For some reason Friday the 13th is deemed a bad luck day yet no one can properly and accurately trace its origin...
But did you know that on such a day 17-21 millions Americans suffer from increased fear and stress that something is going to go wrong (in this world we seem to love to be scared of something. All the time. "Scratching your nose could cause early onset of bankruptcy")... Apparently people stop going about their regular day for fear of something terrible happening and instead stay locked up at home.Who says their house wont burn down in Death is really after them.
