This morning I spoke on BBC Radio Essex about the origins of the belief that Friday 13th is an unlucky day, as well as other ‘superstitions’, including the belief that witches make use of eggshells to sink ships and the different views on the luckiness of unluckiness of black cats. You can listen again to my interview with Ben Fryer on BBC Essex’s Breakfast show here (from time signature 3:10:47).
