Sunshine: Welcome to The Superstition tonight we will be talking about superstition and where they originated from. Ok so some people think that superstitions are only bad but there are good or fun superstitions like in Denmark they save their broken dishes for new year's eve to throw them at their family and friends house to wish them luck for the next year but some danish kids opt to leave broken piles of plates at their friends and family doors instead of throwing for a less violent manner of wishing them a happy new year. I don't know exactly where this tradition or superstition came from but I do know that it sounds very cool and I wish we could do it. Ok so there are good superstitions but there are also bad ones like if a black cat crosses your path you are “doomed” black cats are apparently doomed because in the middle ages they were associated with witches and when a black cat crosses your path a curse is put on you. Fun fact in the olden days they were very anti-witch so if someone thought someone else was a witch they would burn them and if they burned they were innocent people and if they didn't burn they were a witch.

Ok back to superstitions one of the most popular superstitions is the Friday 13th superstitions and most people don't know know what it is so the Friday 13th superstitions is  The Associate Policy Scientist from the University of Delaware says that people often perceive

• 12 to be a "safe" number- after all, there are 12 months in a year, 12 zodiac signs, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus . . . So on and so forth. This results in the belief that the number that follows is incomplete, and, therefore, "unlucky."   
• There is a photo that I found It says Happy Friday 13th don't walk under any ladders don't break and mirrors don't spill any salt dot open an umbrella inside don't pick up a coin facing upside down and don't let a black cat cross your path

Here is a video of why Friday 13th is unlucky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr_fOOjpt7Q
