@mk_zvokel @forfarantiques No, of course not. Most definitions of superstition use the form of words ‘excessively credulous belief’ and if it real, the belief is not ‘excessively’ credulous.

The homes in Long Whip facing the Great Marsh Road have images of those who died upon the highway painted on them. Some say the murals are in memorial, others say they are acts of warding, art to prevent haunting. https://t.co/bh9oGCJMWI
