In a dark corner of the 13th Floor, you will be lured into a secret bar, where you can cool off with a refreshing shot straight out of a nightmare fairy tale. The only spot within the haunted house where you can take a picture with our big bad wolf.
A good example is that some have suggested the 13th floor in government buildings is not really missing, but actually contains top-secret governmental departments, or more generally that it is proof of something sinister or clandestine going on.
The history of the superstition begins in the distant, murky past. Predominantly a Western culture thing, the number in question has long had an aura of evil or misfortune. Individual scholars pinpoint the Last Supper as a strong contender for its genesis, as it was Judas, the 13th guest at dinner, who betrayed Jesus. However, the dubious number appears in other cultures, too. You can find unlucky 13s in Norse mythology and ancient Hinduism.
13th floor apartment2011/2/8 00:21 Hello everyone,
I have just moved into 13th floor apartment in Sumida-ku and I know from my friends that usually there is no 4th and 13th fl in japan but this building has all the numbers from 1st all the way up to 14th floor.
I dont feel anything since moving here except hearing knocking/bumping/sound of 1-2 people walking around/occasionally dragging chairs after 1am onwards.
I would like to know what is your view of 13th floor apartment in japan?by mochisakura
??2011/2/8 09:57 I think your friends are mistaken- I have never come across a building with no 4th or 13th floor in Japan, although I did stay at a hotel with no 4th floor in Korea once. Until 2 years ago I lived on the 4th floor of a new building in Tokyo- it didn't seem to bother my husband or any of the other Japanese tenants who lived on that floor.
Really, the numbers 4 and 13 are just numbers, and don't have any influence on anything that happens when living on a particular floor, and I think most Japanese people would agree. If you are superstitious enough about the number 13 that it bothers you then you might want to consider moving, but I don't think it's worth worrying about.by Sira (guest)rate this post as useful
13th floor2011/2/8 10:32 I too have yet to come across a building in Japan that skipped the 4th or 13th floors, but I hear that some of the older hotels that catered to western tourists omitted the 13th floor.
I would like to know what is your view of 13th floor apartment in japan?
I think to most people in Japan the 13th floor apartments are known as the ones that lie directly above the 12th floor and often (but not always) sits below a 14th floor ;)
Now apartment number 964, that's a number that might make the more superstitious in Japan raise an eyebrow.by yllwsmrfrate this post as useful
132011/2/11 05:50 I heard about buildings in North America that don't have a 13th floor but the fact is, no matter what number you give to that floor, it still IS the 13th floor..
In some European countries the ground floor is called just that. The floor above is the 1st and so on..
so the 12th floor is actually the 13th floor but nobody think about it that way..
13 being an unlucky number comes from Judas being the 13th guy in the band of Jesus and his buddies...he betrayed Jesus and therefore 13 became a number that brought back luck...
If you really think about it, it was the #1, Jesus, that got all the bad luck!by Monkey see (guest)rate this post as useful
...2011/2/12 18:05 I have stayed at hotels in Japan without a 4th and/or 13th floor! Especially Western hotel chains might skip the 13th floor. But sometimes even Japanese hotels do so (just like some of them provide a Bible on the room without cultural precedent).
The other day I stayed in hotel room 443 and rented a car with the license number 4445, and I was rather shocked about it. No accident happened, though.

friday the 13th2011/2/16 21:03 Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper. Since there were 12 tribes of Israel, that number was considered lucky.by ashley1rate this post as useful
The Thirteenth Floor are the group of witches and sorcerers that reside on the namesake floor of the Woodland Apartment Building. They provide the enchantments and spells to the Fabletown community, first and foremost the spells that cloak the magical nature of its inhabitants and make the mundys unaware of their presence.
While not appearing in The Wolf Among Us, the 13th Floor does have a Book of Fables entry that is unlocked during "Smoke & Mirrors". Bigby can also recruit Aunty Greenleaf to the group during "A Crooked Mile".
Asking almost $30 for an experience that lasts less than most sitcoms is a lot in this day and age, but 13th Floor earns every penny. Going through it was an intense experience that felt it purged every bit of stress out of me in the forms of screams. Getting through it is an accomplishment worth celebrating.
Having been to 13th Floor five years ago, but having visited about one hundred Haunts in the meantime, I was eager to see if it stacked up to my memory of it. 13th Floor delivers and is a required stop for any Chicago metro area Haunt fans. It is located in Schiller Park Illinois.
Some vendors and some music can make a Haunt go from a single activity destination, to an entire night hanging out with your friends. 13th Floor, thankfully delivers. Their primary line is outside, and around that there is a food truck and several vendors. Scare actors work this area as well. The beer table had some unique local brews, and the food truck smelled great. 10/10 if you bring a few friends you could hang here for an hour and take in the atmosphere, weather permitting.
Tickets for 13th Floor Chicago are on sale now, beginning at $19.99. The event may be too intense for children under 12. For more information, visit 13thfloorchicago.com and follow 13th Floor Chicago on Instagram at @13thfloorchicago.
PRINCETON, NJ -- The interesting phenomenon of fear of the number 13, technically known as triskaidekaphobia, has significant economic implications. Developers of hotels and office buildings have to make the decision whether to include a 13th floor to avoid occupants superstitious desire to avoid working or staying on such a floor. Many hotels in Las Vegas, where luck and superstition are important psychological factors, do not have 13th floors, and other large hotel chains routinely skip from the 12th to the 14th floor, although, technically, the 14th floor is really the 13th floor of that building.
The results show that an overwhelming 87% say they would not be bothered if they were assigned to the 13th floor of a hotel, while -- interestingly -- exactly 13% of those interviewed say it would bother them.
Those bothered by staying on the 13th floor are much more likely to say they would ask the hotel to give them a room on a different floor (74%) rather than to stay in the room on the 13th floor (22%). All told, 9% of all Americans would be concerned enough about staying on the 13th floor that they would ask for a different room assignment.
(Asked of those who would be bothered to be given a room on the thirteenth floor): Would you ask the hotel to give you a room on a different floor, or would you stay in the room on the thirteenth floor?
Although the vast majority of all Americans would not be bothered if they were given a room on the 13th floor of a hotel, certain demographic groups are more likely than others to be bothered about sleeping on this floor of a hotel.
Women (18%) are more than twice as likely as men (8%) to say they would be bothered to stay in a hotel room on the 13th floor. Women are also more likely than men to say they would change rooms, at 14% vs. 5%, respectively.
Younger and older Americans show only minor variation in their views on this matter, with 12% of 18- to 49-year-olds and 14% those aged 50 and older saying it would bother them to sleep on the 13th floor of a hotel.
But, the results to this question by combined age and gender groups show significant differences. Women aged 50 and older express a higher level of concern about sleeping in a hotel room on the 13th floor than do younger women or men of any age.
Concerns about sleeping on the 13th floor of a hotel vary by the degree to which people have stayed in a hotel in the past year, with infrequent hotel guests somewhat more likely than frequent hotel guests to say they are bothered by sleeping on the 13th floor.
Nearly one in six Americans who have stayed 10 nights or fewer (15%) say they would be bothered to sleep on the 13th floor. Just 8% of those who have visited a hotel 11 or more times say they would be bothered.
33. (Asked of those who would be bothered to be given a room on the thirteenth floor): Would you ask the hotel to give you a room on a different floor, or would you stay in the room on the thirteenth floor?
