Superstition is an irrational belief of what is unknown. It is an unscientific blind faith. There is no reason in superstition. It is very much mysterious.
                                             Many people are superstitious even in this scientific age. They believe in magic, witchcraft, ghost and other unnatural things. There are many superstitions in our society. In our journey, if we find a women carrying an empty pot, we say that it is the sign of bad omen. It brings no success in our aim. If a black cat crosses a road in front of us, it is also the sign of destruction. We believe that when a spider hangs on somewhere in our house the guests will come. A widow at sight also is to bring us bad luck.
                               
                           Even the educated people believe in these blind faiths. Though they can not give reasons, they have got the stamp of superstition in their minds. they are afraid of these things. The traditional people are more fearful in this case. Sometimes,superstition has bad effect on human psychology. human mind is affected very badly and the man becomes sick, mad or dies at last. So, the man can be the victim of superstition.
       
                       Superstition is very powerful in all societies. We can not avoid it from the society.
