A new survey suggests people are becoming less superstitious about ‘unlucky’ Friday the 13th.

The poll of 1,000 adults shows other superstitons are also less of a concern nowadays.

Fewer people now freak out when they break a mirror, walk under a ladder or a black cat walks across their path.

Three out of four questioned for a Surrey theme park said they had no intention of staying off work just because of the date.

Peter Ronchetti, Thorpe Park’s general manager, said people were not as easily scared as they used to be.

He added: “October this year happens to be one of the freakiest months. Friday the 13th and Halloween fall within two weeks of each other.”
