What is the history behind having bad luck when one’s path is crossed by a black cat?

Well this fear goes back to Middle Ages,when the world believed in witches and demons.

Many women who were thought be witches kept black cats as their pets. And since people believe that a witch could change into her cat whenever she wanted to.

So they assumed that a black cat was actually a witch in disguise and it’s a bad omen if a black cat crosses their path.

This belief is popular since then.
