If we happen to cross paths with a black cat or walk under a ladder or see an owl hoot in daylight, should we try to shoo the owl away before it hoots? Or should we pray to God for protection or just not worry about it and act as if nothing happened? Or should we regard them as false and not worry about them and act as if nothing happened?

There is no reason to react in any way different than from any other animal or bird. You should lift your heart in prayer at all times, not just because of an irrational fear. All these superstitions are false perceptions. Ignore them and you will free yourself from these nonsense.
