Stella is still alive and would show up to reveal some of obj's secrets.

Some of the superstitions i remember from childhood:
beating a boy with a broom would make him sterile
pack dirts with ur hand and u'll have shaky hands.
People should not touch u on the head or they will place a curse on u.
if a child fall from the parents back, the first seven spouses the child has would die.
Dont pick things from the floor cos thy'v been touched by satan.

Another thing I remembered was don't point your finger at any burial ground, if you do it your fingers will be cutted by the spirits and If it happen accidently rather bitte all your finger tips. I can still remember whenever I walk pass by any burial grounds. I don't look at it at all. God have mercy on our parents oooo.

These sound more like superstitions -than rumours but no.4 is true anyway and as for no.1 , you may not see the legless ghosts but peeping toms with powerful cameras on their phones are waiting.
