Superstition.
It's out there, and it's watching every move you make. It observes, and it passes judgment. To avoid and to appease, certain acts must be completed, others shunned. Find a totem and make a wish. Right. Like that makes any logical sense. Carry a limb hacked off a perfectly innocent fluffy herbivore with a taste for carrots and lettuce. Kiss under the dried parasitic plant. Open your umbrellas outside, and do try not to drop it beforehand. Hang horseshoes overhead, and spare the ladybugs. Stay away from opals and broken mirrors.
It's odd what people will take to be omens. Bad things.
A swarm of bees surrounding a building...well, blowing up is kind of like burning down. Coincidences do occur.
A black cat darting across a well-lit street. The neighborhood has more than its share of strays. Some gray, some orange, some black. They all equally enjoy prowling across town.
A body discovered in an alley on Friday the 13th. Maybe it could have been disposed of in a better way, sure.
Cross yourselves and hurry along, mutter a prayer to keep away the evil spirits. Hold your breath for the dead. Salt over the shoulder, garlic and silver bullets. Wear a blue bead, stand in a circle. And do keep your late-night walks off my grave, please.
