The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. I kid you not. That is a word. I Googled it so it must be true. In my research I found that no one is quite sure as where the Friday the 13th superstition got its origin; however, this day continues to scare the life out of people. One theory suggests that it combines two older superstitions - Friday, an unlucky day and 13, an unlucky number. Put the two together and watch out! I've never really bought into that whole superstition but I did enjoy the Friday the 13th movies...when I was 12.
