Episode Six: Ruthstitious

Sometimes our deepest superstitions lie in the stories told by our parents or our grandparents.

Ruth, an Indiana Quaker, had much to tell her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  Beware of people wearing purple.  Don’t put gas in your car at night.  Bubble baths can be dangerous to your health.  This episode of Superstitious takes a more personal turn, exploring why family members tell us fantasies during the process of growing up.
