(Kaieteur News) – Today is Friday the 13th, and dem boys know some people afraid to leave their homes on this day. Some people so superstitious that if they wake up and see the calendar showing Friday the 13th, they turn back over, pull the sheet over their heads and decide that the day already start bad.

One woman refuse to get out of bed because she dreamt she saw a cat crossing her path. Another man won’t travel because he was born on the 13th and believes he has already suffered enough for one lifetime. And there are people who won’t walk under a ladder, open an umbrella indoors or allow a mirror to fall and break. Dem boys know one fella who would not even answer his telephone because it rang three times!
