I think I am more worried about the Amway people than ghosts. Met one more at Walmart, fremont asking about IKEA at almost 9pm in the night.
Dark was the night and weird the atmosphere. Cracks of weird noises and the wind howling can be heard inside the house. The train passing by shakes the house.
But I did not swerve. I climbed down the stairs valiantly to the living room in search of a glass of water. We dont shut the blinds of the door and windows of the living room in our house. So as I come down in darkness I can see the eerie backyard most clearly thru the glass door.
As I grasp for the glass with one eye, the other eye is on the swing outside half expecting it to start swinging automatically. :-). Some part of me expects a face to show up at the kitchen window.
Nothing happens unfortunately and i walk back dejected with the glass of water as my sole adventure with the song “Gumnaam hai koi” playing in my mind.
triskaidekaphobia \tris-ky-dek-uh-FOH-bee-uh\, noun:
A morbid fear of the number 13 or the date Friday the 13th.
The most famous is the Apollo 13 mission, launched on April 11, 1970 (the sum of 4, 11 and 70 equals 85 – which when added together comes to 13), from Pad 39 (three times 13) at 13:13 local time, and struck by an explosion on April 13.
Another reasoning for Friday 13 being unluncky is….
In Christian countries the number 13 was considered unlucky because there were 13 persons at the Last Supper of Christ. Fridays are also unlucky, because the Crucifixion was on a Friday. Hence a Friday falling on the thirteenth day is regarded as especially unlucky.
There have been conflicting views on the number 13. If you look closely at Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “Last Supper”, you will notice that there were actually 14 people and not 13. There is a mystreious hand with a knife (which some believe to be Peter’s), but others feel there was a 14th person in the room (thus suggesting Judas was innocent).
So, 14 should be unlucky.
Hmm, now to get get rid of the Friday. Let me think up another story.
Hey, any more defenders of Friday the 13th wanna help out ??
