Jamaican Superstitions


Although there has been much technological advancement over the years and the island has endured many cultural shifts.

It seems some superstitions just seem to transcend it all.

Here are a few which I can think of, if you can think of any other take the time to jot them here.



  1. If your hand middle is scratching you, it means you are going to get some money
  2. If your ears are big you will earn a fortune

This one is so notorious that there was an actual video made about it, check it out.
