I used to think that my parents would die before they got home. So I used to believe that if I just said something like: "I hope my parents don´t die" to god, many, many times they wpuld get home safe.
But they always did so I don´t know if it helped or was just something in my head.

for most of my young childhood years i believed, because my sister told me, that African natives who were about to die would have their hearts pulled out of their chests so they could see them before they died. (why would they?! but hey, my sister told me so it had to be true!)

one time, when i was little, my mom told me to go wake up grandma. well, i go into my grandma's room, and her arms were folded across her chest, like you see dead people in movies. i was so scared, i couldn't speak. after about 5 minutes i was finally able to tell my mom grandma had passed. she laughed at me and woke her up. she said 'do you think people really die like that?' i was still too scared to answer

scared silly

my mum was discussing with my aunt doner cards in america, saying how it was a good idea the doctors could take all yr organs out to save other people, failing to mention it was only if u died. i thought everyone at some point would have to go to hospital and give them all there organs. i was terrified that americans were going to bring these cards over here and whenever i saw something made in america, i would be scared shitless the carda where next.

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 when people died, their bodies would immediately turn in to a skeleton

I used to belive that the New Years ball exploded, and people who were near it died.

My dad once told my sister and I when we were fighting that if you went to bed mad at someone, one of you might not wake up, i.e. die. I believed this for years, and he denies ever telling me this to this day!

i've always thought if someone died the would got to heaven or the other place. But if God couldn't decide you would stay on earth and that's why some people would have strokes and not die.

I swear I used to think that the mateneince shed in cemetaries were actually the cremetorium. I have no idea where this idea came from, but I was completely convinced.

My grandmother, sane to this day, 90 years old and counting, told me as a child that my hand would wag above my grave if I hit my mother. To the best of my knowledge, I never in my life hit my mother anyway - before or after my grans advice.However, it made me terrified to pass a cemetery, ( I had to look the other way) in case of skeletal greetings!

When I was a kid. We had a dog and one of her tricks waswhen someone said die to her she used to roll over on her back So I used to think this is the postion dead people would take was on their back with arms and legs in the air

My uncle told me he knew someone you died, because they choked and wear lying on their back. I was terrified that night and i still refuse to sleep on my back and its been 7 years since i last did so...

For reasons that escape me and in spite of the evidence all about me, I was convinced for many a year that people died on their birthdays.

Oddly, I never feared my own. Probably because I thought only old people died.

i thought RIP meant Ri I Parken (norwegian)
Means in english= Ride In the Park!
And then I thought all the people riding on a horse in the park was dead... scary...

I used to belief that I was gifted just like some one with special powers.I used to think that i would not die and fall sick.Even if I do when I was young I would pretend that I was all right.Right now in my 20's I found out I was going to die.I do hope i would still live my chilhood beliefs and hope for survival.

I used to believe that everyone had a certain amount of oxygen in their body that they breath throughout your life, and when you run out of oxygen, you die. When I was little I would try not to breath too much so I would live long.
