chillies in front of their shops can scares

…..
Well it may be true

Then wat is that?
…….
Both lemon and chillies are rich in Vitamin
C. So when a cotton thread is pierced through
these substances, the cotton absorbs their
nutrients and gradually vaporize them in air.
Inhaling this air has health benefits.
Besides, the aroma (smell) from lemon and
chillies keep insects and other pests away
from the place.

to keep microbes away, as there were no pesticides
back then.

Do not sleep under a peepal tree at night
People believes that Ghost lives on Peepal
Tree and will haunt you if you go near to
Peepal Tree at night because Ghosts are believed
to be active at night.
That's why People ignores to go near and sleep
under Peepal Tree at night.
This believe still carry on in this modern
era.
Is tat true do ghost really exist there
Are there any scientific reason behind following
this?
Yeah everything has a science behind it similarly
even this has a scientific reason behind this
What is that let us find out
During the day, in presence of sunlight, the
plants use up the carbon dioxide and release
Oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
But during night, plants won’t perform photosynthesis
so they are unable to use the Carbon dioxide
and this further leads to increase in the
proportion of Carbon dioxide in the air.
During night the trees breathe in oxygen and
release carbon dioxide.
If one sleeps under the trees, the amount
of increased carbon dioxide in the air around
will certainly affect the health.
So it is inadvisable to sleep under trees
during night.
He suffers from suffocation.
He feels excess weight on his chest.
For this reason, some rural people imagine
and fear that ghosts would come and sit on
their chests if they sleep under Peepal or
Banyan trees.

The Black Cat Superstitions
You might have heard this one your elders
saying that if a black coloured cat crosses
your path then this may cause delay in your
work or even it may lead you to death and
it is unlucky to have black coloured cat as
your pet
But why is tat
Is that true??
Let us find out
….
All the way back in ancient Egypt, cats of
all colours were respected and treated equally
cats were so loved that killing them could
mean a death penalty
But as Christianity spread over Europe all
the religious symbols like roman gods and
Egyptian cats were considered as bad omens.
This fear of black cat has reached its peak
in Rome when an Christian pope considered
Black Coloured cats as Devils on earth on
cat form
Eager ill-informed Christians took the popes
word and started gathering cats from all over
the Europe and started burning alive
This cruel punishment for those black coloured
cats led to extension of cats in many parts
of Europe
But this did not end here, the fact that cat
is a devil made them to connect with another
medieval myth Witches . Tats right many people
believed that black cats are witches in the
sky
Having a black cat crossing from your left
to right was seen as extra bad omen!
And in the later 1692 just owning a black
cat was enough to get accused of being
a witch
