i used to believe that caskets look like ordinary wodden boxes, rather small and they would have inscriptions like "handle with care" and "this side up". of course you would have to fold the dead people to get them inside....
i have never been to a funeral in my childhood.

I used to believe that everyone died when they became 100 years old, so everyone would be really scared the day before their 100th birthday because they knew they were going to die the next day.

i used to believe that when you thought of dying someond died

it doesn't seem like a good belief but once i thought of it while around a friend once and he dropped dead..........................................i never recovered ........

I used to think that when people died, their whole bodies were taken up to heaven, not just their spirits.

When I was about 10 I was told by two girls who were babysitting me as we walked though a cemetary that if I walked on a grave a chickenman would jump out of it and peck me to death. i totally belived it too and had nightmares.

i used to think that when people died they would be covered in blood like in the movies when they got shot.

When my son was four a very loved neighbor passed away. I sat David down on the porch to tell him about Grampa Bob. I looked into his little face and told him but he did not understand. So I asked him if he remembered when his goldfish died? He got this terrible look on his face and asked me how Grampa Bob would fit down the toilet!

My dad told me that when people died they were on top of the clouds or they were stars.

For one reason or another, my sister used to believe that whenever someone, anyone, died, their body would atomatically assume the position of Christ; that is, their feet together and their arms splayed outwards.

When I was a kid, my mom used to take me to funerals. I always wanted to go with her to view the body so I could sneak in a touch to see if it was real. I used to beleive that funeral homes would make statues of the people and put them in caskets because they were so hard.

I used to believe when you died you go to a cloud wherever it chooses if you stay there go to hell or heaven and while you were there u met the fairy god mother and the tooth fairy. YES YES i got it from a movie but i was like 7. I am now 13 so I know my differences. :)

I once sucked the liquid out of a purple magic marker when I was about 4. When my sister saw my tongue she said, "Oh no! You're going to die!" A couple of minutes later my mother saw my tongue and immediately started scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush. She too said, "You're going to die!" I didn't fully understand the concept of what death was, I said, "Oh, umm, okay."

I used to hold my breath every time a stranger passed me on the streets because I thought that if they had cancer and I breathed in their air, I would get cancer too...and I would hold my breath as long as I could in old people's houses, because I thought the weird smell was death, and I would breath it in and die sooner.

At the split second you die, you actually get transported to a parallel universe where you witness your survival.

I used to believe that when people die, they turn into the clouds. and if you looked hard enough, you could see their spirits. Even the spirits of dragons were up there from long ago

I used to believe that the people who were laying in coffins underground weren't really dead. That they were just laying there, staring up into the darkness of the coffin. Then I'd think "well, what do they do when they're bored?"
