In the night

Thank you. In the night is also correct. But I believe IN THE Night gives a more specific/detailed time during the night time while, AT Night is a more wider time frame from when darkness covers the skies to first daylight.
So I stand by my AT Night.
If you have a better explanation for your IN the Night, I will like to hear it. I am open to learning new things.

people who are born with piercing on their ears have been to this world before


I know of someone with piercing on his ear since we were kids.


He said that's how he's born.

Does it mean that he has been to this world before

Superstition is the belief in supernatural
causality that one event causes another
without any natural process linking the two
events.

Here is a list of 10 superstitions chosen based
on how ridiculous, widespread and comical
they are:

1. Hitting your left leg on a stone is seen as
an evil omen or warning to turn back from
where ever the person might be going. This
omen is taken seriously and the journey is
usually forfeited for the future. Failure to
heed the warning could lead to possibly loss
of life.

2. Don’t drink the water from a coconut else
you automatically become an olodo.

3. It is not a good idea to whistle at night.
There is this belief that such whistling
attracts snakes to the whistler.

4. Don’t allow people to crossover your hand
or leg,else you will give birth to a child with
one hand or leg.

5. Owls hooting on a rooftop or on a nearby
tree is a bad omen as it is believed that
someone in that house will soon die.

6. If your hands are itching without reason, it
is believed that some kind of fortune is about
to come your way.

7.Eating in the dark is forbidden. It is believed
that such act could give room to the dead to
eat with you and this could lead to your death
or grave ailments.

8. If you spit on the floor and someone
steps on it you will have sore throat.

9. Don’t bend over and look through your legs
in public, you may see witches.

10. Hitting a man with a broom would make
him impotent. It is believed that if a man is
hit with a broom he becomes impotent until
he retaliates by hitting the person back with a
broom seven times.
No. 6 has actually happened to me.it was quite surprising how money came into my hand without me even making any little effort.
