A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece and Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.
Personally. It's all bunkum!

I don't know the history about it, but it does make me very nervous. A few years ago I lost 3 family members on three Friday 13ths in a row - all in road accidents.

13 is to be said as a very unlucky number, but i think it's a bunch of bolony. and if u've seen Frieky Friday, the Mom and her daughter switch places on Friday the 13th , and i guess friday is cool, so they decided that Friday the 13th is unlucky
i have no idea why, but it is

Friday the thirteenth superstition comes from the last supper, it was on a Friday, there were 13 at the table and it was when Jesus was betrayed.
