Since I was a child, most elders are kept on telling young ones that black cats are a sign of bad luck. Is it a myth?

In my community, since when I was young, I was told that they are used with witches, wizards and sorcerers in their demonic works. That has been in our history since then and many people do fear black cats. Even in movies black cats are used so much

Occultism and witchcraft are usually associated with the colour black. That might be the reason. Night too because is dark is regarded as time of evil.

This is a myth. This myth originated from a European folklore. An ancient legend said that if a black cat crossed in front of your path, then it can mean bad luck or even death. This opinion is not worldwide and is limited to particular cultures. Some cultures actually believe black cats can do the opposite and give you good luck.

In many cultures, black cats are associated with superstitions, such as bad luck, witchcraft, and even death. These superstitions are largely unfounded, and black cats are no more likely to bring bad luck than any other color of cat.

In some European folklore, black cats are considered common companions of witches and bringers of misfortune if they happened to cross your path. In contrast, Welsh folklore depicts black cats would bring luck to a home and could even be a reliable weather predictor (3).
