I used to believe that there was a small man living inside your chest and he had a stick and he would beat the inside of your chest. When he got tired after many years he would stop, and you would die because your heart had stopped. I remember this because the adults were discussing the death of someone, and they said that he had chest pains, and his heart stopped, and he died.

I used to think that everyone in the world lived for exactly the same amount of time, 100 years, and then just dropped dead on their one hundredth birthday.

I was four when my grandmother died. My mom explained to me what death was and that grandma would not be coming back. So when someone asked about what happened to my grandmother not too long afterwards I explained to them that she was in prison, because I didn't understand that someone could go anywhere else for a long time and not come back.

I used to believe,after my uncle died, that if i wrote him a letter and put it under my pillow, he could read it maybe.

My grandma died when I was young. I used to believe that on days when the clouds were really puffly and the skies really blue, if I looked hard enough, I could see my Grandma watching me. All the angles could peek over the puffy clouds and see everyone on earth.

My granpa dies when i was five, and he was like, a gun collector or something and a Christian. So when they put him in his coffin I could see his gun. When they put him in the gorund iand said, "As Arnold moves into the holy place," I was like, "Oh. That MUST mean he's taking a trip. And the gun MUST protect him. I thought from then on they were taking a trip to the center of the earth.

When I was 6, I believed that the Grim Ripper killed little girls.For Halloween my older sister dressed up as the Grim Ripper. At 2 o'clock in the morning she came in with her costume on and started shaking me and whispering in creepy voice "Tonight you will die." After that I jumped off my bed and ran into my parents room. That was were I fell and got a scar on my face I still have today. I still didnt believe my parents when they told me it was my sister. I still believe that the Grim Ripper only killed little girls until I was 8 and watched the movie and realized there were no little girls in it.

When I was younger, 4-5 years, me and my bro. liked to swim a lot. Our mom, ever anxious about our well being, told us that if we EVER went to swim in the lake, and drowned, that she would then give us such a spanking, that we couldn`t sit for two weeks. Anyway I believied this for many years...
