- (continued from previous page)woman is supposed to come and if a spoon falls a child is coming to the house.
When a person would die all the clocks in the house would be stopped and the doors left open for the soul to go free.
The people long ago would not sweep out a floor or throw out water or ashes on New Years Eve.
When a storm arose the old people used to throw the shar of a plough behind the fire on the hearth to still the winds.
If your ear is hot a person is supposed to be backbiting.- Collector
