  1. No. I beg to differ. My mom was a Christian woman and she was superstitious. She was raised in south Alabama. My family came from Ireland, Scotland and Germany, into the south eventually. I have heard my parents say: don’t sweep under a persons feet, the rabbit running over your grave, but she said someone ran over your grave, mark an X after seeing a black cat, she’d get out of the car to do it, hang a horseshoe upright so the luck doesn’t run out, bad luck to speak bad about someone on the day they died, but I have not heard most of these. My father was raised in North Alabama in the foothills of the Smokey’s. So, yeah, there are different sayings from there too. I was raised in central Mississippi but I consider myself an Alabaman. Thanks. I enjoyed this.
