Watch out for black cats in your path, hang on to those mirrors, and stay away from ladders! Today is Friday the 13th, and that terrifies millions of Americans.
Some of us won’t go to work today, some won’t eat in restaurants, and many would never plan their wedding for Friday the 13th. No one is exactly sure where the legend of Friday the 13th being unlucky began, though researchers feel the superstition is very old and suspicions are that it’s the combination of “Friday” and “13,” as both the day and the number have historically been connected to bad luck.
