18 terrible things that happened on Friday the 13th
- This Friday, September 13, is a Friday the 13th.
- Friday the 13th has been a superstitious date for a very long time, but no one knows exactly why.
- There are multiple examples of terrible or tragic events happening on these Fridays in history.
Friday the 13th is so famously unlucky that there’s even a phobia dedicated to it: friggatriskaidekaphobia.
Even if you personally don’t put stock in this fear, there are a lot of people who do. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute even estimated in 2013 that between $800 and $900 million are lost in business every Friday the 13th because people are afraid to shop, travel, and conduct business.
Still think it’s just a superstition? These events might be enough to convince even the most determined non-believer.
