Bizarre Superstitions

Warning: This is not for the faint of heart or anyone who has not had their sense of humor surgically removed.

Here are some of the most bizarre superstitious practices from around the world:

The Japanese Superstition of the Month

Every month, Japanese people believe that on the 15th of each month, the spirits of the dead return to visit their families. To ward off these spirits, they hang paper lanterns outside their homes to keep them from getting lost.

The Ancient Greek Superstition of the Day

Ancient Greeks believed that if a woman's hair was not cut for 30 days after giving birth, it would grow back as a serpent. To ward off this fate, they would cut their hair short and burn it as an offering to the gods.

The Chinese Superstition of the Hour

Chinese people believe that on the hour of the full moon, it's best not to do anything important, like getting married or making big business deals. To avoid this fate, they would often schedule important events during the new moon.
