Video: Fear of the Number 13

If you suffer from Triskaidekaphobia, an unnatural fear of the Number 13, we suggest you don't watch this video.

While Friday the 13th may suggest a hockey masked maniac on the loose, for many just the number 13 itself can invoke terror, K24TV reported.

In multiple cultures all over the world, the number 13 is considered to be jinxed.

Numerous buildings omit the 13th floor. Superstitious sports personalities will avoid the number like the plague, refusing to wear it on their jerseys.

And while some hotels may have a room designated as 13 they are reluctant to rent it out.

Reputedly, some airlines even make a "killing" by selling cheaper tickets for flights falling on Friday the 13th.

So, if you’re bugged out by the number that falls between 12 and 14, frankly, you're not alone!
