Friday the 13th is considered unlucky by millions of people worldwide (Credit: Jlloa/CCO/Pixbay)

For non-believers, this year's second — and final — Friday the 13th is just the start of a weekend. However, for the estimated twenty million people in the US, and scores more worldwide, that suffer from "friggatriskaidekaphobia," or "paraskevidekatriaphobia," November 13, 2020, will be fraught with bad luck. Though some of the fear can be blamed on the Friday the 13th movie franchise, the day's bad reputation began long before the film’s hockey-masked villain, Jason Voorhees, made an appearance.

          Well actually rosiek, I REALLY agree with you because... that's the day I celebrated my birthday. Surprise! Yes, I was born on the...bad and creepy wierd day, Friday the 13th, but just thinking about it... I do but don't (50/50 chances) feel like bad luck. And to be honest... I think it was just COVID-19 that we had to be quaintined on that day (and for the rest of the school year, including hurricanes everywhere). Also, my favorite day is Friday the 13th. Here are some upcoming Friday the 13th for 2022-2023: May 2022, January 2023, and (to celebrate the holiday with FREE CANDY/TREATS) October 2023. Every year (or so), I will becounting EVERY Friday the 13th!

                  I read in another comment that lockdown started on Friday the Thirteenth. Is that true?

                  On Friday the 13th, I was going with my parents to my aunts wedding. We were more than halfway there when our car stopped working. We waited for a few hours in the desert, when a tow truck finally came. We had to stay an extra night in Las Vegas (were the wedding was) because of it. I defiantly think Friday the thirteenth is bad luck!
