Do you leave your hat anywhere? Be careful not to summon misfortune

Your daily drop of Americanness is here!
The American Facts
The United States of America is a melting pot of cultures and traditions, which means many superstitious beliefs can be traced back to other places. Think, for example, of beliefs around black cats or cemeteries. But some superstitions were born here, out of the unique idiosyncrasies of each American region. Why is the color of a porch such a big deal? Why are the woods dangerous? Is it crucial where I place my hat? Popular wisdom has an answer for all these questions, and more.
