18 Superstitions You Need to Know if You Want Good Luck
If someone happens to be sitting/laying on the floor and blocking your ability to pass through, naturally you step over them and continue on your way. That is of course if the people you are dealing with aren’t superstitious, because if they are you better step right back over the person you just stepped over real quick and make them move out of your way before you get back to wherever it was you were going. The story behind this superstition says that the person you step over as you pass through will stop growing and remain their current height forever. Some people are so superstitious that they don’t even care if the person being stepped over is at their peak height and incapable of growing any taller, they will still make you cross back over them and walk around to pass them.

Cat Scratch
Cat Scratch is one of those spooky games kids play at sleepovers. Some examples of the spooky games are Bloody Mary, Candy Man, and the Ouija board. Although this game does not cause an evil woman to come into your mirror or demons to enter your house, if done correctly this game can still generate a good scare.

Fireflies in the Dark
Twelve Years ago... A young couple moves into a large manor on the edge of town, Rowan Manor, named for its unlikely grove of rowan trees. Unusual, as they are the only such trees to grow in the small southern town of Sentry, Missouri. Some say a European immigrant brought them over and tended them so carefully they now grew strong. At first, they seem friendly, always polite even if they had a grim demeanor. The man was almost never seen, and the woman and boy very rarely, a few rushed trips to the grocery store, or to pay the water and power bill. They always seemed in a hurry to get home.
