Seem that some superstition have international recognition !

But maybe it because Quebec is really similar to Ireland since a lot of Irish folk have shape this fine nation of mine :)

My mother was from Belfast... and you couldn't open an umbrella in the house, or put new shoes on a table in our house.... both actions brought bad luck. To break the spell of the sidhe, you turn your shirt inside out and put it on, and if you drop silverware at the table then it means someone is coming to visit... depending on what item is dropped, it could be a man, or woman.

Oh another one :

Do not ever open your umbrella in the house...you will wake the dead.

This superstition is notIrish but Quebecer...

We say : If you spill some salt on the table, yo uhave to spill some over your shoulder to avoid bad luck...

Don't pass under a ladder it bring danger with you.

My Irish Grandmother said, "If you put your shirt on inside out (accidentally), it meant you were going to have company." I have no idea how this came to be but it is a nice way of starting your day.

Well the Sidhe would be a supersition or a myth or maybe a reality for some folk ?
