October 27, 2026

It’s hard to believe, but Halloween is this weekend! As we inch closer and closer to the holiday, thoughts of creepy crawlies and phobias come to mind. Some people carry superstitions year-round, but they seem to have a little bit more power this time of the year.
Merriam-Webster defines a superstition as “a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation,” and there are many that people can have. Maybe you grew up avoiding cracks on a sidewalk or not splitting poles with your friends. Maybe you even carry some superstitions with you to this day.
The Morning Show wants to know what your superstition is. Let us know through music!
