Superstitions That Still Many People Believe
Superstitions is not only a word its a kind of illness that shouldn't spread among people. With the time there are many superstitions gone but you may wonder that there are many superstations still exist in many society. I thought the superstition that only still exist is not an international one but when I make a search I found it came from foreign area and still exist in my native society.
Bellow I've added the very common superstition that still people believe and alert others. I've added the source where you can find more common and international superstitions. This is about Black cats and it consider as the source of negative energy, also has different description which is not true.
Though cats have often been associated with good luck rather than its opposite and were even worshipped as gods in Ancient Egypt, things took a turn for the worse for our dark-colored feline friends sometime around the Dark Ages when, in 1232 AD, a papal bull by Pope Gregory IX declared them an “incarnation of Satan”, according to People magazine. Things only went downhill for black cats from there, with people of the Middle Ages burning them in bonfires on Holy Days like Shrove Tuesday, the first Sunday of Lent, and even Easter, and with the Puritans in America connecting them to the practice of witchcraft. Also, the color black has long been associated with evil and death, which didn’t help matters for our furry friends who had the misfortune of being born the color of night. source
Cats are cutest animal I've ever seen but black cats look a little different and some people find it ugly. But I don't. Once our neighbor had a black healthy cat which I often adore and fed different kind of food. My family heard that black cats are the devil in disguise and it is the source of negative energy. I don't know how people explain such superstitions which is flimsy.
This protest against the conventional superstition not because I've a soft corner in my heart for cats but because we shouldn't believe in superstitions that doesn't bring anything good for us. If we believe that black cats are devil and abuse them because they are black, is that good? Animal abuse is inhuman and we can't name animals base on having misconception or believing in superstitions. I'm a human and it hurt me. I can't believe that the adorable animal could be source of negative energy.
Many horror movies based on superstition concepts and It has bad impact on many people. Many people believe that movies are always from real story but not like that, it could be fictional and most of the superstitions was born from the fiction and bad imagination. Broken mirror, lucky sever and there are many common superstition which is baseless like other superstitions. A number how could be lucky? A black cat how could be source of negative energy? We should take time and rethink before believing all these superstitions.
Sick people spread and believe superstitions and make others sick like them. Many horror story add black cat to make the environment more horrible but it has no logic that black cats are source of negative energy or something bad. Cats are born cute animal and black cats are also innocent and its all about our believe. We can find negative things in positive if we want, likely we can find positive things in negative and its a kind of mind game nothing more than that. I'm proud of me that I don't believe in such superstitions and I black cats are not scary to me, I love them too. What about you?

Interesting post. Sometimes we also get into these superstitions when we travel with elderly people. In India its quite prevalent when any cat crosses your path. Its said that its a bad omen and one shouldnot continue on that path and should wait for some one else to go and then oly they should proceed.
Here, I also want to add about one much prevailed superstition. This is so much into the society that sometimes its also not treated as a superstition. Everyone must have heard about it in one way or the other. But in modern society people believe in it soooo much.
Here, I am talking about EVIL EYE.

It is prevalent in many cultures around the world. In India, it is believed that the evil eye can cause harm, sickness, or even death. To protect against the evil eye, people often wear amulets, bracelets, or necklaces with the image of an eye or a blue bead. Around the world, I think everyone must have atleast once came across that or they may have but passed unknowingly.

The evil eye, known as 'NAZAR' in India, is a common superstition that has been prevalent in Indian culture for centuries. It is believed that someone who possesses an envious or jealous nature can cast a malevolent gaze upon another person, causing them harm, misfortune or bad luck. This belief is deeply rooted in Indian society and is still widely believed in by many people, not only in rural but in urban and metro cities as well.
This can lead to various forms of misfortune, such as illness, financial problems, or relationship issues.
To ward off the evil eye, there are various traditional remedies that are commonly practiced in India. For example, many people wear amulets or charms that are believed to protect them from the evil eye. These amulets can take many forms, such as black beads, silver or gold jewelry, or even red or black strings tied around the wrist or neck.
While it may seem harmless to some, it can have serious consequences in certain cases. So, as far as I go, I have not experienced this but have seen many houses in India having image of an eye in Blue Tone on their entrance and also in their common room for guests. I have also seen Mukhauta of devils hanging in front of houses in India.
Yes I'm familiar with "Buri Nazar" type superstitions in India. I saw it in indian daily soaps opera. Thanks for adding more. Hope our society will be free from such superstitions someday!
