  2. Some Old Beliefs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago when old people got their hair cut they would gather up all the hair and put it into a hole in the wall because they believed, if the crows got it to build their nests the persons head would get bald.
    Never hit anyone with a broom or if you do you will have no luck.
    If you bring a hazel stick with you at night it is supposed to keep away ghosts.
