I used to belive that when dead people were being transported in that nice shiney limo, they were being taken for there last ride to their favorite places before they were shove under the dirt.

When I was young I thought that if you were to lie on your back, perfectly straight, with your arms folded in an "x" over your chest and went to sleep that way you would die.

My father passed away when I was seven years old. I remember telling my mother after the funeral that we were all like God's Barbie dolls and when one of us broke we went home to him to get fixed.

When we were young my mom told us that if we ever hit our parents, that when we died we would be buried with one hand sticking out the grave, and that a man would come past and whip the hand everyday.
It terrified us for years, until we realised that we would be dead, so like, who cares ?!?

I was a twin and during pregnancy my twin died (complications). Well my parents never explained to me what happened just that it died. So I asked my brother who told me that the reason my twin died was because I was eating all the food and it starved to death. Being a very chubby kid I believed him. Only when I was old enough to know better was when I finally found out that it wasn’t true.

I used to believe that the more you talked, the sooner you would die. Needless to say, I was a quiet kid.

I used to believe that bodies that were embalmed would stay preserved forever.

My grandad died when I was quite young and my parents told me that he "passed away". A few weeks later my dad was doing some DIY around the house and he hurt his hand quite badly with a hammer. I could see that my Dad was in pain and my mum asked him if he thought he was going to pass out. I was horrified and burst into tears, I said "I don't want you to die Daddy". My Mum quickly explained that she only meant that Daddy might faint!

My belief was that heaven was on top of big white fluffy clouds, that men and women would be literally sat on these clouds dressed in ancient Greek style robes playing Connect Four. The first time I flew, I remember watching intently believing that we were going to see heaven, as we rose in the clouds, a little child screamed 'Polar Bear' waking my at times dippy mother who yelled look Becks a Polar Bear! At however many feet I intuitively realised that we couldn't see a Polar Bear on Earth but I was slightly bemused as to what has happed to Heaven.

I Used To Believe that you died when an angel came down for your soul and sucked it while u were asleep. Then one night at my friends sleepover, i was about 7 years old, i felt a sucking on my face, i got well scared but it was a girl who sed she luvd me!

I used to believe that dead people weren't put in coffins, they were just buried in the ground and at night the cemertry would be full of dead floating people scaring us away.
I used to hate going there in the daytime and at night!

When I was young I was told that my dad's friend Peter had died, and then a few days later someone brought over a baby called Peter, concequently this led me to believe that when someone died they turned back into a baby.
