In theory, I would absolutely love to be able to pay someone to find out if some superstitions are true. I am not overly superstitious, but I still avoid walking under ladders and I do not put my purse on the ground because it is supposed to be bad luck. However much I doubt that these actions themselves bring about consequences, I do believe that if you start THINKING that bad (or good) things will happen then there is a higher probability that they will. Unfortunately though, there is no real way to test superstitions because there are so many other factors involved, so I would probably not actually pay money for such a study.

While I no longer consider myself superstitious in any way, I think that if I did hold a specific type of belief that I was sure might bear some truth, I would try to find a way to prove my suspicions. I don’t think that buying myself proof of a certain occurrence will truly help me confirm any superstitious belief I might hold. I am certain there are a number of people out there claiming to be psychics or otherwise spiritually gifted and otherworldly-inclined. But the truth is that if I personally do not believe in superstitions, then I will likely not obtain a valid answer to my questions about the supernatural and other forces effecting indescribable phenomena. I have to be honest and say that up to maybe 10 years ago, I was more than convinced (mainly due to my superstitions) that some supernatural forces existed. Now, being a more educated individual and considering everything from a more scientific perspective, I am not so sure that things exist that we can neither see or perceive in any other way nor have any proof for. For that reason, i would probably be highly suspicious of people claiming to be able to prove (for monetary compensation) that some superstitions out there do exist. Of course, if I could be presented with viable proof that I can perceive, I might just be convinced of such talents.
