Don't Go Near Tree At Night – If you go near the tree at night, ghost will catch hold of you. At night plants, give out carbon dioxide. If you go near it, you will inhale that. Thus this superstition was made to prevent people from practicing it.

i have to be honest and say i've never heard of this one

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed = you have a bad day.

In Roman times it was considered bad luck to get up on the left side....

in some jewish lore, they do not name their child after a living relative as the angel of death, when he comes to take the elder, may mistake the child for the one he is after. and another subjective reason is that if you name the child after a living sole, you are wishing that person IS dead, as it is common to name the child after a dead and beloved relative.

If you have the hiccups it means someone is thinking of you. The fastest way to get rid of them is to start naming people. If your hiccups stop at a certain name, that person was the one thinking of you.
Where comes this superstition from? No idea

A strong French superstition says that having 13 people around the dinner table is going to bring some ill wind your way. This superstition is believed to have come from the Last Supper, where one of the 13 diners - Judas Iscariot - ended up being a traitor. French waiters will sometimes add an egg to the table to mark a 14th "dinner guest" to fend off the bad luck

Never Say "Happy Birthday" Too Early
Celebrating or even congratulating someone on a birthday before the day arrives brings bad luck, at least in Russia that is.

In Italy bread placed upside down is considered bad luck, either on a table or in a basket. Although there are several explanations, the most popular is that the bread represents the body of Christ, and as such needs to be treated with respect.

Knock on wood

This phrase is almost like a verbal talisman, designed to ward off bad luck after tempting fate: "Breaking that mirror didn't bring me any trouble, knock on wood."

The fixation on wood may come from old myths about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross. Similar phrases abound in multiple languages, suggesting that the desire not to upset a spiteful universe is very common.

Don't make any payments on Monday, because you will have to make payments all week.
If one spider falls down on somebody in the evening, it's a sign of good luck.
If your left hand is itchy, it's a sign that you will receive money, if this happens to your right hand, this means you will have to give money to someone.
Never wish good luck to hunters, fishermen or gamblers - this is badluck for them.
If you meet someone having a full bucket of water, you will have a lucky, wonderful day.
If you spread rose petals in your home, you will calm down the house spirits and will bring back the armony in your family.
