... and reading through all these "old wives' sayings" shows an immense lack of real work to do!

Grew up in eastern Kentucky. Glad I'm not there anymore.....

Thank goodness those things do not affect me in the slightest.
Really, all these things are in the mind, and if you lean towards it, you create their manifestation by your sub-conscious and its resulting actions.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

I really do recognize many of those superstitions. My mom was very superstitious but as far as I know she was not from Appalachia but I'm guessing she may have had ancestors who were. Also many of the terms used in that video I have heard. Some bring back fond memories. Thanks for posting them.

In the Angelfire list, there were only a few that I had never heard.

I take issue with number 56. It must be hung in a bush or tree, belly up. :gramps:
