Superstitions vary from culture to culture and can, at times, be puzzling. Steph Dalwin was fascinated by her mom’s Vietnamese superstition of keeping a knife under her pillow at night to keep away ghosts. So, she started doing the same thing. Dalwin is a research analyst and stand-up comedian and shared the superstition with GBH’s Stories From The Stage.
