Being afraid of spirits of the dead is big in some places, but the dead can't hurt you.
Many superstitions basically stem from a fear of spirits of the dead or of spirits of any sort. Events are interpreted as attempts by these spirits to contact the living with a threat, a warning, or a blessing.

For those that are superstitious, staying in doors to avoid something bad happening on Friday 13th is probably not a good idea: Most accidents occur in the home.

perhaps sure, yet basically for one reason. for sure there is not something genuine interior the Friday the thirteenth memories. yet this works via suggestion.
