Famously recognised as the unluckiest date of all 👀
The date has become so notorious, it even has its own horror franchise consisting of terrifying films, TV shows, novels and video games.
'Unlucky' number 13 Did you know, fear of the number 13 is so common, it has a name? It's called triskaidekaphobia. Even famous horror writer Stephen King won't stop reading a book if he is at a page whose numbers add up to 13, according to NPR.Judas, who betrayed Jesus, is thought to have been the thirteenth guest to sit down to the Last Supper, alongside Jesus himself and the twelve disciples.
It seems the superstition has stuck. Even today, it's considered unlucky to have 13 people sitting at a dinner table, with an enduring restaurant superstition being that if 13 people eat at the same table, one will die before year's end.
