Walking Under A Ladder

from Superstitions and Traditions Hosted by Kristen and Carol

Send us Fan Mail Well, apparently the superstition of walking under a ladder had absolutely nothing to do with the safety of the walker or the ladder climber...the Egyptians had ladder concerns 5000 years before OSHA's existence. Find out all about the ladder needs of the entombed Egyptian mummies and how Christianity and the gallows influenced this superstition. Support the show Thanks for listening!
