“In olden times people believed in superstitions.”
(continued from previous page)If you met a man driving a "pieball" horse and the children had the whooping cough and asked him for a cure anything he told you to get and give it to the children would cure them.
There was another practice in the olden times. If there was any articles lost in the house they would stick a yellow straw on the crook and they would get the article right away. If the dog yelled round the house at night they were sure of a death of some person in the neighbourhood. When a child was born if it had a mould over its breath it was for riches.- Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
