I think that there is a "self-fulfilling" prophecy in Friday the 13th. If you look for bad things to happen, they will. If you don't pay attention to the date, then things will go along as usual.
That being said, some studies have actually shown that there are significantly more accidents and hospital admissions on a Friday that is the 13th day of the month. See the below link for interesting details.
I believe that these accidents and injuries are directly related to the more superstitious people being preoccupied with what bad thing might happen to them that day.

No, the only special significance to Friday the 13th is what YOU give it. If you choose to pay no attention, and go about your normal life, then you will find that it holds no power over you.
However, you find that "bad things" really do happen more often on unlucky days. But that is by human choice. Our attitude can affect our chances of being injured, making a mistake, or simply having a bad day. If your attitude is controlled by the outside world, not by you, then your chances of bad happenings goes way up.

I believe that today is Friday...and it is the 13th. Beyond that, I see no correlation between a supposedly unlucky number and the best day of the work week. So, no, I do not believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day.

Sure I believe in it, since it's, like, today. BUT, I don't believe that it's a bad luck day. We make our own luck, good or bad - the calendar can't do that for us.
But oh man, it's too early yet to have all that snow!!! :-O

No. I don't think Friday the 13th is evil or bad or whatever.

To believe in something is to give it power, and the word believe holds the word lie within it, and a few more but I'll let you, but i will leave you to your own bidding. It's better to know, is my advice to you. I AM...S

It is nothing more than a day of the week and a date on the calendar.
