 So does anyone suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobia? Friday the13th has never bothered me in the slightest, but there are people who fear this dreaded day. Why does this day have this connotation? Does anyone know the origins of this phobia? |

I was told that the reason the 13th became such a dreaded day was because back in the early colonial periods when hanging where a common thing in England(because poverty was a big thing leading to theives). King George the something decided that every Friday would be hanging day. (Or was it Guilotine day) Well anyway, something bad happened to their upper extremities.
 On the the guilotine/hanging stand there where 13 steps. 13 because their death was upon them so it was to curse them in the after life because as many here have stated 13 became to represent bad luck and such. WoW good excuse to use that symbol too LoL Funny cause although I don't believe in this superstition junk, I am am very weary when I get a fortune cookie.
