Another possible origin for the superstition comes from the last supper. Jesus + 12 Apostles = 13 People who look at it that way claim that Judas is the 13th not Jesus.

Other interesting 13s include
13 moon cycles in a lunar year
13 Olympians after Dionysus ascends (technically)
13 British colonies in America
13 in a baker's dozen
13 ft on a guillotine

If you look around America you'll notice that 13 plays a rather large role in the culture. Obviously it's because of the original 13 colonies but it's still interesting to take note of in my opinion.

In General 13th was always an unlucky number, many people faced troubles at the age of 13 even me, but on contrary side 13 also can be very lucky for you not the vice versa, as some people say in 2013 people will face a lot of problems because of the weather, job, and financial problems but I think these all are not true. Anyway I believe Friday 13th can be both lucky and unlcuky
