Here is an amazing video of a baby born “in the caul.”  Basically this means that the bag of waters never breaks and the baby emerges in a sac of water.  It’s amazing!

Most of the world has traditionally thought this phenomenon to be a good omen.  Some of the lore includes:

• The baby will be destined for greatness
• The child will never drown
• The child will be psychic
• The child will be able to travel and never tire
• A sailor or ship that posses the caul will never drown or sink
• Protection against infertility and evil forces
• Intelligence
• If twins are born in caul that means they are marked by an angel and their souls are shielded
