The Unlucky Origin & Superstitions Behind Friday The 13th
It’s Friday the 13th… so what better day to dig into the real story behind the most infamous date on the calendar? Chris Jericho welcomes geologist, forensic investigator, and history researcher Scott Wolter to break down the origins of Friday the 13th, the truth about the number 13, and why it became one of the most feared superstitions in the world. Scott explains how the legend connects to the downfall of the Knights Templar in 1307, why the number 13 may actually be a powerful and positive number tied to the Fibonacci sequence and the sacred feminine, and how centuries of myth-making turned it into a symbol of bad luck. He also discusses his controversial research into the Kensington Runestone, hidden history connected to the Templars, the discovery of the Talpiot tomb in Jerusalem, and why Friday the 13th still sparks fear, fascination, and superstition more than 700 years later.
