In pictures: Testing superstitions

1 of 7 School children from East Sussex tested their luck by trying out superstitious acts at The London Dungeon.

2 of 7 Ruth and Ciaran didn't seem too worried about walking under a ladder though - neither of them are superstitious at all!

3 of 7 Walking across the path of a black cat is considered to be unlucky.

4 of 7 Esther stands over a smashed mirror. "I'm sort of superstitious, but I'd be more worried about my mum killing me if I smashed a mirror in my house!" she said.

5 of 7 Everyone had to walk under a set of unlucky upside-down horseshoes.

6 of 7 Sam was a bit uneasy spilling salt. He said: "It's bad luck - I wouldn't really do it myself"

7 of 7 But opening an umbrella inside didn't scare Lewis at all. "It's not a big deal, I do it all the time inside" he said.
