Superstition: Black cats and devils and mirrors, oh my

When you step on a crack, do you immediately worry about your mother's back? Do you avoid walking under ladders, or regularly toss salt over your shoulder? If you do, that's honestly kind of weird, but also surprisingly common. And Shane and Duncan are here to tell you why. In the latest MFFI, the boys explain the psychology behind superstition, and how the most common superstitious beliefs were formed.

• The psychology of superstition
• Cats
• Ladders

• Knock on wood
• Rabbit's feet

• ...and more
