Today is Friday the 13th of September. This is when people think that it's an evil and unlucky day. But I say it's not. My mum and I always have a good Black Friday. I always walk under ladders, chase black cats, and things like that. You may say thats unlucky, but I say not to your superstitions. There once was a man, who wanted to prove that fridays and 13's aren't unlucky, he gathered a crew and named his ship Friday, he set sail on Friday the 13th, he named himself Captain Friday. He and his crew were never seen again... By now you might have a case of friggatriskaidekaphobia, a phobia of friday the 13th. Some other wacky superstitions are... 

Find a penny pick it up...
and all day long you'll have good luck, This may arise because finding money is lucky in and of itself. But it might also be a spin-off of another old rhyme, "See a pin, pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck, See a pin, let it lay, and your luck will pass away."

Don't walk under a ladder,

Frankly, this superstition is pretty practical. Who wants to be responsible for stumbling and knocking a carpenter off his perch? But one theory holds that this superstition arises from a Christian belief in the Holy Trinity: Since a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle, 'breaking' that triangle was blasphemous.

Then again, another popular theory is that a fear of walking under a ladder has to do with its resemblance to a medieval gallows. We're sticking with the safety-first explanation for this one.

A black cat crossing your path,

This is considered bad luck because black cats were considered the shape a witches animal would take. 

Don't break that mirror.

According to folklore, breaking a mirror is a surefire way to doom yourself to seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don't just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led people in the old days of the American South to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, lest their soul be trapped inside.

Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, which may be why people have come up with countermeasures to free themselves after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or grinding the mirror shards into powder.

No umbrellas inside

… And not just because you'll poke someone's eye out. Opening an umbrella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck, though the origins of this belief are murky. Legends abound, from a story of an ancient Roman woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house collapsed, to the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months. Like the "don't walk under a ladder" superstition, this seems to be a case of a myth arising to keep people from doing something that is slightly dangerous in the first place.
