any fans and Jason Vorhees out there
well sorry we’re talking about the
calendar date not a date with a machete
welcome to watchmojo.com settlement
we’re counting down the top 5 facts
about Friday the 13th two figures with
my luck you know I was born in Friday
the 13th one years it only happens once
other years this so called
unlucky day number pairing happens up to
three times it’s got anything planned
for next Friday the 13th if you stick
around as we investigate this
superstitious day and then decide them
you should take a rain check number five
be afraid but why no one knows for sure
you Frank yes I know without you here
Friday the 13th is a real thing it’s
called Paris kiya Deku Tree a phobia
it affects millions of people and
supposedly results in major loss of
business for many industries but what
exactly is the root of this fear there’s
no one answer but there is a complicated
history and I’m thinking the story
involves a guy it’s complicated
many believe it stems from one
particularly bad Friday the 13th in 1307
when King Philip the fourth ordered the
arrest of countless Knights Templar many
of whom were tortured and burned at the
stake
others have attributed significance to
the fact that there were 13 people at
the Last Supper before Jesus was
crucified on Good Friday but there is no
specific mention of Friday the 13th
until the late 19th century when the
combination of Friday and 13 are called
unlucky in reference to the death of
composer Giacchino Rossini
[Music]
number four our psychological
associations are partially to blame
enough fight alone to you may never
learn the exact origins of the
superstitious day but we can endeavor to
understand it’s curious power in our
supposedly logic driven modern culture
and like I said ultimately it’s all
about control when we are faced with a
situation in which the outcome is beyond
our control
superstition kicks in James chiusa barn
fire at 13 according to psychologists to
advise superstition is a tool that
enables the brain to feel as if it’s
exerting control over such scenarios
through abstract associations we’ve made
with actions such as knocking on wood so
if anything remotely bad happens to
someone on Friday the 13th they’re
likely to believe the superstition the
Association is all set up and the
slightest mishap confirms it it had just
been a shitty week for me from the
beginning this can work both ways though
for Taylor Swift for instance the number
13 has already been incredibly lucky
even on Fridays my lucky number is 13
and so I draw 13 in my hand with
eyeliner or body paint number three it’s
not a global day of bad luck t-swift
isn’t alone in shaking off the
superstition surrounding Friday the 13th
for various cultures throughout the
world and throughout history the number
thirteen has been a lucky one including
in Italy and ancient Greece that doesn’t
mean that they don’t have their very own
superstitions though in Italy Friday the
17th is the unlucky day in China for is
considered an unlucky number because it
is phonetically similar to the word
death in Kenya any number ending with
seven is unlucky never one to be left
out of a debate science has weighed in
and found Friday the 13th to be wanting
according to various studies Friday the
13th shows no increase in surgical
complications natural disasters or
accidents you ever wondered why the
crime rate and famine is so low and yet
the accident right it’s so high No
number two the 13 Club dedicated to
debunking superstitions we owe the 13
members of the scientific community
aren’t the only ones who have put
superstition to the test you science in
the 13 club governors judges men of high
military rank and 5 US presidents
including Theodore Roosevelt’s joined in
on the fun ok founded in the 1880s by
Captain William Fowler a Civil War vet
the club existed to the sole purpose of
breaking every superstitious rule out
there 13 men would gather together on
Friday the 13th to walk under ladders
break mirrors and glasses keep umbrellas
open indoors and still salt with
reckless abandon
[Music]
seasons under a banner of latin scripts
that translated to we who are about to
die salute you falsify thank you
they laugh superstition in the face fall
invoking even the most deadly of
superstitions and survived number one
there have undeniably been bad Friday’s
throughout history what can I say she
had a shitty day regardless of where the
13 clubs scientists and the all-mighty
Taylor Swift stand on the matter when
you look back on this date in history
it’s hard to deny that there have been a
lot of bad days in 1939 the Black Friday
bush fires killed 71 Australian in 1940
Nazis dropped a bomb on Buckingham
Palace in 1951 Kansas experienced
record-breaking flooding in 1970 the
bola cyclone killed an estimated 500,000
people in Bangladesh in 1989 or a stock
market crash and died could just keep
going there have been some good 13
Friday’s throughout history like the
unveiling of the Hollywood sign the 1854
patent of the accordion and the birth of
the Olsen twins when I see blue I can’t
you with that evidence from both sides
we’ll let you be the judge about a bad
month so be honest are you superstitious
and is there anything you’d avoid doing
on Friday the 13th like asking for a
raise or getting on a plane or going on
a first date for more I want to believe
