It is believed that if you hung a horseshoe at the front of your house then Evil forces will remain far from you.

Now have a look at the conversation between Niels Bohr and an unknown man.

After seeing a Horseshoe hung outside Niels Bohr's  house the man asked Bohr that even being a scientist how could he believe in all this superstition . Bohr replied that he didn't believe in it . Then the man asked why he had hung horseshoe then . Bohr replied that he had been told that it works even if you don't believe in it.
