My street doesn't even have a 13. The duplex is numbered 11 & 15.
Only superstion I have is that I won't live in a house with a yellow door.
No idea why, I think it was something ingrained since childhood.
Paint's so easy to change. How would you know whether the door to your house might have been painted yellow at some point? Do you scrape the paint off to make sure?

how about a former funeral home? There is one that has been languishing nearby for a long time. Maybe because it is a double wide modular ranch with nothing inside but a half bath. It was used as a "satellite" wake location for the main funeral home.
It is kind of freaky when you are liking a home that's for sale and the realtor whispers in your ear, "Would it bother you to know that a person (died) here recently?
Wouldn't bother me unless it was something like a former drug house and some people were killed in there - never know what drugs addicts might still be around and think the former dealer lived there

When a house reaches a certain age, odds are someone died in the home at some point.
Always check the basement for a portal to hell. Don't buy a house across from a cemetery or funeral home, do you really want to be reminded of death every time you look out the window? You'll never know if they substituted worchestershire sauce for embalming fluid, it could become a zombie zone. You would have to spend a lot of extra money on window shutters and shotguns for every room. Check the attic for swarms of flies, if a spook whispers "get out", heed the warning, but if you have a priest (it must be a priest, minister is not strong enough) bless the house and perform exorcism, keep an eye on the priest and make sure he doesn't get sick or have mysterious accident.
Make sure the house wasn't built on Indian burial grounds!! When you check out the house, call out 3 times in a row, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, you don't want that guy popping up. As for people dying in the house, gently passing away from old age is not the same as having John Gacy live there, any violent death history should be cause for concern. Check for cold spots, see if the owner will let you put table and chairs in the kitchen for a few days before buying, check each night to see if the chairs moved (this always happens in the kitchen for some reason). Leave a money clip on the table with at least $1000, if that disappears, it was worth the money to know that you will need a safety deposit box.
Yellow doors are no problem, it's what's behind the green door that you need to worry about. No green doors. Check the closet for evil monkey or any signs of monkey poo.
for some reason i never would want to live at 13 of a street
13th Avenue in San Francisco is called Funston. I lived on 12th, and it always amused me that people could be so superstitious.
