Eikositriophobia

Eikositriophobia (from Greek eikosi, "twenty", and tria, "three") is the fear of number 23. The fear is linked to, which tells about belief that most incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23. 23 can be thought of as the second most fearful two-digit number after 13 (see Triskaidekaphobia). The enigma was originated by novelist, who claims that Captain Clark had an shipping accident that killed him and everyone else onboard after exactly 23 years after Clark sailed for the first time. Also about the same time, airplane Flight 23 had crashed whose pilot was also Captain Clark. Since that claim, people fear about the tragedy when eclipsing the 23 mark or the number they're on. Eikositriophobes who are 23 years old may worry that they could die at that very age.
