Thirteen Club Comes to Morgantown

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I absolutely LOVE this photo! I first shared it a couple of years ago on my Theresa’s Haunted History Facebook page, and then shared it again last October. I felt, however, that it needed a more permanent spot here on the blog!

The photo comes from one of my favorite websites, WV History on View. It is labeled: “Friday the Thirteenth Group Dinner, Morgantown, W. Va”. However, I THINK we can take it a step further and assume that this is an example of a local 13 Club! 

In the 1880s, the Thirteen Club was created to debunk the superstition of “13 at a table” being unlucky. This belief states that when 13 people are seated together at a table, one will die within a year, usually the first one to get up and leave. They met on the 13th of the month for a dinner served to 13 people at each table.
Now, I don’t like to think of myself as a superstitious person, but if I were invited to one of these dinners, I’m going to be taking my good, sweet time in finishing it! 
For more information on 13 Clubs, check out this article in the Paris Review
