Signs are mysterious mystical rules that guide us and warn us against danger. What is their secret, why do they act on some people, but not on others? Is it worth believing in omens at all?
Mirror and ghost
On September 13, 2005, the mother of a resident of the Perm region, Vladimir T., died of illness. In the confusion accompanying the funeral, they forgot about the old and, it would seem, well-known omen - in the house where the deceased lies, you need to hang all the mirrors. The grief-stricken man simply did not pay attention to them, and when the funeral was over, the wife and daughter caught themselves, but it was too late.
One evening, Vladimir's daughter Yulia came home from school, when her parents were not yet at home, warmed up dinner and sat down to study. The girl did not turn on the light, even when it was completely dark - she was too lazy to get up, and the glowing computer monitor completely replaced the lamp. While looking for an abstract on the desired topic on the Internet, she suddenly heard steps in the next room …
At first, Yulia was not scared, as she decided that it was from the neighbors. But when her old children's toy fell to the floor with a clang, the girl was seized with horror … Julia jumped up and immediately turned on the light. When the room lit up with him, she clearly saw on the threshold the silhouette of the late grandmother, standing with her eyes closed and fumbling around her with her hands. Julia screamed and lost consciousness …
When the girl woke up, there was no one in the room. She did not tell the parents who came to her about what had happened - although she really wanted to, but some inner voice seemed to whisper: "Be quiet, otherwise it will be worse!" And the girl was silent … for three days.

And when she told about the terrible vision, the father and mother only laughed and advised to sit at the computer less.
But soon they, too, were not up to jokes: a real nightmare began in the house - doors and floorboards began to creak for no reason, someone howled in the ventilation pipe all night long. Once, when the whole family was peacefully having dinner, the music center, TV and computer turned on by themselves. And then the father of the family, while shaving, saw the face of the deceased mother in the bathroom mirror.
After that, the family council decided to invite a parapsychologist to the house. He visited the apartment, with the help of a long meditation plunged into an altered state of consciousness, and when he left it, he said to Vladimir: “The soul of the deceased was possessed by dark forces. It happened when she saw herself dead in an uncovered mirror and was very frightened. Now for a year you must pray every day for the salvation of her soul in order to make amends for your guilt before the deceased. Everything could be fine if you covered the mirrors. Signs do not exist in vain - they help protect oneself from the wiles of the devil."
Mystical "springs of life"
A few years ago, the Budennovsky District Court of the Stavropol Territory received a statement of claim from a local resident, the mother of a two-year-old girl. She demanded that the registry office make changes to the record of the birth certificate of her daughter under the "devilish" number 666.
The press service of the Stavropol Regional Court said: “Being a believer, the plaintiff, having learned about the number of the deed, immediately wrote a statement to the registry office of the city of Budennovsk with a request to change the number of the birth certificate of her daughter. However, the registry office refused the woman to satisfy these requirements, so she applied to the court to protect her interests.
The girl's mother said that she considered the number 666 "devilish, defaming a Christian and being the seal of the Antichrist and a symbol of Satanists."
“Signs are symbols that in everyday life we use to predict future events or explain the past,” says psychoanalyst Igor Vyacheslavovich Lyakh. - All signs can be conditionally divided into two categories: generally accepted, for example, a black cat or the number 13, and individual - those that apply only to a specific person - a dress that brings bad luck, etc. It is difficult to say when signs first appeared, but it is safe to say that their number … is constantly increasing!
This fact sharply contradicts the claims that with the development of civilization and science, people become more rational and do not pay attention to such trifles as a black cat crossing the road. We remember the signs that our grandmothers told us about, and we come up with new ones that are characteristic of our time. Quite often, they do not coincide with objective reality, and sometimes something completely opposite to what the omen promised happens. However, many still believe in them unconditionally."

Marina's troubles
Once a certain Marina turned to Igor Vyacheslavovich Lyakh with complaints that she was tormented by doubts related to the upcoming wedding. The girl knew a lot of different signs, believed in them, and they all told her that there was no need to marry Mikhail. Reflecting on what was happening, she understood that the young man loved her very much, they were happy together and they should get married … but all the signs were against it!
Young people wanted to apply to the registry office, but on the way there Marina's heel broke. When they arrived, they could not sign the statement: they had to change the pen three times, since for some reason they all stopped writing. As soon as Marina went to buy a wedding dress, she broke her heel again, then in the store, during the fitting, she squeezed her skin so tightly that a bruise remained, and the seller angrily said to her: "Since you are so nervous, you probably shouldn't get married at all."
Since it was about a week before the wedding, Marina was offered to undergo an express psychoanalysis course. During it, the girl told how two years ago she met with a young man named Sergei, they were also going to apply, and her heel also broke. And the next day, at the appointed hour, Sergei did not come for her, his mobile phone did not answer, and when the girl nevertheless phoned him, it turned out that he was in a car accident.
In addition, it turned out that her maternal grandmother, Irina Gavrilovna, believed very strongly in omens. And when Marina and Sergei once came to visit her, she said that their relationship would not lead to anything good, as she sees a lot of bad omens. And so it happened: after the accident, Sergei was in the hospital, Marina visited him every day, but his feelings gradually faded away, and in the end he left her. After that, the girl developed a morbid faith in omens.
Are they our salvation?
Signs are a kind of unconscious psychological attempt to prepare for trouble. After all, popular wisdom says: "Forewarned is forearmed." It's no secret that pilots, athletes and doctors have their own marks. It is believed that sitting on a table in a hospital is a deceased person, and if an actor's text of a role falls to the floor, then he must sit on it, and then get up - otherwise the game will be bad.
It is considered a bad sign for pilots to take pictures before flying. It's a bad omen for sailors to point a finger at the sky. This threatens a storm or complete calm. And the firefighters say that if you clean your shoes while on duty, you will definitely receive a call for a fire.
You should not be surprised that many omens often come true, because most of them have a rational grain - these are a kind of "safety rules" of a psychological or physical level. They say, for example, you can't look into a broken mirror. And rightly so: picking up a splinter is simply dangerous, because you can cut yourself on sharp edges!
But by tapping on a wooden surface or holding a fig in our pocket, we are trying to protect ourselves, prevent the evil eye, and so on, that is, a mystical problem acquires a mystical solution. Following numerous signs, people try to influence processes that are difficult or impossible to influence on a practical level.
However, if you begin to see a huge number of "bad omens" around you, this indicates the presence of internal conflict and negative expectations. In this case, it makes sense to seek advice from a psychologist and find out what is the reason.
It is not known for certain whether those who often pass under the bridge when the train is crossing it have gotten more money, but signs have entered our life a long time ago and are in full control of it. They are a reflection of the inner world of a person, and if at a certain moment you completely shift the responsibility for your choice to echoes of "folk wisdom", then you should seriously think about what is wrong in your life. To believe or not to believe in omens depends on the individual choice of each, but psychologists and psychics agree here on one thing - only good is worth believing to the core!
