Have you ever for some unknown reason had a strange superstition that when you did research found out just how old it was.

Well heres a nice example,
when I was younger my brother and I for no reason in particular would hold our breaths as we passed a cemetery or a hearse it was just something that we believe to be bad luck, our parents we were nuts and it was just something we always did.
Now that I am older I still find myself doing but not as often it is as if as a child my brother and I remembered something that was not really there to remember, no one told us that we just did it out of reflex.
A few years ago I stumbled on a book that had a few old superstitions in them and one of them was that people used to hold there breaths when they passed a cemetery for fear that the dead would steal there breath to feel life again.

I asked a few of my friends if they had ever done that as a child, you know thinking it was just a thing kids did at the time to scare each other, and no one had ever heard of it before
Apparently as a child my past life fears and superstitions bled over into my childhood ones, I find it more interesting than anything else and was wondering what you guys think of it?
