Today is World Occult Day – a day celebrating all things “hidden” and “paranormal”.

Studies suggest numerology adds to the mystery of the occult – especially the number 13.

ISIS has claimed responsibility to carrying out the slaughter of 132 innocent people across Paris.

So what has sent online conspiracy theorists into a frenzy?

The Paris attacks unfolded on Friday 13th – that feared day in Western culture when the superstitious take extra care crossing the road.

According to legend, the Knights Templar was banished, arrested and outlawed from Paris on Friday, October 13, 1307 – some 708 years before the atrocities in the same city.

Some claim Friday 13th is an important day in the Satanic calendar which, according to some online crackpots, follows a date line involving human sacrifice.

Another conspiracist was quick to point out Church of Satan contains 13 letters.

Can you see a pattern emerging here?

But perhaps the most chilling is what was unfolding in the Bataclan theatre as the gunmen stormed the venue.

The Californian band Eagles of Death Metal were half way through their sold-out set as the horror began with the chilling pop of Kalashnikovs.

But what sent conspiracy theorists into a spin was the song they were performing the moment the building was stormed – Kiss the Devil.

Many believe the devil, or Satan, is connected to the occult.

Kiss the Devil features the lyrics, “I’ll love the devil, I’ll sing his song, I will love the devil and his song”, which a section of conspiracy theorists suggest could be the soundtrack to a symbolic ritual of bloodshed and Satan worshipping.

All of this despite a major manhunt for the suspects, ISIS claiming responsibility, and emotional tributes being paid to the victims.

Eagles of Death Metal have since released a statement expressing how devastated the band has been left following the attrocities.

Bizarrely, a Twitter bot sparked fears of a global conspiracy by tweeting the death toll from a "Paris terror attack" had risen to 120 at 7.44pm on November 11 – two days before the killings.
