And similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia (horribly long words). The origins of Friday superstitions are many which include Eve tempted Adam with the apple on a Friday. And 13 people at the last supper of Jesus, who was traditionally crucified on Good Friday. On this date, the Pope of the church in Rome in conjunction with the King of France, carried out a secret death warrant Against "the Knights Templar". And Several serial killers have 13 letters in their names like Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they are simply unable to get out of bed when Friday the 13th rolls around. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute estimates that more than 17 million people are affected by a fear of this day. But for some individuals, it doesn’t sound unlucky at all.
