Most cultures have superstitions centred on the number thirteen. Let us start with a Greek word, which will impress your friends: Paraskevidekatriaphobia, meaning an irrational, even morbid, fear of Friday the 13th. Incidentally, you can trace the synonym friggatriskaidekaphobia to Frigga the goddess of Friday

The Knights Templar were immensely powerful in the middle ages. In fact they were probably had more military and financial might than many European countries, yet on a Friday 13th in October 1307 they met their downfall. The Knights Templar Grand master Jaques de Molay, together with 50 of his senior knights were tricked into a meeting and captured by King Philip IV of France. On that Friday 13th thousands of Templars were arrested and tortured. When they confessed to various trumped up charges they were executed. Since that day, Templars regarded Friday the 13th not only unlucky but evil.

Beware naming your children with 13 letters in their name, they may be cursed for example, Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson.
Warning: count your women because there are precisely 13 witches in a coven. How many loaves are there in a 'Baker's Dozen'? It is superstition that prevents this number be mentioned by name, in fact the extra loaf, presumably the runt of the litter, was baked as a special bribe for the devil not to spoil the batch of loaves.
