19th Century Superstitions and Old Wives Tales

Bad luck, omens and weird coincidences. Superstitions and old wives’ tales still add some color to our lives; a lot of them are laughed off as nonsense, but there are some that seem to be, at least in part, legitimate. In the 1800’s superstitions and old wives’ tales held much more sway over society. On November 18th we’ll look at some these tales and try to see why they had power over us.
