Foreword - I hope I don't upset you with my story today. I happened upon a book of items that I thought were somewhat crazy, but just had to see if anyone else thought the same. So, if you feel that my story today is a bit crazy, I share your views. Now...if you truly believe all of what you are about to read is...or could be...true, well...good luck! You may need it!
It was an ordinary day. Walking around the downtown area in Lancaster, Pennsylvania looking for a few photographs to share with one of my stories. Looked at the clock on the old Bowman Technical School building on the corner of East Chestnut and North Duke Streets and found the hands of the wall clocks have been at the same location for the last few years now. To me...it's no big deal, but to some...that's just plain bad luck! According to the philosophy of Feng Shui, it is bad luck to have a broken or stopped clock in your home or business establishment. Yeah...I know the clocks are on the outside of the building, but to many, that's just as bad as being inside the place. Feng Shui warns that keeping broken items in your home is bad luck since it represents internal and external clutter that has no place in your life. And...what's even worse is if a broken clock chimes! This signals that a death may soon befall your house. Be aware...hidden dangers in your home should never be ignored. Well, the broken clock is just the beginning of the problem as far as bad luck is concerned. If you happen to have a room painted green or have green wallpaper in your home, you could be in for trouble since synthetic green dyes could be lethal. Green items are made with a compound known as cupric hydrogen arsenic which could kill you. And for those that like to rock while they knit, feed the baby or even begin a nap...the empty rocking chair is an open invitation for evil spirits to take a seat. If a chair moves on its own, that's a sure sign that a specter has already taken residence in the house. For those that enjoy flowers and the like, having a cactus in the house is definitely bad luck for many. The prickly surfaces of cacti or similarly spiky plants can bring tension into the house and relationships. The only plant that is exempt from this rule is the rose which brings elegant blooms into the home. If you happen to forget to water your indoor plants for a month or so, they naturally will die. The plants could bring in dead energy to the home. But, there is yet one more dead thing that you should get rid of in your house besides plants. You can bet that the head of a dead animal hanging on the wall with those beady eyes just can't be good. If you are superstitious, you just have to get rid of those animal carcasses that hang on the walls and stare at you every time you walk past them. Any haunted house more than likely has a dead animal's head hanging on the wall! Another item I should share with you that could lead to bad luck is having an outdated calendar hanging on the wall or displayed in your home somewhere. The calendar could bring misfortune, curtail prosperity and even shorten your life. The final following few items you probably shouldn't have in your home if you are superstitious are an open umbrella, an unmade bed and a rocking chair. A creaky old uninhabited rocking chair is an open invitation for evil spirits to take a seat. An unmade bed can doom you to a sleepless night. If you do make your bed, make sure you smooth the sheets and fluff your pillows. An open umbrella which can protect you from the weather must be closed when it is in the house or it might be disrespectful to the guardian spirits keeping watch in your home. Lastly, if you want a home filled with positive energy, make sure all dead plants have been discarded. Nothing dead should be residing there including the patrons of the home. Well, you have now heard about the items in a home that could bring you to your knees if you are superstitious. If not, you must be one tough bugger who doesn't let anything bother them. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
