The Thirteen Club was a group in the late 1800s that really wanted to debunk the legend that 13 people at a table would always result in the death of one of them the next year. They would meet on the 13th of the month and have a 13-person dinner. To make things even more interesting they would spill salt on the table— and NOT throw it over their shoulders (shocking).

They fined members 13 cents for showing up late. 5 presidents were members of this strange club: Benjamin Harrison, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Chester A. Arthur.
