My girlfriend is pretty superstitious and almost everything seems to have some sort of hidden meaning or sign.Often I'll ask her how she came to some conclusion and the answer will come back 'written in the hand"-palm reading.
There was a rather strange incident on Phi Phi Island about 5 years ago.
We were staying on a quiet beach away from Tonsai in some nice thatched bungalows.I woke up to find her already in the shower.She was visibly shaken up.Said she had a vivid dream of someone calling her and repeatedly asking her to follow.It was so vivid it had scared her,so she had showered and washed her hair.I figured,oh yeah,another superstition.Anyway she was really shaken up and couldn't stop talking about it.
Of course she mentioned it to some local hotel staff.After a lot of excited jabbering in Thai,we were lead to a grave-site about 200m directly behind our bungalow.Someone had passed away and was buried there.Lots of more excited jabbering,ohhing and ahhing and wide eyes.Cindy kept on showing me her arms with her goosebumps and bristling hair......
Suffice to say,that was the end of our quiet interlude on that side of Phi Phi.We had arrived by speedboat.We left on foot and trekked for about an hour and a half thru the jungle to reach Tonsaai Bay.I struggled to keep up with her.
So in answer to the question,yes,to the superstitious, these superstitions are definately true.
