The Real Things Louisiana People Fear And Friday 13th Isn’t One
Yes, it's Friday the 13th, the only one we will have in all of 2025, but Louisiana people really aren't too concerned about it.
You can't scare us! We used to hold the flashlight for Dad when he worked on the car!
A poll conducted by YouGov shows that about 80% of all Americans really don't put much stock into that "unlucky" thing for Friday the 13th.
However, 83% of all Americans do have at least one thing they fear. Of those fears, most consider them rational; most have discussed the fear with their spouse or partner; and most of those fears truly don't interfere with their daily lives.
What Are Americans Overall Biggest Fears?
Research has shown that most of our fears are somewhat predictable, but we've listed the overall Top 10 to give you a better idea.
- Snakes - 30% feared them most
- Heights - 28% fear
- Spiders - 24% fear
- Public Speaking - 23% fear
- Disease - 21% fear
- Crowded spaces - 17% fear
- Enclosed spaces - 17%

Did This Poll Reveal Any "Surprise" Finds In Regards To People's Fears?
I did discover a couple of surprises from the overall findings.
Considering the fears listed above, one can conceivably assume that Americans are more afraid of public speaking than a fire.
One could also assume that the fear of flying is actually somewhat an anomaly in that only 2% of those polled say it was their biggest fear.
What If They Only Polled People In Louisiana
As the research was conducted across the entire country, the thought occurred to us that the list would look a lot different if it were only done in Louisiana.
In fact, not only would it be different, it could possibly be hysterically funny.
Keeping that in mind, take a look at how we think the findings would have looked if they just polled Louisiana folks. It's The Things Louisiana People Say They Fear the Most!
