When I heard that someone had died and were going to be buried, I thought that their body was just thrown into a hole and covered up with dirt.

I used to believe that when people were cremated and buried in small graves, that they were buried head upwards. So they were standing underneath the grave, and whenever I accidently walked over them, I thought I was pushing their feet into the centre of the Earth.

When I was little I thought for some reason that peoples souls looked like black mini wheats, but they were a bit bigger, about the size of a beach ball. When you died they floated out through the top of your head up to heaven sorta like a helium balloon.

I believed one of the greatest dangers you could face was quick sand. I was scared to death of it.

I was two when my mom told me that Doctor Suess died. For some reason I thought he was the guy who made animal crackers.

I thought everyone lived to be exactly 100 and then died on their 100th birthday (if they didn't die from accident, murder etc before then) Later when I learned about life expectancy I thought everyone in that country lived to be exactly that age and then died.

When I was young, my Mom planted flowers on her relatives' graves. So one day she said to 4-year-old me, " We're going to plant flowers for great grandma."
I replied, "Yay, we're going to visit grandma!"
"You know grandma's not really in the cemetery," she said, worried about me.
"Of course! Her body is in the cemetery, but her head I'd in heaven!"
She swears I said this in a vice that suggested she was stupid.

I used to believe that I couldn't pass by the cemetery at night because the dead people would wake up.

When I was a kid I was convinced that the world would end by a nucleur explosion.

I used to believe that if I didnt get every single piece of paper into the waste bin on every throw that something awful would happen to my mum and she would die.

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 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 people got shot in the head that their heads would blow up.

i use to believe that when you died you were reborn, but you had different mommies and daddies

i used to beleive that when you died your soul went up to heaven and god asked you if you wanted to go back down or stay in heaven and if you wanted to go back down god asked what creature would you like to live again as. you would be born again as that creature (or human if you wanted) and your memory would be blank, you wouldnt remember that you were once something else.(even though you'd still have the same soul) i somewhat still beleive this...

When I was about 8, I was afraid of the year 2000 thinking the world would end and I would never be able to graduate or get married, etc., I remember telling my family about this fear but nothing they ever said helped me. I didn't get over it until one of my friends told me that I shouldn't worry b/c God was still making babies and that when he stopped making babies, that's when the world would end. I remember the comfort I felt whenever I saw a pregnant woman.
