I don't think most people would consider their irrational beliefs superstitions.

To me, a date like 12/12/2012 is just a way to remember the date.

Although, for years I woke up at 7:11 AM. and I thought it was a tad funny. It also amazed me that my internal clock could be that accurate.

But I was raised with old wives tales and superstition being the science of our family.

I think I got rid of it all, but who knows.

I do however have habits that are so ingrained that I do them unconsciously as a reflex.

I check my wallet hundreds of times a day ((to make sure it's there). When I used to fly, I would check my ticket and schedule every 10 minutes for no real reason.

Not really superstitions, because there was no thought as I did it.

But it's hard to read the label on the bottle when you are inside the bottle.

Thanks

Nothing strange about that, it was a sugar dependency wake up call to go to your local 7/11 store to get your morning fix of coffee and donuts.

When I approach any door, I always stand a whole foot furthah back than prolly I should, which means I gotta reach forward a long way to work the handle.

Why so?

I told a real bad lie at school one day an' figured my nose would grow, jus' like Pinocchio's.

An' I don't wanna bash it noplace.

Stoopid thing is, this don't apply to drinkin' wine or smoochyin' out.

Jus' doors.

Gotta figure tho if'n I invite a vampire across my threshold I got a head start.

only reason i care i look at the clock at 11:11..hey if my clock was set for military time maybe i would care is i looked and it said 22:22 ..numerologically those are power numbers and i guess there is significance they show up in pairs ..you only notice if you are taught to notice..when many people don't give a ...

we create out personal realities ..so if these thing matter or we play to superstition.. its because maybe we feel we get more control over .. or things not in our control .. so maybe if i do a dance before and put the luck pendent in the right spot .. and turn around three time .. and say the same prayer 4 times .. before going anywhere things will go great ..

Definitely in the Michael Scott camp of "not super-stitious, but a little bit stitious."

At times it can appear boderline compulsive, but on the other hand I'm a firm believer in the power of random/recurring things that (rationally or irrationally) cue expectations of good things on the horizon

I think everyone has some mild form of OCD. When I was a kid, I really needed both light switches to "align" on the same spot for some reason.

I probably still have some quirks, but whatever works right?

Probably the term "jinx"....talking or thinking negative then it materializes....talking too positive and over confident then get the opposite outcome. Expecting something to happen a certain way because it always did and soon as you expect it on autopilot boom...does not happen as expected.

Walking with your sweetheart and not splitting poles or people...stay on same side haha.

Nearly everyone I know is bright, kind, and generous.

But if you ask enough questions, you'll find at least one nonsensical belief.

My brother-in-law is absolutely sure that he has seen ghosts. He even has photos of them. And saying "It's a reflection in a window" just makes him angry.

It's interesting to study how the mind works, and how we defend our beliefs...and how they are immune from questioning.

There was a movie where some people got stuck in the old haunted asylum where The Doctor had tortured and "ended" all the mental patients.

Would you stay over night there?

Let's go a step further. There are movies like The Haunting. The House On Haunted Hill (and its remake), and the worst haunted house movies that scare us terribly.

I want to stay there.

i want to spend the night in the room in the movie 1408.

It would be a dream come true.

I remember an episode of one of these ghost hunting documentaries (Ghost Adventures). Three or four cocky young guys went to a different place each week and were actually locked in for the night.

Most of the time not much happened or not enough to really freak them out. Except in one episode where they were filming and in a wired enclosed area in the basement a brick lifted up and moved across the enclosure by itself.

In that episode they exited through a window.

We will have to come up with some likely places to lock you away for the night. "Lock you away" has a good ring to it. :-)

I used to have a friend that watched the "ghost hunter" type shows. He kept telling me that he saw, live on air, a knife flying through the kitchen...or a chair levitate. He was convinced that the camera was actually there, capturing the event as it happened.

I told him they were re-enactments based on stories told. (as it said at the beginning of every episode) He was still convinced that it was real. "Based on real events" in ghost stories means that it is based on a story that was really told, not real events.The event was reading the story.

Some are I agree, but they are obvious, but some like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures etc pro port to be recorded live (at the time) by the investigators.

But, sadly, thanks to CGI or pressure from the TV companies wanting something to happen for the entertainment value. The investigators are at least mostly a legit group who start out with the best of intentions but get pressured to fake something. In Ghosthunters one of the principal ones left over it.

OK Don Knotts! "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"

Thing is alot of people may not see a ghost over night but a fat rat falling thru a hole in the ceiling to the floor next to you in the dark could induce heart attack.

In Chinese, the sound of the character for the number 4 shares the same sound (but different tone) as the character for to die. So, a lot of buildings just skip the 4th floor to avoid being unlucky.

I've been in hospitals where they do that and it's like the 5th floor is the 4th floor so it's not like the bad luck isn't there (if there is bad luck). But I guess people aren't reminded about it so that takes away the problem.
