Internet users have been freaking out and flooding Twitter with posts on the last Friday the 13th of the year and the decade. The day is considered an inauspicious and unlucky date in Western superstition as it is believed that accidents and unluck mishaps occur more frequently on this particular date. According to reports, some netizens believe that the fear of Friday the 13th initially originated from early Christianity, while others believe that it has its roots from anti-paganism. The fear of this date was further strengthened by many popular 'Friday the 13th' horror film series, where the protagonist Jason Voorhees goes on a murderous rampage.
