It’s a terrible day for triskaidekaphobes — people scared of the number 13 — and friggatriskaidekaphobes, who fear 13, but only on Fridays. Another term for a fear of Friday the 13th is paraskavedekatriaphobia.
Norse mythology includes a tale about 12 gods invited to a dinner in Valhalla. But Loki, a troublemaking god, crashed the party and a fight caused Baldur, the most popular god, to be killed.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt — “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” — didn’t like the number 13. He hated to travel on Friday the 13th and having 13 people at dinner.
He died on Thursday, April 12, 1945, just before Friday the 13th.
