass underneath a ladder before climbing it and onto the gallows)
Note that walking under ladders that are in use is unlucky because it is dangerous

Saying "good luck"
Replying "thank you" to someone wishing you good luck
Picking up a penny face-down (can be avoided by giving the penny away)
Putting shoes on a table. In the UK, this is considered to bring extremely bad luck, traditionally the death of a person in the house. This is sometimes specified to only be unlucky when new shoes are put on a table
In the British Navy it was traditionally considered unlucky to have a woman on board ship, although this may be a more practical matter.
Among sailors it is considered unlucky to kill an albatross or a porpoise
Among sailors it is considered bad luck to have anything blue aboard
Saying "good luck" to an actor going onstage (the preferred expresion is: Break a leg)
In theaters, "Macbeth" must not be uttered by anyone unless it is necessary to the show. For example, if the company is performing Shakespeares Macbeth, one says "the Scottish Play" and refers to the characters as "Mackers" and "Lady Mackers"
Sinistrality (being left-handed)
Seeing one magpie
A bird flys into your window (a person in your family will die today, or has died last night). In some variants, it is believed to only be bad luck if the bird dies.
Using a Ouja board; it is believed by some to attract bad spirits
In some areas it is believed to be bad luck to kill a mockingbird; this becomes a part (albeit not a large part) of the story To Kill A Mockingbird, as well as inspiring the title.
