    well friday the 13th is a well known unlucky day..you must have seen/heard of the movie friday the 13th..i dont quite know the history but will look it up.
    the result of the fear is that it causes loss of about USD 900 million each year as people dont fly or do any business on this day.

    I have heard, there are no rooms in hotels with number 13. Is it right? Then about fridays, friday is already considered to be a ghost day in many myths.

    I am not afraid of any date. This is baseless and a superstition.

    I know that US people have a sentiment that 13 number is unlucky as in India at andhrapradesh 7 is unlucky.
