Superstitious stories harm our daily lives because they propagate disturbing myths told by families and friends, causing us to think differently in fear. Superstitions can affect us terribly in many ways because they can make us afraid of what activities we want to engage in in our daily lives. If you are gullible, you will likely encounter terrifying supernatural beings who could possibly ruin your life; therefore, superstitiousness can be very harmful if left unheeded, as it can make you feel paranoia. Superstitiosity is harmful in our lives because it causes more negative side effects than positive ones because it makes us think that bad luck exists the way we make it happen. When it comes to superstitious events, like Friday the 13th, many superstitious believers I know say that this day will bring them bad luck and the funny thing is, they intentionally cause bad luck to themselves. Superstitions are an excessively credulous belief in and respect for supernatural beings.

One day, Ichabod discovers that the richest man in town has a very beautiful only daughter and tries to make her fall in love with him. The girl was Katrina. Another guy named Brom wanted to avenge Ichabod for taking Katrina away from him. One amazing day, Ichabod was invited by Katrina to her party and after the party ended, he was rejected by Katrina. Ichabod then began to walk home, on the way back he heard strange noises which he believed to be the Headless Hors...... middle of paper ...... th day known as the name of karma. I believe there are many stories of superstition passed down because our ancestors experienced it but had no idea what happened to them. Same for the supernatural, anyone can believe in whatever they want, but it will still affect their life because they are always in the mysterious zone where they cannot relate unless they physically or verbally interfere with the supernatural. The overall value of superstition is that believing too much will bring you closer to the supernatural, because your brain can see anything at any time. I learned that superstition can harm you because it can lead you down an undesirable path that will scare you for the rest of your life. Superstitious beliefs are not always harmful, but most of the time they are because they can lead to scarcity where people start to forget what is happening in the real world..
