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...

when i was little, i was deathly afraid of dying. i would have my dad check my pulse every night before i went to bed just to make sure my heart was still beating. i had this fear until one day my mom and dad took me to the hospital to have a full check up to show that i was healthy.

My father told me at one time that Richard Dean Anderson, my childhood hero from MacGyver had died in real life. I was so upset until recent years when I saw Stargate. Happy as a squirrel since then.

My brother used to tell me when mum went out that she'd been killed in a car crash and was never coming back.

When my grandma died and was at her funeral I thought she was just sleeping and thought she would wake up and attack me cuz I watched 2 much Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the time and they always wake up

when my sister and I were young, she told me that if I went to sleep laying on my back, i would die. I believed her for years.

When I was a little girl (like 5-6 yoa), my grandmother explained to me that people are buried after death. Obviously, I got uncomfortable with the idea of being beneath the ground forever and not feeling anything, so she told me that a tree can grow on a dead person's burial site. I thought people could be buried anywhere (not just at cemeteries) and started to worry that passers-by could hurt me by picking at my leaves. So I asked my grandma if there'd be a way to protect me from that, to which she replied that people shouldn't do that kind of stuff with any tree...

when i was little i was convinced i had an explanation to why nobody was ever actually dead and that no one died! i think it had to do with the fact the body was still there and didnt just disappear therefore they were still alive. if only i could remember my theory who knows i may have held the mystery of death and the afterlife in my hands and just thrown it away! (there again it could also have been the fact i was about 5 and my nan had died 2 years before and i was still trying to cope with that!!)

When I was very young I used to love the smell of petrol (gasoline), and one day my sister told me one of her friend's brothers liked the smell so much that he drank some. This, in turn, caused him to die - it put me off petrol for a while. To this day I still don't know whether it's true or not.

Used to believe that my family members went to a different country, instead of acknowledging they had passed.

Well thank the parents for that one

when i was little, i knew that when people die, you bury them,so i was always worrying what would happen if they bury me alive, having made a mistake about me being dead!

I used to believe that when people died they came back on choo choo trains that was similar to the train in the movie Dumbo

When my sister was 6 or 7, she was playing with a lead ball that we had for some reason. She was rolling it on her cheek and it touched her tongue, and she cried and thought she would die.
