If a pregnant woman sees something die, like an animal
or a person, during her pregnancy the baby will have
a birth-mark in the shape of the animal or person
that she saw die.
My informant seemed quite sure about this. Someone
that she knew saw a person get hit by a car when she
was pregnant and her baby had what looked like a red
mark shaped like a person on its back.
