Throughout history, many cultures have cautioned against picking up certain objects found on the ground. These items, though seemingly harmless, are often linked to superstitions, spiritual beliefs, or the idea of lingering negative energy.
Such warnings have been passed down through generations. While some view them as folklore, others claim to have experienced strange events after disregarding these traditions.
Below are seven items that, according to popular wisdom, you should avoid picking up from the ground—along with the reasons they’re believed to bring misfortune, bad energy, or spiritual harm.
1. Bracelets or Necklaces Left on the Street
Many traditions hold that personal items like jewelry can absorb the energy of their former owner.
If dropped, these objects may carry unresolved emotions, negativity, or even be used intentionally in rituals to divert bad luck to others. Picking them up may invite that energy into your life.
2. Loose Change or Money
Though it may seem lucky to find coins or bills on the ground, some cultures warn that this money could have been symbolically discarded to sever someone else’s prosperity.
Taking it could unintentionally attract financial misfortune or take on someone else’s negative financial energy.
3. Sharp Objects Like Nails or Pins
Sharp items found on the ground—such as needles, nails, or pins—have long been associated with conflict, emotional wounds, or betrayal.
Symbolically, they represent pain or problems that could “stick” to you if taken home. It’s best to avoid touching or moving them.
4. Torn or Abandoned Photographs
