when i was younger i used to belief that when you died you would come back to haunt the people that made fun of you or just did really mean things to other people and later that next day they would die the same way you did

i used to believe that if you were present at the moment something died, you could see its spirit exiting the body and going up to heaven like on the cartoons...

I believed that if you put a dying person in a totally sealed air-tight transparent glass box, when the person actually dies, the glass box would develop a small crack indicating that the soul (spirit) has escaped that way.

I used to believe that you die when you hit 100 years.
This caused me great distress, as I could count to 100 very fast.

One year when I was about 10 I went to my dance recital, and there was one of those posters with the alphabet on it with morbid-yet-poetic sayings for each word. For a long time after that, I didn't want to take a bath because I thought that the dead people from that poster were going to come and kill me.

My brother once told me (and I believed him) that the reason coffins were opened only half way was because they cut the lower half of the body off. EGAD! and at of all places my mother's wake.

I used to believe that it was possible to die from hiccups :]

i always thought that funerals were sad plays and that they were still living and they left to go to acting school. Damn i was a stupid child.

I was four years old when an elderly auntie, visiting from England, had a heart attack and died on our bathroom floor.

After the paramedics took her, I was afraid to go into the bathroom for the rest of the day, and I told my mother I didn't want to see the blood on the floor. I think the only experience I had with seeing dead things was roadkill, gutted fish, etc. and I assumed death had to be bloody.

I used to think that every star in the night sky repersent one of my previous friends from the past. Everytime i looked @ them, i would hum a melody and the stars would start to shine brighter. I still like to hum and watch the stars because of the comfort it brings.

When i was a childI used to think that when we die a man without eyes s with a big black cape he would shelter us and cut off our heads and that would go to hell and our body to heaven now I don't think that anymore.

I used to think that death was being born again inside another person or animal but it wasn't like that once when I was 10 years old I was knocked unconscious as a classmate hung up on me, my mind at that moment was somewhere else than I know how to describe it. But it was different and when I woke up I was in an ambulance and they told me I supposedly died for 1 minute but believe me that time was hours for me.

I used to believe that my passed relatives used to live inside the moon, and they were preparing a special japanese food :"moti"in there.
My mom used to tell this !

When i was a kid i believe that grandparents never died, until one day my grandad got heart problems and was hospitalised.

From about 1974, as a 4th grader I thought at any time next week...armageddon would be here and that all the "meek" would keep living forever...but first we had to clean up all the bones from all the dead people in the world. Mom said after the birds picked the meat off, that would be our job....But if you are bad..and not a Jehovah's Witness, you would "certainly perish"...and soon!
As any 4th grader, I hated missing all the fun of holidays, birthdays, etc...so I was bad in my mind...and lived till I was 25, wondering what day it would be....
I used to believe I had no future...

As a child, i was afraid of caskets and to this day i still am. My grandmother had a blanket i would never cover up in because it reminded me of the material inside of a casket was made of.

I used to believe that if you walked directly over someone's grave, they would haunt you forever.

My friends fooled my to touch a wire by a telephone pole and said that I would die before the end of the week afterwards. I was really scared!

My dad would drive past a funeral palour on our way home from school and it was called 'Docking Funerals' I thought for years that you had to dock a funeral when sombody died.
