The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

I HAD AN AUNT WHO BELIEVED WHEN YOU HAD LEFT THE HOUSE AND
STARTED TO GO SOME PLACE, IF YOU TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK
FOR SOMETHING YOU HAD FORGOTTEN, YOU WOULD HAVE BAD LUCK.
SHE BELIEVED IT SO STRONGLY, SHE REFUSED TO LET MY BROTHER
GO BACK FOR HIS WATCH, WHEN HE WAS TAKING HER SOME PLACE.
