#2 Itching palm gets you money

There is no clear evidence for the origin of this belief. However if you have an itchy palm, you are soon to become wealthy. It is believed to bring in financial gain and certain mentions regarding the same can be found in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. A character in the play is accused with the phrase ’burdened with an itchy palm’ remarking his greed for money.

#3 walking under a ladder invites bad luck

The superstition can be thought to have its base from the common notion that an open ladder may cause accident if fallen down.
