Halloween Superstitions:
Is good to carry a lump of bread in your pocket when walking in the dark. You can use it as an offering to ghosts.
Don't ever slam a door on Halloween! You might hurt a ghost, who'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
The girls who carry a lamp to a spring of water on this night can see their future husband in the reflection.
When you see a ghost if you walk around it nine times, it will disappear.
If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony dies, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby.
If a bat flies into a house it is a sign that ghosts are about and maybe the ghost let the bat in.
An evil spirits can't enter your body if you hold your breath while you drive by a cemetery.
It is a death omen when a bat flies around a house three times.
The person born on Halloween will can see and talk to spirits.

I don't know if this is specifically a Halloween superstition or if it is valid all year round... But I have heard said that iron is supposed to ward of evil spirits, so people should have iron above their doors or sleep with iron in their beds...
In my culture, shallot can divert evil spirit. It's a common custom here that a shallot will be attached to baby's cloth to fight evil spirit so the baby will sleep soundly.
I'm sure I have heard some, but I really can't remember any at the moment :/
Also, thanks for the giveaway!
As far as I know, you are not allowed to look back if you hear steps behind you. It might be death ;)
Thanks for joining the hop and great post!!!
I know that you have to lock all your windows and doors so ghosts can't slip in your house
no haloween in indonesia..sad :(
Hmm well one superstition I know that my grandparents still follow is that after visiting a funeral service, you cant go home immediately cause the ghosts/spirits present at the service will follow you home. You have to stop over somewhere else like maybe a restaurant or a restroom :)
i dont know that this is for halloween only, but the bloody mary one? that you have to say 3 times her name in front of a mirror and a girl appeared....i saw it in some movies!
thanks for always make this giveaways international!
We don't celebrate Halloween in my country, although we have the Day of the Dead at the same time. But it's a solemn occasion, a day to visit the graves of loved ones, tidy them up, light some candles, pray for them and remember them.
Pumpkin carving
Always been told death is behind you.. funny but I always wonder..lol
Love to read Ashley Nemer's books.. ;)
I heard that you can also see the face of your future husband or wife if you face the mirror with a lighted candle at midnight.
Don't play hide and seek in the dark becausse you might get an unwanted player.
No, not really. Halloween isn't that big in my country.
i wait to read Niki Becker's The Cafe
and i dont have superstitions
No halloween in india :(
But i just love all the spooky stuff about it (esp. since its right around my birthday) Tee hee hee :D
hmm: Watch out for black cats, don't look in mirrors after midnight.
Trick or Treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat is something kids will say on Hallowe'en.
No,I don't,sorry,we don't celebrate Halloween in our country :/
Thanks for always amazing giveaways :)
We don't celebrate Halloween in here either.
Im most excited to read Niki Becker's The Cafe!
Sprinkling salt on doorways and windows will keep away any unwanted spooky creatures from the other world invading your home. :D
I think I am most excited to read Stacey Mprans Blood Myth and I am a bit supersticious . I think you create what you think so you have to be careful what you think sometimes lol
When growing up we had running water near our house and my mom would tells us to be careful because of the crying women of the running water. It was year long but worse at hollween because of all the kids running around.
I'm not superstitious but know somethings can't be explained. I have always been curious about the supposed ghost houses.
Niente. Nicht. Nothing. Sorry :)
I am not generally superstitious, but Halloween would not be Halloween without chocolate LOL
We don't celebrate Halloween in my country, but we have a similar holy day on the 30th of November, when we celebrate St Andrew's Day.
It is said that in that particular night all the spirits go out haunting the living beings, and if we want to be protected, we have to smear the doorways and the window casings with garlick.
sorry I don't know any, we don't really Halloween in Australia
I guess we are boring - no superstitions, and no traditions outside of the kids dressing up and trick-or-treating.
