Thirteen is decreed an unlucky number. So I’ve decided to cover a few infamous supernatural topics in the music world.

The most renowned story where the occult and music dance together is in the tale of Robert Johnson. The famous blues musician holds a specials place in history as one of the greatest guitarist in the world. The bluesman Son House made a comment that he was a poor guitar player but after a few years away with his father Robert Johnson returned as a force to be reckoned with. Lots of theories about how he got so good. Some say his father helped him, but a far more popular idea is that he sold his soul to the devil. He went from someone who could barely play guitar to one of its pioneers with a well defined and complex style. He wrote classic songs such as “Hellhound on my Trail,” about trying to escape the devils minions. And other songs of his mention Satan. Leading up to his death he felt ill and quickly died a few days later. People suggested that he was poisoned but it was never confirmed.
