for kids, dont let anyone walk over you or you'll stop growing.
also for kids, if you go out too far pathans will kidnap you and slave you for life.
dont drink milk after eating fish, said to cause severe skin probs.
regarding jinn, dont look back if you are scared.
if you measure the front of a possessed person with a string it will measure too short when you measure the rear.

good thread!
I always thought some one should make movies about our local superstitions.
NBN if you watch movie "grudge" you will understand what kind of scary story we here in pakistan.
Grudge was made in japan by japanies people.
I think asian culture is same even among supernatural entities(jins) too. hehehe
I have experience some thing too - with my eyes open And I do believe in supernatural.

and why would "visiting" soul need a candle?
what about a cup of tea or lamonade or cold lasi -- if I was a soul that what I would prefer, tea in winter lassi in sammer
Re: Typical Paki superstitions...
^lol........
I've heard about a ' thing ' called ' Bidgu Baavra '(a mystical animal)....when someone dies, and when people burry the deadbody, When night comes, Bidgu Baavra goes to that fresh grave and digs the grave, then Bidgu Baavra makes the dead person alive, then the dead person gets up and Bidgu Baavra takes the dead person with him and eats the dead person.
People lit fire at night near the fresh grave to keep the Bidgu Baavra away.
