Do not point an unloaded gun at anyone because the evil spirits can make it fire. Do not look outside at night or you might see a ghost fire and this is bad luck. Do not whistle at night because ghosts whistle at night and they might come to you. Do not sleep with your head pointed to the north because North is the evil direction and you might die.
Dead people lie that way.
Do not step on a bear track or you will become a skinwalker. He will witch you for trying to hurt him. Do not let a strange dog follow close behind you or you might turn into a wolf man. The dog might be a skinwalker. Do not play with fire at night because it will attract witches and give you bad luck.
