Geocache Description:


Remember as a kid when we wouldn't step on a crack for fear breaking our mother's backs? Here's a series of caches sharing some of well known and little known superstitions that are out there.

Candle: If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony blows out, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby

Calf: If the first calf born during the winter is white the winter will be a bad one

Cat: If a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it takes the good luck with it.
Keep cats away from babies because they “suck the breath” of the child.
A cat on board a ship is considered to bring luck

Cheeks: If you cheeks suddenly feel on fire, someone is talking about you

Chill: If you get a chill up your back or goose bumps, it means that someone is walking over your grave

Chimney Sweep: It’s very lucky to meet a chimney sweep by chance. Make a wish when sighting one and the wish will come true

Cigarettes: It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match

Circle: Evil spirits can’t harm you when you stand inside a circle.

Clock: If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, there will be a death in the family.

Clover: It’s good luck to find a four-leaf clover
Clover protects human beings and animals from the spell of magicians and the wiles of fairies and brings good luck to those who keep it in the house

Coin: It’s bad luck to pick up a coin if its tails side up. Good luck some if its heads up

Comb: To drop a comb while you are combing your hair is a sign of a coming disappointment

Cough: To cure a cough: take a hair from the coughing person’s head, put it between two slices of buttered bread, feed it to a dog, and say, “Eat well you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.”

Cow: Cows lifting their tails is a sure sign that rain is coming.

Crack: Don’t step on a crack on a sidewalk or walkway. Step on a crack break your mother’s back.

Cricket: A cricket in the house brings good luck.

Counting Crows: One’s bad, two’s luck, three’s health, four’s wealth, five’s sickness, six is death.
