Not only old people! Many people are afraid of the number 13. That is why, in many hotels, they wont have a 13th floor or a room 13. Also, some people have been known to change their house number from a 13 to a 12a. This phobia is called Triskaidekaphobia!
This is because, back when people believed in witches, when witches met in a group to do their wicked spells and potions, there were always 13 in a group.
Because witches were evil, they were the opposite of good. Everything they did was known as the opposite of what was good. Because Jesus had 12 disciples, they decided to be 13 in number. Over time, 13 became known as an unlucky number.
Hope this helped!

The difference is primarily one of word origin. Friggatriskaidekaphobia starts with a Greek-originated term "triskaidekaphobia" or the fear of the number 13 (triskaideka = 13, phobia = fear). It then tacks on the name Frigga, the Norse god for whom Friday (Frigga's Day) is named.
Paraskevidekatriaphobia takes it name from the Greek words for Friday, Paraskevi, and dekatria, also meaning 13, and adding in phobia for fear.
I don't know of any differences in meaning. It is comparable to the works "guarantee" and "warranty". The both have the same meaning, but their spellings derived from different regions.
Paraskevidekatriaphobia could be considered "purer" since all terms originate from Greek, but purity has little to do with the formation of language.

The absence of a number 13 on clocks is due to historical superstitions surrounding the number. In many cultures, the number 13 is considered unlucky, leading to its omission on clocks, buildings, and other structures. This belief is known as triskaidekaphobia. As a result, clocks typically skip from 12 to 1, avoiding the number 13 altogether.

The names of phobias/fears come from Greek or Latin (except some phobias whose names are made up by Wiki Answers Contributors which are suspected to be Gibberish/Gobbledegook).
Some are serious and obviously real (like fear of spiders and fear of enclosed spaces). Some seem ridiculous (like fear of chickens or fear of objects to the left of oneself). However, who are we to laugh if ridiculous-seeming fears are recorded by the world's psychology?
Ten phobias are below:
Arachnophobia - fear of spiders
Arachibutyrophobia - fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth
Alektorophobia - fear of chickens
Cacophobia - fear of ugliness
Claustrophobia - fear of enclosed spaces

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedialophobia - fear of long words
Levophobia -fear of objects to the left of oneself
Spheksophobia - fear of wasps
