Grandma's tales # 2

It's Monday and it's time for another one of Grandma's tales.

This week, I shall share with you the myth behind the tale of "Thou shalt not cut your nails at night".

Apparently, this superstition applies only to ladies. Specifically virgin ladies!

It was believed by our grandmas that the nails lie the elixir to everlasting youth, and that pontianaks (female vampires of ancient folklore around these regions) are able to pick up freshly cut nails at night and follow the owners of the nails and eventually track them down and suck their blood to remain youthful.

If you're a virgin and you're a lady, and you believe it then it's time to cut those nails in the day.

Personally, I think its BULLCRAP.

Till next week.

And they dare to call me Orbin.
