Chronicles
	It’s always surprising to see to the extent to which the beliefs and superstitions that filled the everyday lives of our ancestors continue to live on. In 2006, even if few people give any credence to ghost stories, many would be unable to sleep in a cemetery! Likewise, at one point or another, we all touch wood, hang a rosary from a clothesline or avoid walking under a ladder...
	In the case of our ancestors, the supernatural was frequently cited to account for mysterious phenomenon. In this way, for example, sea monsters and will-o’-the-wisps, which populate imaginary tales, were created. In daily life, the supernatural served to provide a grip on a future that was uncertain and harrowing. The superstitious actions taken to ward off misfortune, to attract happiness or to see the future are so numerous that entire dictionaries have been written about them. Are you ready to run after the Bogeyman? Will you allow yourself to be tempted by the experience of turning tables? This new series of chronicles offers you a brief excursion into the marvelous and superstitious imaginary world of Quebecers.
