Scratching Outside My Window

Collection:

Prompt: It is said that to keep the hag from giving you nightmares and bad sleep, you should lay a broom or rice in front of your door for her to count all night. What is a superstition or maybe a -stition you and/or your family believe in?

My family believes that before the death of a loved one occurs, you will be visited by a deceased loved one.  

Last year, Mama kept talking, telling us that she heard something outside her window every night, it would be scratching on a window for a long period of time. So, she talked about also this witch visiting her nightly.  

So, we looked at the cameras, we saw nothing, and told Mama that, and just a few days later, we got the call. Mama said, I told y’all. She said her friend that a lot of ladies, other people did not like had passed away, and they had discovered her after she had been at home deceased for over a week, and Mama said, “Now I know what the witch was and what that noise was scratching outside my window. It was just letting me know she had passed on because I was the only friend she had”.
