Does the Fear of the Number 13 Control You?
by The number 13 and especially Friday the 13th tends to be unlucky for many people. Where does this fear originate? Does scientific research show that unlucky events happen on Friday the 13th more often?

I don’t believe that I have any superstitions. My grandmother had dozens. If we went out the back door, we had to come in by the back door. We couldn’t sweep any dust out of the house or sweep under anyone’s feet. We couldn’t walk under a ladder and if a black cat crossed our path we had to cross ourselves before continuing on.They went on and on.

If the number 13 is pure bad luck then I’m jinxed. I once joined the Police Force and I was the 13th recruit on the applicant’s list. I made it through somehow and even gone as far as flight training courtesy of the service which allowed me to acquire my private pilot’s license. Sad thing was the training plane did crashed before I got released and we had an instructor and my buddy who perished on the accident. I didn’t mean to emphasize that I’m not that vulnerable for maybe I was. The aircraft’s tail number was 85 and the office order no. entailing my inclusion on the flight training was 2004-013.
