IT IS BAD LUCK TO ROCK AN EMPTY ROCKING CHAIR. THE
INFORMANT BELIEVES IN THIS STRONGLY. HE GOT FURIOUS WHEN
HIS CHILD ROCKED THE ROCKING CHAIR WITH HIS FOOT. THE
BELIEVE MEANS THAT DEATH OR A VERY BAD THING WILL HAPPEN
TO A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. THE INFORMANT SAID THAT
EVERYONE IN HIS FAMILY AND EVERYONE HE KNEW BELIEVED
THIS WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP IN PRESTONBURG, KENTUCKY.
AND IT IS STILL STRONGLY (UNDERLINED) BELIEVED.
Where learned: KENTUCKY ; PRESTONSBURG
