When I was little, I was told constantly by my Grandpa that Alabama had purple hoop snakes. To move they had to hold onto their tail with their mouth and become a hoola hoop. From here, they would roll down hills.
I stronly believed him for years. Arguing with anyone who told me they didn't exsist. I later found out in grade 6 that they weren't real. :D

i used to beleive that mice turned into elephants. i don't know where i got this beleif, as i was well aware that there were baby elephants. i remember once when we had mice in our house and i was so worried that they would turn into elephants and break through the ceiling, or stomp on us.

in my senior year of high school, i was taking an environmental science course. one day, we were talking about the different biomes, and the animals that lived in them. when we got to the tundra, someone mentioned reindeer, and my friend started to laugh. she was like "there's no such thing as reindeer! yeah, sure, they live in the north pole and they fly around with santa..." we had to explain to her that reindeer DO exist, they just don't fly.

have you ever seen the commercials for the cadburry eggs they have at easter? it's basically just a bunny sitting there next to a basket of the eggs.
as a direct result of this advertising campaign, a friend of mine used to believe until 9th grade that rabbits layed eggs.

When I was little, we had one of those automatic car washes down the street. This particular one had picture of a donkey next to its name. Being young, I was petrified of sitting in the car as it went through the car wash. So my mother, trying to calm my nerves, told me that there were donkeys in the car wash. I don't think I had ever freaked out so bad in my life! I pictured donkeys lurking up in the machinery, then jumped down and smashing the windows of our car with their hooves!

When I was seven my family moved from New Mexico back to Texas and my pet Beta Bubbles apparently didn't make the move. When I asked where he was, my dad said he was still on his way. When I got home from school, I discovered a purple fish (bubbles was yellow) and exclaimed "Wow dad! Bubbles changed colors!!!"

When I was young I used to read books about shark attacks (some fictional some not). One day I read a story about a shark that swam up river into fresh water and attacked people. This story led me to believe that there were lake sharks and I would never swim in lakes because of it. (It didn't help me any that my best friend at the time found out and would try to scare me).
jjj
My grandad told me that the only way you could possibly scare a shark was to swim backwards and make a noise like a cheese.I believed him. When I found out it wasn't true, I cried like a six year old child, which I was.

When I was about 5, we lived right near the ocean, and my mom and I would often take walks on the beach. One day, I saw flying fish for the first time, and I thought for sure that they would fly out of the water one night and get me. I refused to call them flying fish, and instead called them "devil fish". I was deathly afraid of them for quite a while, and I still don't really like them.

My older sister told me squirrels were poisonous, and I believed her until I was 9.

I used to believe that since humans peed a liquid that fish must have peed air and thats why there were bubbles in the water.
