My grandma and Mom was superstition to a point. I remember ppl saying if a black Cat crossed your path to mark X’s and I did it got many years as a young kid and teenager and into my 20’s but I then realized that a black Cat was just a normal Cat, nothing evil about one. I love scary movies also, my favorite besides Christian movies. I love Halloween but I also fear what mean will do to poor black Cats that have done nothing wrong in the world…..it’s a sick messed up world. Anyone that could hurt a Cat is pure evil, just plain evil. I love Cats, all Cats. I remember that when you’re out in the woods and you hear something behind you whistle to never look back and never whistle back. Walking under a ladder was bad luck. Some sweeping under your feet met you’d never get married. Some ppl would put the master of the home (usually a husband) shoes at the door at nighttime to keep bad stuff from coming inside. Some put salt across the floor to keep evil spirits out. I’ll try to remember some more and message you. It’d be so cool to meet you. When you done the Abingdon, VA, video on the Martha Washington Inn, I knew those stories too. I lived in Whitetop, VA growing up until I got married and moved away (even though it didn’t work, he was a cheater) but I stayed in NC after that. Ashe County, NC, and there’s some scary tales there also. Have you ever heard of Devil’s Stair in Warrensville, NC, google it. They always said, “if you go through the road when they were at midnight that the devil would get into the car and ride with you…….I know I always went a different road if I knew I was out that late at nighttime. I’ll have to think on some more tales from Ashe County, NC and message you.
