    Friday the 13th: The most baffling French superstitions

    The French have some positively unusual superstitions. Here's a selection.

    While the French may not fear the dreaded Friday the 13th as much as some others, they still remain a superstitious bunch.

    Many of their seemingly irrational beliefs match those held in other countries, like the idea that spilling salt on the table will bring bad luck. But other superstitions appear to be more unique to France.

    Here are some of the strangest.
