Friday the 13th is feared by many but understood by few—until now (cue creepy music). For those trapped in its superstitious grip, it serves as a harbinger of doom, a day when the veil between the real and the supernatural grows thin, and the ordinary and the extraordinary collide in terrifying ways. While most think of a masked killer stalking through the woods, there’s a darker truth beneath the fiction; where fear is real, not imagined. Throughout history, Friday the 13th has been marked by monumental events—some gory, others financial, and still others biblical. Today, we’ll not only unravel the disturbing history of Friday the 13th but also dive into the chilling case of Peter Moore, Wales' worst serial killer, whose twisted crimes are eerily linked to the dark legacy of this cursed day.
