This Day In History: Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th movies was apparently born on this day in 1946, although he never actually existed.
"Born to Elias and Pamela Voorhees on June 13, 1946, Jason was an unfortunate child from the get-go. He suffered with ailments that caused major facial and physical deformities, including hydrocephalus and mental disabilities. Raised in Crystal Lake, Jason spent his time as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake, where his mother worked as a cook. Jason's mother kept him tucked away from the world, isolated and homeschooled because she feared how he'd be treated; she always was marked with a very protective nature. The one time she let him out of her sight, he was placed in the care of camp counselors, who left him unattended and vulnerable when they were off fraternizing and not paying attention to the campers. Bullies at the camp ended up throwing Jason from the docks, resulting in his death by drowning." Source
