Anything Spooky Happen to you on Friday the 13th?

Anything weird or strange happen to you or someone close to you on Friday the 13th? The number was popping up everywhere for me - In letters, on houses, etc. I experienced a lot of weird things that day. And the night was silent. Silent. That is unusual considering the area that I live in.

What has been happening to you on this dreadful day; Friday 13th?

Another dreadful thing: Someone told me it was Friday the 13nd, and not Friday the 13th. Spooky. tongue

Very strange.

Also, is it conclusive that Friday 13th can be classified as an 'unlucky' date?

Friday, the 13th of October, 2006!
What a day!
I was returned a sum of Rs.5,000/- which I had lent and thought I should write-off.
It was a very lucky day for me.
(Rs.5,000/- is approximately $110)

Hmmm... if you make a bet with someone, you can prove that Firday the 13th is not unlucky. Even if you lose, the other wins, so the overall result =

And a few hotels don't have a floor 13. Some either skip it or call it 12B.

You guys should start gathering garlic, silver bullets and stuff like that... Why? Because not only will  September 13th in year 2019 be a Friday, there'll also be a fullmoon! Scary, huh?
