2. English-speaking countries.
3. People should hold their breath while passing a cemetery, or they will breathe in the soul of
someone who has recently died.
4. In western culture, breath is closely connected with life. According to the Bible, God breathed
life into Adam. In other words, God created Adam by breathing soul and spirit through his
mouth. This is later combined with the fear of waking up the dead or making them jealous
simply because the passersby are alive. People then gradually develop the habit of holding
breath to prevent evil spirits from entering their bodies.
Part II
I found an interesting superstition on a website, which says that Westerners often hold their
breath when they pass by a cemetery. The reason behind it is the link between mouth and life in
Western culture. Owing to this connection, people hold their breath while passing a graveyard to keep
evil spirits out of their body.
