    6. If person is going to a fair or market and if his coat or hat touches a bush on the side of the road then he will have bad luck on that day.
    7. When the children were to make a bonfire the people would not give them a coal as they say that it would bring them bad luck. Before the bonfire is quenched some people take a coal from it and they throw the coal in the potato field to keep away the blight.
