Fear of 13

Jean Sexton Writes:

From Wiki: The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia,[1], a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words ParaskevÌ (meaning Friday), and dekatreÌs (meaning thirteen), attached to phobÌa (meaning fear). The term is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a simple phobia (fear) of the number thirteen appearing in any case.
