Fear of the number 13 is called "triskaidekaphobia".

Irrationally scared of clowns? You might have coulrophobia. Oh, and gephyrophobia is a fear of bridges.

And in case you didn't know, the fear you are suffering from has a name. It's Paraskevidekatriaphobia. It's what happens when a fear of Fridays meets a fear of the number Thirteen (Triskaidekaphobia).

Did you know that paraskavedekatriaphobia, according to Fox News, can be traced back to "October 1307, when on Friday the 13th, French King Philip IV rounded up hundreds of monks and tortured them into admitting a variety of heresies."

And while the Dutch study may say that Friday the 13th just got a bum rap, there's been more than a few unfortunate occurrences that happened on this infamous day. According to Hauntedbay.com, here are a few examples of the sordidhistory of Friday the 13th:
