I will say I'm not but still have to throw salt over my shoulder if I spill some. I think sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry

I think people have superstitions because sometimes they get bored and creating a superstition is the easiest way of inventing something, as superstition i my opinion are a stupid matter.
Although I admit that often I have superstition just for fun, like the grapes in New Years Eve (in Spain), the red underwear, the black cat etc.
It´s not a bad thing, as long as you don´t get obsessed with it.

Yes, I believe in some of them. For example, wishing on a star. I believe that connecting your thoughts with a potential higher being making themselves known in the evening sky is a very romantic thought and so I choose to believe it could be true. I also make a wish on a fallen eye lash. I've checked out this website before. I've also used some of the superstitions in my fiction books I've written.

sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Superstitions are true only when you believe in them and when you ignore them they aren't true. for example, if you see a black cat and you expect something bad to happen, then a bad thing will surely happen but if you ignore the cat nothing bad will happen. If you don't belive try it...
