All countries have different types of superstitions, but here in honduras we have the next superstitions.

- Stepping on footprints left behind by horses is bad luck

-We believe in 4 leaf clovers and horshoes with seven nails bringing good luck, and making 3 wishes before a shooting star disappears

-a bride that sews her own wedding dress is a harbringer of an unhappy marriage

-Sweeping the floors during nighttime shortens your life

-You should not whistle at night, because the devil may respond

-In Central America we also have a legend called “El Cadejo”, which is the Devil’s dog. There is a black one with red eyes, created by Satan, and a white one, which was created by God. It is believed that the black one follows nocturnal travelers, especially young men who go out partying and act cocky. The white one is a protector and guide for anyone who gets pursued by the black Cadejo. If they both meet, they get into a dogfight (spoiler alert: white cadejo always wins)


 * Never whistle at night because the devil may answer.
 * Never sweep the floor at night because it may shorten the life of the person doing it.
 * People hear believe about a gastric ability you get when eating bad food(food that has been contaminated or that it's expired). Old people hear in Honduras call it "Empacho" which is just a dumb word for indigestion. Wow. Some Quora people, as my friend Sara, don't believe this is possible, but she is currently studying medicine so let's hope she knows about it soon. ***Short gag***
 * People believe that a "Sobada" can cure indigestion. If you don't know what a "Sobada" is you're probably not a Honduran. A "Sobada" is when your stomach is hard-pressed and massaged with a special cream warmed in the hands. This causes a lot of irritation and stress in your stomach prompting you to hurriedly go to a near restroom.

-Saying “Jesus” or “Salud” (bless you, gesundheit) after someone sneezes hives them bad health

-Saying your birthday candle wish to someone is bad luck

-The “13” Superstition and the black cat

-In new years we eat 12 grapes to bring us good fortune every month

so yeah there are a lot of these that are interesting so there you have honduran superstitions.
