Told me not to talk to or pet black dogs that approached me at night. There's old world superstitions about dogs being part of the fay and causing mischief to whomever acknowledges them in the darkness. I grew up with a fair amount of strange superstitions, but oddly enough when I broke a mirror as a child, my late father made me yell out "I'm not superstitious!" while wearing the Jeezus Jammies.
Weird stuff from my childhood, suince you mentioned witches and warlocks:

I'm not superstitious!" and crossed under the first ladder only to have a pile of tiles, dirt and roofing material knocked me on the head as I strolled under the second one.
I love furry black death machines called cats. :)
