What do you do different on this day ? I wish the industry would make one scary dedicated game to Jason and other monsters and feared bad guys. I guess I will play some Ghost n Goblins tonight. To me i love watching Jason Friday the 13th movies and staying up late scaring everyone in my family by putting up the volume on the tv from all the scary movies. I love how much energy this day brings and excitement to meas this is the unluckiest day of the year. You might just get locked out of your car or something ! Ha ! Happy Friday the 13th everyone !! And watch out for that bad luck !
Friday the 13th Theory #1
There is no reliable evidence that Friday the 13th was considered to be especially inauspicious before the late nineteenth century, though both Friday and the number thirteen were separately identified as negative[1]. Because of this, attempts to explain the superstition with reference to historical events are speculative.
One proposed origin relates to the Last Supper. Judas, the thirteenth guest, was instrumental in the Crucifixion of Jesus, which happened on a Friday.
Other theories offered in relation to Friday suggest that Eve offered the apple to Adam on a Friday or the slaying of Abel happened on a Friday (though the Bible does not identify the days of the week when these events occurred).
Theory #2
It was indeed because of a massacre,the Knights Templar were virtually wiped out after being accused of heresy. The order went out in secret and when everything was in place they were arrested and tortured into confession of heresy. Had to look at a few things to clear it up but the previous poster had the date right,Oct 13,1307.There are numerous links on the net using the knights templar or the date as searches,basically it seems that alot of it was done to gain the wealth that the Templars had built up over time.Not to mention that some disliked or even outright feared the influence the Templars had built up over time.There are of course other stories and perhaps some of them also have historic links but this is the only definitive one I've seen that could be used.
Theory #3
There are several theories, but that is all they are. Here is one...
When the death angel went through Egypt and killed all of the first born, this was the day before the Saturday the 14th of Nissan. This passover day was then Friday the 13th of Nissan, and a very unlucky day for the gentiles.
Happy Friday the 13th everyone !
