Unique or Unusual customs in your country

Yes there is and I think every country has(it is just many people don't know about it). My country actually has a lot of such traditions, one of which I remember is that villagers of two villages(I don't remember of where are they from) throw rock on each other, they thhink that the more people they injure, the more the Devi(goddess)will bless them.

There are some superstitious people living in my home country. Like the day Friday 13th is meant to be very unlucky. This year we have had two of those already. Living in a house number 13 is something many people wouldn't do. Where I used to live the numbers on the cottages went 11, 12, 14 and so on. If salt is spilled a person throws some over their left shoulder to avoid getting sorrow. Some people don't walk under a ladder or put an umbrella up indoors. Seeing a black cat is meant to be lucky. I really like finding out about customs in different countries.

Here in the outlying villages they still hold very old festivals, during the day the cattle are driven through fire then people also run barefoot through the fire.

Later in the evening the young girls of the village, that have not yet known a man, dance naked and then a man who is also naked but wearing a deer's head and a huge phallus dances and chooses one of the girls. She is the queen of the festival and it is a great honour for her. The man with the deer's head, known as Keranonath, mounts the girl as she kneels before him.

If their union is blessed with child that offspring is considered special

There's so many weird custom in my country India since it have varieties of people living in its different states. In our state, we have this particular custom. Whenever someone returns from a long journey, they lid fire in newspaper or any paper and make that person walk pass over it. The fire supposedly keep away any evil spirits that come along with the person. No matter how modern the family is, they all follow this routine. Its quite hilarious sometimes, coming back for semester break and finding mom waiting in the doorway with burning newspaper.. lol

Some old traditional I know here in the Philippines, is when we went into the woods. we have to eat a piece of grass or leaf, so as we leave the souls on the woods will not go with us. and to the old folks, babies shouldnt be complimented cute without putting a saliva on their tummy or else theyll be crying the whole day.
