It's not so scary after all.... 

Although very little is known about the origins of the day's superstitions, some biographers believe that the legends surrounding it came to light in the late 19th century. 

Gioachino Rossini, an Italian composer had the first documented mention of " Friday the 13th, "in a biography about his life, Friday the 13th being the day which Rossini died. 

A 1907 book, Friday the Thirteenth, by American businessman Thomas Lawson, may have further carried on the myths.
