Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossing of two roads and
to appear there at midnight. One pc
cullar thing about witches is that they
cannot get across running water, and
stream of any sort always acts as
a protection to the nightly prowler,
who Will follow along the bank of n
stream In preference TO the road.
These are some of the things which
are more generally believed In the

In that neighborhood are:
If you sweep your room at night,
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out Of win
