This poll was really fun for me to to take and think about. Some of them I would not think twice about but others I had a lot to consider. For example, the graveyard question. I do not see anything scary in a cemetery but sleeping there for safety reasons is what I was considering. It shows that all of your thoughts towards magical things happen in your head.
This poll was interesting to take. One question I found funny personally, was the one about knocking on wood to avoid something happening, which I answered absolutely to. Although I know this does nothing, its always been a reaction of mine when I say something that could potentially jinx myself.
I think taking this poll was a good task to include in learning about this topic. I also found that it was interesting to see what the general consensus is with how people feel about the questions. I was amazed to see that not too many people knock on wood for good luck.
Most of these I do or have done before. Knocking on wood is something I definitely do a lot, even though I don’t really think I believe it works, but it has always been an instinct for me. As for ouija boards, I mostly just think they’re fun to use with friends but I have definitely had some weird experiences with them.
