Excerpt from Modern Ghost Stories: A Medley of Dreams, Impressions and Spectral IllusionsOthers believe that to forget something and go back after it, is the sign of a fast coming accident, while fifty per cent. Of our housekeepers see trouble looming up ahead of them when ever their bread cracks open ih the middle, or a looking-glass is broken, or a picture falls from the wall, no matter how old or moth-eaten the cord may have been which had held it.One of the most sensible old ladies I ever knew, in other things, was in the habit of saying: My right eye-brow itches. There or, My left eye-brow itches. Some women is coming to-day to see me. Or, My ear rings dreadful loud. We shall hear of a death soon. She would say, My nose itches - I shall be angry at someone before night and, My left ear burns - somebody is talking about me! And when I would laugh at the dear old soul, and try to reason her out of such nonsense, she would declare that she never knew such signs to fail!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
