The superstitions probably came from something a bit more logical way back in the day, but got warped (as a phrase does in a game of Chinese whispers) and lost their meaning, as in the case of various old wives' tales. Personally, I'm not superstitious - I need some sort of evidence or logical connection between an act and a consequence before I'll start believing it. The think about not walking under ladders, for instance - I avoid it because if the ladder falls on me, I know it'll hurt. That, and I'm usually the same height as the ladder and would probably knock it over trying to squeeze underneath.

No, they are just distractors that can prevent those who believe in them from reaching their full potential and they are not based on any real, concrete facts.
My grandfather and his father were both born on September, Friday the 13th and nothing but great things have come to my Grandfather who is a wonderful, hard working, successful, church going man.

Of course not. If you really believe something bad is going to happen, you can subconsciously cause it to happen. There is no such thing as bad luck- most of the things that folks call bad luck are just natural consequences of their own actions. Peace to you.

When I've had a particular bad dream or nightmare I am sometimes scared of leaving the house.
