Brazilians are a very superstitious people, with the mix of cultures and religions coming from asia, africa and europe you can find many beliefs and this country. One funny example of that ( even funnier because my mom has place one in our beach house) is if you place a horseshoe above the main door of you house, it will bring joy to everyone who lives in the house and will keep the bad spirits away. Another one that my grandma always do is: If you have that inconvenient guest in your home who never goes even when is late at night, and you don't want to rude and ask him to go. You put a broom behind the main door and tat guest will go.
