I walk under ladders too but I always look up first just in case someone's about to drop a tin of paint on my head  :)

Some of those French beauties with curly hair and black noses?   [Valais Blacknose Sheep ]

There's been a horrendous accident in my area and apparently the bereaved family lost everything in a house fire 18 months ago  :'(.  S*** really does happen  :-\  :'( being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'd guess that a lot of people have the same reaction that your husband did to the gypsy at the door, and if so then an awful lot of people would be cursed. I know my mother and grandmother would always buy heather from gypsies that came to the door, and would always try to avoid them in the town centre! I got my fortune told by one once - totally wrong on every count, so assuming their curse skills are the same as their fortune telling skills.......

My mother could read tea leaves, used to go to fortune tellers and often had premonitions. I've never tried the tea leaves, but I do have premonitions.

I have had premonitions too, usually in dreams,when i was about 15 i dreamt that my brother had fallen down a manhole, the day after he came home with his arm in a sling,he had fallen through a manhole in a roof
Lots of others as well, dreamt my now ex had an accident in his lorry ,he did, but nor serious
Re, gypsy curses, we were at a lakeside event when a gypsy was doing a strong man act,he asked for a donation from people
My ex said no, the gypsy said he would be sorry before he got home, his car tyre burst on the way home
Also one Halloween i did the thing with candle and mirror
I saw the man i would marry who i met a bout 6 months later, even to his wavy hair
I always bought  something off a gypsy who came to the door
A few years later a gypsy told me how many children i would have [6] i just laughed,no intenion of having more than 2, another told my mother " you will lose a  house through a fire  because of someone else, a year later the house we lived in which belonged to my parents caught fire, through my idiot of a husband pouring petrol from a drum next to a lit cooker, luckily we were all ok, but my daughter who was a baby at the time,i had luckily just brought downstairs from her afternoon nap

Trouble follows trouble?

There is a phrase in MotoGP "commentator's curse" : when they will be talking up how good a rider is a few moments B4 they take a tumble  ::)

when my daughter was about 8 she woke up and told us that she had a dream about a plane landing with no wheels, that evening the news reported a BA plane landing at heathrow onto foam, as the landing gear had not come down!

I am not superstitious but do believe in some psychic phenomena.

I could never understand anyone watching 'towering inferno' - my BinL raved about how good it was and I said then that people wouldn't get out of such a situation  :-\

The most strangest thing happened. Yesterday we were putting lining paper up on the chimney breast and had to move the coffee table, we put it back later. Then last night I was looking for a present I bought, it was in a white padded envelope & had been on a shelf in my wardrobe,  we couldn't find it at all, then this morning, we came downstairs,  I put the kettle on and hubby said to me " is this the envelope you were looking for?" I said " yes, where was that?" He said " on the floor behind the coffee table".  We have no explanation as to how it could have been there, about 3 months ago this envelope fell out of the wardrobe knocking a small bottle down which hit the door track and woke us up. I put mouse traps in the wardrobe in case we had a mouse that had knocked it over, we never caught any. I just have no explanation at all.  :o

Similar thing happened to me a few months ago,i couldn't find my tv remote,i always left it in the same place,i sererched everywhere,even in a very shallow drawer next to my bed,i took everything out, not there
I went into that drawer several times for other things like nail clippers and other small things, about 3 monyjs later when i opened it,there was the remote right at the front,
There was no way it could have even moved from the back or hidden under anything the drawer was too shallow i had searched that drawer,and opened it many times and not seen it,very strange

Strange things do happen for which there is sometimes no explanation . The other week my nephew and I were doing homework on the table.  We finished and were chatting and he suddenly went very quiet and said he saw someone in conservatory.  There was no one there.  He got up and said he felt hot then cold then asked me if I could hear thunder.  He went really odd.  I made light of it and told him to sit down and I’d make a drink ( he is hyper sensitive and we are very close, he’s only 11j
 We sat at the table and I had a pumpkin dish on the table with lid, been there all autumn.  It started to rattle 🤦🏻‍♀️ . I thought he’d out his phone in it or something but he hadn’t.  It was really weird.  I made light of it again and said it was a slight earth tremor as they happen sometime.  He went home. I googled earth tremors in wales. Nothing.  Really spooked me .
