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.

FINGERNAILS: It is bad luck to cut your fingernails on Friday or Sunday.
Fingernail cuttings should be saved, burned, or buried.

FISH: A fish should always be eaten from the head toward the tail.
Dream of fish: someone you know is pregnant.

FISHING: Throw back the first fish you catch then you'll be lucky the whole day fishing.
If you count the number of fish you caught, you will catch no more that day.
It's bad luck to say the word "pig" while fishing at sea

FLAG: It brings bad luck for a flag to touch the ground.

FOOT: If the bottom of your right foot itches, you are going to take a trip.

FORK: To drop a fork means a man is coming to visit.

FRIDAY: A bed changed on Friday will bring bad dreams.
Any ship that sails on Friday will have bad luck.
You should never start a trip on Friday or you will meet misfortune.
Never start to make a garment on Friday unless you can finish it the same day.

FROG: A frog brings good luck to the house it enters.
The dried body of a frog worn in a silk bag around the neck averts epilepsy and other fits.
