The history of why the number 13 is considered unlucky goes back centuriesIf you asked me if I were superstitious, I’d respond, “probably a little bit”.
But the reality is, I say “white rabbits” three times at the beginning of every month that has an R in it for good luck, salute magpies for good karma and that on Friday the 13th, I’m more than just a little cautious about what I plan for the day.
I’m not alone in my fear of this day. In fact, there’s even a name for it: paraskevidekatriaphobia.
