It was probably started by the Victorian equivalent of the nutter, who today sends out texts/emails.
The ones which say that the message was started by a sick child in South America five years ago, and if you don't pass it on, to at leat ten other people, there'll be grave misfortune, or even a death.

Besides the few superstitions which are based on common sense, most seem to pray on human frailty, or fear.
Not being rude, just curious, are superstitions most common amongst catholics?
Both sides of my family weren't superstitious, and as far as I know, most Methodists still aren't.
Again I don't know, but in the catholic religion can't bad things be rectified, by repeating certain prayers/catchisms?
Superstitions seem to follow the same principles.
The course of the future can be altered, if you do certain things, by (religiously) following a prescribed set of rules.
