Happy Friday the 13th! Today is the one and only Friday the 13th of the year and according to our know-it-all buddies over at Wikipedia, the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, which is when some pathetic pussy has both a fear of Fridays along with a fear of the number thirteen.
Friday the 13th has a history of ruthlessness. And Hauntedbay.com has been kind enough to do the research for us, so we don't have to. What's so scary about Friday the 13th?
- Infamous murderers Charles Manson, Harold Shipman, Frederick West, Saddam Hussein, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Theodore Bundy, and Jack the Ripper each have 13 letters in their names.
- Folklore remedies for triskaidekaphobia include climbing to the top of a mountain or skyscraper and burning all the socks you own that have holes in them. Another is to stand on your head and eat a piece of gristle.
- Women drivers have a 64% increased chance of death when driving on Friday the 13th.
So without further ado, here is the scariest Friday the 13th video ever! We, at Bodog Beat, had our best people on the job to find you the ultimate Friday the 13th video. While many videos included haunted cemeteries, tarantulas and even a haunted storage unit — this possessed freak-show (and her dog) was just too terrifying to pass up.
Do you suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia? Too afraid to go out tonight? Will you be staying home to burn your socks? Why not stay home and win money in Bodog's online casino? It's way less weird.
