Superstitions

Everyone has superstitions that they believe in from opening umbrella’s inside to walking under ladders and black cats crossing their path. The only one I really have is the opening umbrella’s inside. I cringe when I see someone doing that or if I find one laying around on the floor at work in the kids department. {I work in retail, lol} Superstitions are commonly associated with the beliefs of good and bad luck, as well as the predictions of the future.

Here are some common superstitions everyone has heard of…

* Friday 13th : This is supposed to be an unlucky day. There are some who refuse to leave the house on this day and most places don’t acknowledge a 13th floor or room. ** Personally I have always had wonderful luck on Friday 13th’s. **

* Rabbits Feet bring good luck? In many cultures rabbits were considered to be associated with prosperity and good luck so therefore keeping one of it’s feet was also considered to bring good luck.

* An apple a day keeps the doctor away : These tasty treats contain Vitamin C. They also aid the immune system, and reduce tooth decay by cleaning one’s teeth and killing off the bacteria that has built up on your teeth.

* To find a four-leaf clover is to find good luck : The four leaves on the clover represent faith, love, hope and luck. The clover was also used to ward off evil.

* If a black cat crosses your path you will have bad luck : Egyptians once considered cats to be sacred. Depending on the countries will depend on the superstition. ** I have a black cat and have never had any sort of bad luck while owning one.**

** If you walk under a ladder, you will have bad luck : I’m not really superstitious about this one. I just prefer not to walk under them because one can get hurt by doing so. **

The Grays and the Hills

I was in a chat room a while back. The main topic was on how aliens move among us disguised as normal human beings. They say that we normal humans can’t tell that they are here, but those who have been abducted can tell.

I find this concept fascinating and would love to meet one if that is true.. though not in an abduction sort of way. I am a firm believer that they are real, but I am also a scared skeptic because I don’t want to be taken. I’m a “Gotta see it to believe it” when it comes to aliens mingling among us here on Earth.

Aliens known as The Grays are reported as being able to pass through the walls and through windows that are closed as well. There are some folks in the alien world who believe that the Grays are responsible for a majority of the alien abductions that have taken place around the world.

The Grays also have the ability to play with the emotions of humans. It’s said that they know the thoughts and have the ability to pick out the emotions of the human’s that they have abducted. There is a famous abduction case from 1958 of Betty and Barney Hill were rumored to have been abducted by the Grays.

Betty and Barney Hill resided in New Hampshire, in September 1958 they are abducted by Aliens as they were returning home from a vacation. Betty worked as a social worker and Barney was a postal worker, they were also an interracial couple, he was African American and she was Caucasian.

They were missing quite a bit of time and had no memory of what happened to them during that missing time. It was through hypnosis of the couple that their Psychiatrist has stated that he thinks the whole thing came up because of Betty’s dreams of Aliens and UFO’s. There are many who don’t believe that they were abducted at all and have accused them of making things up.

Their family however stand by what the Hills have said and are supporting them despite the fact that both have long since passed on. Barney Hill had died of a brain hemorage on Feb 25,1969 at 46 years old, while Betty passed away of cancer at 85 years old on Oct 17, 2004.

There was a television series in 1996 that is based on their experiences called “Dark Skies”, Barney is portrayed by James Earl Jones and Betty is portrayed by Estelle Parsons.
