I am very intrigued by old wives tales know of any?

Google them.

It is Wives tales not wise.

Here's one..

There has long been an old wives tale that says if a black cat walks toward you that it brings good luck. Yet, the old wives tale continues to say that if it walks away it takes all good luck and fortune with it. This is another classic old wives tale that is told many different ways, but the message is usually the same. Most children and even adults are wary when they cross the path of a black cat, yet this is an old wives tale that holds very little weight for most people.

Myths: black cat walking past you means bad luck, walk under a ladder its bad luck, horseshoes bring good luck.

Stories: Banshees, If a woman who has been hurt by a man hears one it's their turn to die or something like that.

Throwing salt over your right shoulder if spilt, to ward off demons,

Another is to say ''hello mr magpie'' and salute to it when you see one....but its all BS that will drive you nuts if you let it, especially if you have OCD
