Our brains have developed to quickly Fecognize patterns and will often jump to conclusions about the relationships between patterns and events. Sometimes, these conclusions have validity, and they help us respond quickly to events, Occasionally, however, the brain will form a causal relation: between patterns and events that are not related. If a person associates unrelated conditions with specific outcomes, a superstition may develop. Paragraph 2 For example, ifa baseball player wears a certain pair of socks and has a good game, that player may make 2 conscious choice to wear that pair of socks again. If he has a few good games while wearing those socks, this will reinforce the player's association of good performance with that pair of socks. Over time, the player may Start to think that wearing the pair of socks brings good luck. This s actually common among baseball players, some of whom may even refuse to wash their “lucky” socks! Paragraph 3 Negative superstitions can be reinforced in a similar way. One common superstition is that if @ person breaks ‘a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Although breaking a mirror doesn’t truly influence a person's luck, instances of bad luck may stand out after a mirror has been broken.

Changing a belief begins with breaking the mental habits that support it. ft helps to focus on times when a good outcome occurred ‘without connection to the superstition.

On one of the last houses, ant tos far from here, someone had scratched on the wall, “The winter is a hungry wolf waiting for you to stumble.” Like most little towns, this one had a church with a graveyard. It was so cold through most of the year that. the ground was as hard a stone fo0 hard to dig graves for the dead. So, the townspeople kept the dead in Sirabove-ground building called the Holding Tomb. There they would stay until they could be buried in the spring thaw. Spring was a far-off dream through every winter, but in the year of 1863, the townspeople never got to see Pee ee A crow flew into the priest’s bedroom, frightening him, He interpreted the crow as a bad omen bf terrible blizzard to come. Overcome with fear, he begged the townspeople to leave. They had some. Rositetion at first, fearing the unknown and the fate that awaited them if they left their homes. Some of the more reasonable ones argued that the priest did not have any evidence to justify his fears. In the end, fear lon over uncertainty and they decided to flee, but they didn’t get far through the harsh mountains. They Were devoured by wolves before they made it to the shelter of the valley. It is unknown whether anyone iiivived the attack, but say that it’s better to be eaten quickly than to starve and freeze, lost and alone. When spring finally came, only the dead of the Holding Tomb remained... and there was no one left to bury Thon Ihe dead grew restless, argued with each other, and became bitter and full of resentment that the seem had been spandoned before they had received their last rites.

But they often gather around campfires like ours, watching us. They are invisible and lighter than snow, but feavy i a different way; they are hunger, they ate fear, they are the cold your body feels when you realize tat you and everyone you know will someday be dead and forgotten.
