What is the source of trepidation towards Friday the 13th and why does it persist?

There is no need for me to explain the distinctiveness of this Friday if you are already familiar with the term.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

On this day, Friday the 13th, individuals with superstitions or phobias may find discomfort.

On this day, it is highly recommended to avoid walking under ladders or letting a black cat cross your path.

Haunted houses frequently dedicate a specific day, which might surpass Halloween, to commemorate this occasion.

On the other hand, if it happens during the peak of the haunting season, there can be a substantial increase in crowds and intensified scares.

The origins of Friday the 13th's ominous reputation extend beyond Ohio and are deeper than its depiction in films.

Why do people believe that Friday the 13th is connected to bad luck?

The numeral 13 has been traditionally associated with misfortune or apprehension for a considerable period.

According to Christian beliefs, the last supper was attended by a group of thirteen individuals, and Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

In Viking mythology, the number 13 is deemed unlucky due to the association with the malevolent deity Loki.
