An Old Belief.
In the country districts,when the people are all sitting around the turf fire,if a coal falls it is said there is a stranger coming to the house and if the stranger is not wanted,they spit on the coal.
It is said if a picture falls off the wall without any apparent reason there is bad luck approaching the house.
That if you break a mirror you will have seven years bad luck. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
