A good reminder that people ages ago were not ignorant. They were much more observant than we are today but they just did not have the technical means to test ideas. They understood how things worked even if they didn't understand the why.

On full moon is usually more busy for police & hospitals, kids seems have more energy. If the moon affects the tides of the ocean, with all the water were made of seems it would have some effect on us.

I still believe that the leaves on the trees "flipping over" is a sign it's about to rain.

[kobieravenhenderson]

I love learning when superstitions and wives tales are true like this. Keep up the great work Mike and team List 25.

Isn’t salt over shoulder only if you spill some?

[williamaldine]

I've seen the end of a rainbow once. The end of the rainbow was by the edge of a wooded area. It a really had the ground and the trees lit up a golden yellow color. No wonder they think that leprechauns hide their gold at the end of a rainbow. It really was a site to behold.

Joints feeling the weather definitely real. I'm not an old person, but I broke my foot in 5th grade. I can still feel when there is moisture in the air or when it's really cold, usually before any weather comes in. The older I've gotten, the less it happens, but it still does. Also, I'm student teaching right now and it seems like the kids are crazier than normal where there is a full moon.

Barometric pressure changes are no joke. I’m not old but I feel it sometimes

[PurpleMontez]

There was one time I found three 4-leaf clovers in one day in three different locations. And just a few months ago I found my very first 5-leaf clover in my back yard. Overall I have always been good at finding 4-leaf clovers, usually I find an average of one or two a year.🍀

Mike, apparently Friday the 13 goes back to The Knights Templar, , who were arrested on Friday 13, 1307. My youngest son was born on Fri. 13, and he is a great guy, I don't know if he's ever looked for a four leaf clover, but he was struck by lightening (he survived).

I also don't really like daylight saving time. I think it's weird that we mess with time.

I like your videos! They actually match with the titles you give them. SO MANY do not. Keep up the good work and KUDOS to you!

[Bassingal]

Dreaming of my teeth falling out used to happen to me a LOT in my 30's, when I was pursuing my career. After I quit working and took on a much more relaxed lifestyle, those dreams stopped. It's horrifying to dream about spitting out your teeth into your hand, and will wake you up in a cold sweat, unable to go back to sleep. So yes, I associate dreaming of losing teeth with extreme stress in reality. Also, on the rare occasion I now have that dream, it is during stress.

The moon thing, if the moon has such a massive impact on the oceans and other bodies of water on the earth, and our bodies are made of at least 70% water, why wouldnt it effect us?

[patticampana]

Worked in a hospital. Can tell you we had many full moon nights! Not kidding. This was nice!🙂✌️

[driggs]

Cats have also have the ability to predict storms. Sailors used to keep cats on ships because cats get the zoomies when a storm is coming.

[dawnhall]

Thanks for the video. I knew these, but it was fun listening to you, Mike. 😊❤😊

[bretmaples]

I had a girl throw gum in my hair when I was in high-school. She was mad when I didn't have to cut my hair to get it out. She said she did it because my hair was prettier than hers and she was jealous.

[robinsmith]

Throwing the salt was supposed to be throwing it in the devil's eye

[reachandler]

I've never understood the 'lucky rabbit's foot'. At school, I did a presentation on superstitions and managed to get a rabbit's foot for a visual prop. A friend asked if he could have it afterwards, I warned him the rabbit didn't have much luck, and he had 4 of them! He was really chuffed when I gave it to him, turned, took 3 steps, tripped over a bright green, knee high box and broke wrist in 2 places! 🤣🤣🤣
