A good reminder that people ages ago were not ignorant. They were much more observant than we are today but they just did not have the technical means to test ideas. They understood how things worked even if they didn't understand the why.

I still believe that the leaves on the trees "flipping over" is a sign it's about to rain.

I also don't really like daylight saving time. I think it's weird that we mess with time.

Mike, apparently Friday the 13 goes back to The Knights Templar,, who were arrested on Friday 13, 1307. My youngest son was born on Fri. 13, and he is a great guy, I don't know if he's ever looked for a four leaf clover, but he was struck by lightening (he survived).

On full moon is usually more busy for police & hospitals, kids seems have more energy. If the moon affects the tides of the ocean, with all the water were made of seems it would have some effect on us.

Isn’t salt over shoulder only if you spill some?

I've seen the end of a rainbow once. The end of the rainbow was by the edge of a wooded area. It a really had the ground and the trees lit up a golden yellow color. No wonder they think that leprechauns hide their gold at the end of a rainbow. It really was a site to behold.

Barometric pressure changes are no joke. I’m not old but I feel it sometimes

One of my great grandmas believed that if you cut your hair on a full moon, your hair would grow back faster. I'm not sure if that's superstition or not, but still a fun thing to think about.

Throwing the salt was supposed to be throwing it in the devil's eye

There was one time I found three 4-leaf clovers in one day in three different locations. And just a few months ago I found my very first 5-leaf clover in my back yard. Overall I have always been good at finding 4-leaf clovers, usually I find an average of one or two a year.🍀

Joints feeling the weather definitely real. I'm not an old person, but I broke my foot in 5th grade. I can still feel when there is moisture in the air or when it's really cold, usually before any weather comes in. The older I've gotten, the less it happens, but it still does. Also, I'm student teaching right now and it seems like the kids are crazier than normal where there is a full moon.

Cats have also have the ability to predict storms. Sailors used to keep cats on ships because cats get the zoomies when a storm is coming.

stop the madness do away with daylight saving time

Dreaming of my teeth falling out used to happen to me a LOT in my 30's, when I was pursuing my career. After I quit working and took on a much more relaxed lifestyle, those dreams stopped. It's horrifying to dream about spitting out your teeth into your hand, and will wake you up in a cold sweat, unable to go back to sleep. So yes, I associate dreaming of losing teeth with extreme stress in reality. Also, on the rare occasion I now have that dream, it is during stress.

I love learning when superstitions and wives tales are true like this. Keep up the great work Mike and team List 25.

I had a girl throw gum in my hair when I was in high-school. She was mad when I didn't have to cut my hair to get it out. She said she did it because my hair was prettier than hers and she was jealous.

So, most of them are just total BS, and the title is just clickbait. Got it.

Worked in a hospital. Can tell you we had many full moon nights! Not kidding. This was nice!🙂✌️

My birthday is on the 13th, when it comes on a Friday I usually have good luck all that year

I still knock on wood; if there's no wood around I use my head. Works every time 😉 *the barometric pressure one is furreelz. I have no cartilage in either of my knees and several of my vertebrae...I can tell 48 hours precisely before rain comes.

If you have ever worked in retail or emergency rooms you will know the full moon does effect behavior

Why is the title "25 Superstititions that Science Has Proven True" when about half were explanations about the origin of the superstitions, but with no proof of them being actually rooted in observation? Very interesting video, as always.

If a month starts on a Sunday, there will be a Friday the 13th

When my son was young, we would get in the car and go look for the end of the rainbow. The pot of gold was the many hours we spent in quality time!

Friday the 13 was very unlucky for the knights templer. That is the day the Catholic church attacked the knights temple and destroyed them. From what I understand, that's when the fear of Friday the 13th started.

And although completely off topic, the only association I can make with that last one is that it was often a running gag in many old Windex commercials, where some naughty crows would be laughing at someone’s misfortune as they walk into the door or something, falling victim to these “jokes”. 😂

I've never understood the 'lucky rabbit's foot'. At school, I did a presentation on superstitions and managed to get a rabbit's foot for a visual prop. A friend asked if he could have it afterwards, I warned him the rabbit didn't have much luck, and he had 4 of them! He was really chuffed when I gave it to him, turned, took 3 steps, tripped over a bright green, knee high box and broke wrist in 2 places! 🤣🤣🤣

That Estrin Estrogen bit KILLED ME!🤣

When I was a child I would avoid cracks because I was afraid I would break my mother's back. Lol😂

I found 2 four-leaf clovers within the same day when I was around 5 or 6, vacationing with family in Montana. Never came across others since then, but I'll never forget that day. 🍀🍀

24: I had surgery on my right knee 30 years ago and have screws through it. This happens a day before a big storm...about 10% of the time. It's an unmistakable ache. Rarely do I talk about it.

I don't like time savings either

i'm not superstitious, but i'm a little stitious.

68 years for hiccups and also the indigenous peoples also did the knock on woods and the druids in front for luck and mischief for in back it’s lucky if a wedding ring is made from a horse shoe

About the wheat and barley test it also tell the gender of the baby too depending on the wheat or barley,my aunt died in the afternoon because a dog howled across from the mental health center where I was and a few days later I learned of her death she died that day,😢 I cringe when I hear a dog howl in the afternoon now. This was in the early 2000’s when she died she was my mom’s baby sister.

Thanks for the video. I knew these ,but it was fun listening to you, Mike. 😊❤😊

I’ve tried the sugar method for hiccups didn’t work for me. What works for me every time: take a very deep breath and hold it as long as possible then exhale slowly as much as possible and hold it as long as possibly. Works for me. If I get a hiccup in between I just start again with the breathing

Number 1 made me chuckle and took me back to the funniest memory of my eldest daughter. On my wedding day, my husband and I were out on the patio at the hotel/zoo we got married at having a chat with some friends and getting fresh air, and my eldest daughter (she was 6 years old at the time, she’s 11 now) came out to ask us a question and when she went to run back indoors, she ran straight into a glass door. It was absolutely hilarious cause she full pelt ran at it. The door was so clean she didn’t realise. She left a line of dribble or snot behind in the door. So so funny. Thanks for reminding me of one of the highlight moments of our wedding reception 😂😂😂

When I was a kid, I was visiting a friend one day. The house where he lived had a sliding glass door that looked out onto an enclosed front porch. His family had a rather large white angora cat. Well, my friend and I were sitting in the living room when his older sister came into the house. Suddenly, we heard the scampering of claws on linoleum as the cat came scampering out of the kitchen in a white blur, racing like there was no tomorrow through the dining room, through the living room...and right into the sliding glass door with a resounding WHAM! Apparently, the cat had heard the sliding door open but not close again. Fun times!

I can attest to the fact that sugar cures hiccups. My husband is very smug about this - he's the one who taught me to do it. Thanks! ❤

I once saw the end of a rainbow, and it just so happened to be in Golden, Colorado.

I like your videos! They actually match with the titles you give them. SO MANY do not. Keep up the good work and KUDOS to you!

How's this for luck..? On a scavenger hunt in Jr. Highschool, I not only found a 4 leaf clover... No one else did... But before I turned the list in... I lost it. So I went back to the same clover patch... AND FOUND A SECOND ONE!.. and then lost that one!

Back when I was under 5 years old, my mom warned me that if I kept making faces it would stay stuck. Well, I kept making faces anyway. I still have a face, so that superstition is proven. That's about the exact same level of "scientific proof" provided for nearly all of the entries to this list.

I saw the end of a rainbow over an outhouse. I didn't want to know if there was gold there.

The night of a moon is when people have issues, weird things happen in restaurants or the hospital is packed. Mostly intuition. 13 floor in elevator is considered unlucky. 3 strikes you’re out,unlucky. Sharen

My youngest son has been able to predict the weather, meaning if there is rain within 15 mile radius, since he was an infant. It's called CHRONIC PAIN ❕️‼️❕️

4:14 “do they arrive more than once?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi Mike! I once had a severe case of hiccups that made it almost impossible to talk, eat, sleep or sleep. After several days, and trying every home remedy imaginable, I called my doctor. He said he would call in a prescription for me, and when I picked it up I saw it was for Thorazine, a powerful anti psychotic! I asked the pharmacist if there was a mistake, and he said no, that it is sometimes used for that. Anyway, I went home, took one and in half an hour the hiccups were gone. For some reason, the prescription was for 60 tablets, that left me with 59 tabs which I kept just in case the hiccups ever got out of hand again, or I encountered a schizophrenic in need of meds.😅

I too hate daylight savings time. Just leave the clock ALONE. Ugh

No.6 I've always known as "shepards delight/warning" basically meaning that red sky at night means it won't rain but a red sky in the morning means it'll rain later

Great video, Mike! 😁

Hiccoughs (hiccups): I tried sugar once but inhaled some during a hic. Standard medical try was to have the sufferer breath in and out in a paper bag to increase the carbon dioxide. Knock on wood: If you believe it helps, it probably will (placebo effect). Fish leaping: In the book Kon Tiki about a raft expedition across the Pacific, it mentions a flying fish nearly landing in a hot skillet in someone's hand! Walking into glass:: All the time--usually WITH a glass in my hand.

7:50 The Historic Mayflower Hotel in Akron, Ohio, actually has a clearly labeled 13th floor. It was refreshing to see a historical landmark in the Art Deco style that didn't pander to that superstition.

Years ago, I had a teacher when I had hiccups to hold my breath and swallow three times. To my surprise it worked, still does.

#22- I totally thought of that guy, too! Great minds and all... 🤜🏼💥🤛🏻

I agree with you about DST, when the sun is highest in the sky it's mid day, which means 12:00, i even leave all my clocks at GMT without the dst offset selected. Cure for hiccups ? just hold your breath, hold it long enough and they will be gone :D Actually, i do hold my breath, but do it so it's like you're trying to constantly breathe in (mouth open), works most of the time.

My mom used butter to get gum out of our hair ! We were “energetic “ kids with lots of things to do ,all four of us ! 😁Love you Mom 💗🥰

I always enjoy your work.

Feeling approaching rain/snow in old or broken bones would have far more research done about it if it weren't for the fact that medicine revolves around policies written by big insurance companies. Arthritis can be a debilitating condition, but most medical doctors are happy to dismiss a patient's suffering, since they will be paid regardless whether the patient improves. Insurance wins. Doctor wins. Patient loses all around. This is the state of healthcare here today.

I HATE daylight savings too!😂😂😂

Placebo mentality is a powerful way of thinking for things like knocking on wood or for thinking positive or for that wanting to manifest what they're thinking of.

Nice touch with the horseshoe necklace, Mike! 😉

I've felt storms in the bones of my legs and knees, even when I was a child. It would always hurt from the inside, either the night before a storm or shortly beforehand.

#22 I have another cure for hiccups, sucking on a pretzel rod. Not sure how it works, but I discovered it with a friend who got the hiccups frequently, I gave him a pretzel rod, hiccups gone. #12 it was told to me that an itchy left palm was receiving money, the right hand was to pay out money.

I love daylights saving time 😂 I might be the only one tho

Talking about feeling changes in the weather, my father was injured in WWII when, aboard ship, a hatch cover fell on his leg at the shin. Ever since then, he could sense that a storm was coming. I guess he was feeling the change in the barometric pressure.

I wish I had known about the hiccup cure a few decades earlier. I've had hiccup attacks that last for hours and become painful. Even during lung collapses. There would have been sugar available if I'd only known what it can do.

I get the hiccups often, and it can be quite frustrating. Sometimes, they just start out of the blue. I saw on the interwebs that peanut butter works. It absolutely does. Gone in seconds, works every time.

When I think of rainbows, I think of the poem, "The Rainbow Bridge. " So when I see a rainbow, I tell all the furbabies I miss that they're loved and missed😢.

Mike, I Love your Gideon Bakehouse "Black Cat Bat" t-shirt!!

It's fascinating that things are the way that they are. Keep it up. I'm subscribing. Pass the love.

I believe the 4 leaf clover part is off a smidgen. I find 4 or 5 or 6 leaf clovers in my driveway. A specific type is more like than others to grow extra leaves. Also toxic areas are more likely to create mutated clovers that tend to have extra leaves

In regards to number 15 - horseshoes...... You are correct about the superstition coming from the Celts however, in regards to hanging them in the house, when they would build their house, they would nail a horseshoe on every side of the house then finish the inside walls along with hanging a horseshoe above each door. The reason behind this was not because it was a horseshoe but instead it was a piece of iron which had a hole already in it for shoeing a horse. The Celts believed that the Faye could not enter their homes because the touch of iron could burn or if struck could kill a Faye. As it was believed that since the Faye were from another realm where no iron existed, that iron weapons or anything made from iron could stop the Faye. The only reason I know this is because I had to write a paper regarding the superstitions/myths of what is now considered Europe during my advanced Comp and Literature during my 3rd year of college back in the 1970's. So yeah, you could say my professor was pretty hip (as in a hippie - no joke!). Matter of fact when you mentioned something that astounded him or you wrote a paper he really enjoyed reading, he would say "Far out man!" And would normally give us the peace sign as we were leaving the class. He was a really cool and righteous dude! He actually made learning fun! Also when you wanted to talk to him during his office hours, you would have to go outside and walk to the secluded area he hung out at, there he would usually be smoking a joint and offering to share it with any of his students that came to see him. I just remember that during those office visits, the discussions were both wild and extremely interesting!! I certainly wish there were far more professors like him! He really cared about all of his students and would ensure that no one struggled in any of his classes! Because he would help the individuals who were having issues comprehending or if there were several students he would stop the lesson and break the class up into groups ensuring that every student who was having problems were assigned to groups where there would be several students who could help explain it in a manner that they (struggling students) may grasp easier. The only way you could fail his class is if you did not put the effort into his class! I asked him about why he does that at the end of my 4th year and he told me that he felt that if a student was trying and was failing his class that it was not the student who was failing but actually it was him as the professor that was failing because he somehow didn't connect with that student and provide the information in a manner that connected with the student. So, Professor Bill, you wild, crazy and caring man..... I truly hope the rest of your life after I left college was wonderful and that you were maintained that "Free love along with your willingness to go above and beyond to connect with people, especially all of the students who were lucky enough to have had you as an advisor and or a professor! The way you cared for everyone of your students education was truly magical! Perhaps Professor Bill you really may have been part of the Faye yourself!! R.I.P.

The five leaf clover glasses! Haha

I absolutely hate time change. Also, as I have worked as an EMT and an ER nurse for most of my medical career, I don't care what the scientific studies say, there definitely are more crazies, crimes committed, and babies born during a full moon. Whoever came up with calling crazy people lunatics after the Latin word luna for moon, was one smart cookie.

Ice also removes gum from hair! I've been using sugar to get rid of hiccups. All my life! It works!

I totally feel you on Daylight Savings Time and Disney. Pandora is beautiful at night - by design! And when they reopened after the shutdown, they chose to close Animal Kingdom the earliest. Even in winter it's been closed before you can really enjoy it.

I had a wart on my thumb when I was a kid that wouldn't go away. My mother told me to go bury one of her dish towels in the yard, and It actually worked. My wart was completely gone in 2 days.

What does it mean when your palms itch? Company's coming. Correct. What does it mean when you itch all over? They've arrived! (The Benny Hill Show)

I have a question is my constant all day yawning, the same as a bout of hiccups? I feel the two maybe similar? I feel it it's something you could LIST? Mike you are an excellent HOST.

Ur the man Mike, Lov ya man

I feel bad for laughing at my grandmother for saying it was going to rain. I can now do the same thing.

My dog will always wake me up right before an earthquake strikes if it happens in the middle of the night.

I did a research paper in high school on superstitions. And I found a lot of the stuff very interesting. I’m not really superstitious, but I don’t try to break mirrors because you just never know…😊😊

I have a four 🍀 leaved clover my son found in our front yard when he was 4, he's 28, I laminated it and I keep it with me at all times.

Laughed my ass off when you realized a baby only arrives "once." I love this channel. 👍

Yep, most of your facts surprise me. I never paid attention in school (finding out it must have been ADHD) but, if you had been my teacher I may have turned out smarter!! Your videos are great and I look forward to need ones every week!!! I seem smarter to my family and friends…😉🤪😎🥰

At the end of the rainbow its golden loght from the sun and the colors its very very beautiful

I have stood at the "end" of a rainbow. It was a profound experience, because when you reach that point, from your perspective, you're standing in the exact center of a circle of colors. This is because the rainbow isn't an arch. You're only seeing exactly half or less of a circle. Even then, if you do the math, you'll realize you're always exactly in the center bottom of a semicircle.

You the salt over your left shoulder 😂♥️

9:00 I must be extremely lucky then because I find it rather easy to find four leaf clovers. I once sat outside with my nephew and found 15 before we went back inside. My current home doesn't have any four leaf clover producing patches, but if I ride a bike down by the river, I can spot one in a patch as I go by pretty regularly. The thing is that not all clover patches can produce the four leaf mutations, and people often focus too hard when looking. It's more about looking for something that looks odd within a relatively uniform patch rather than looking at individual clovers. I used to collect four leaf clovers for a family friend and dry them before sending them to her so she could make cards with them.

I had beginner's luck once, my BFF invited me to bingo with her early last year on Wednesdays and it became a regular thing. On the first 4 or so weeks, I won £85 😁

My dog howls at night when a police car goes past with Sirens on

Already proven true recently actually .. if you believe that you can do something that's something superstitious will allow you to do .. generally will give the human mind confidence enough to try and try harder

Once my former husband and I were having a drive in light rain, and we saw a rainbow, squee! However, the rainbow was literally arching from the sky onto our car! He was driving our 2-seater, so I turned to see where the Rainbow was appearing to land... It ended in the trunk of our car! That was a one in a billion phenomena, the rain being just light enough, and the Sun at the perfect angle to see this Rainbow rising from a mile away [likely more, but how to measure such a thing?] and then coming right at us and landing in the trunk!

I learned early on to stop a baby's hiccups by touching sugar to the tip of their tongue, but never considered using sugar for this purpose as an adult.

Cool video bro
