I used to believe that R.I.P. on a tombstone meant you had to rip it to make that person come alive again.So one day I went to my granny's grave and tried to rip the tombstone.

I thought dead ppl came back as zombies and ate peoples brains and that is why they buried the ppls undergrounds so the zombies could not escape.
And i was r8 scared of zombies

i used to believe that people didn't die but decided to spend the rest of forever underground in a dark casket. Also, if one dead person wanted another person's casket because theirs was nicer, they would have dead person fights in the less nice casket and the winner moved to the nice casket.

I used to believe that you had to be an adult in order to die, because of all the times on tv and movies when characters said "I'm too young to die."

My mate used to live near a cemetry and we would walk through it occasionally. He used to tell me not to walk on top of the old graves because you'd wake up the dead people.
We did a lot of jumping.

I was told that if you touched a dead person they would reach out and grab you. It wasn't until I was a teenage that I realized it wasn't true, but I still don't want to test it.

Susan

I used to believe that when I died, the whole world would end.

When I was 4 years old my grandfather died--we did not go to the funeral but someone took a photo at the calling hours of the casket. My mother showed it to me after several months when it was developed and told me "See how Grandpa looks like he's sleeping?" I had just been to the gravesite, and thought everyone who was dead in the cemetary was buried in big rooms with pink curtains, candlebulb chandeliers, and plenty of flowers.

Growing up in the country, I would always see buzzards eating dead
animals. I was afraid that once you die, you get laid out in the field and
the buzzards would eat you. Still scares me today, but I know better now..

When my grandad died I was only 4 years old. My mum told me that he was needed by God to paint the skies blue as he was a painter and decorator. When ever there was a brilliant blue sky I would look up and say to my parents and my nan that it was grandad's shift starting!

When I was very little, I had an Aunt Minnie who was always very sick. She was near death at one point, and my mom suggested that I write her a get well card. Here's what I wrote: "Dear Aunt Minnie, I hope you did not die. If you did, please write me back soon. Love, Amanda"

Amanda

when my little brother was about 5 he asked my dad, "dad did you die when you were younger?"
i think he thought you can die and carry on living

one day when i was quite young i was helping my mum set up a party for work, you know, decorations, balloons etc. i tried blowing a balloon up, and because you have to stretch them to make it easier, i couldnt do it, so my mum blew it up half way for me. but me being me wanted to do it all myself now, so i let the air out.
"well that was a waste of breath" she said, but i took it literally and thought we only had a certain amount of air to breath and we'd all eventually die when it ran out because of people who wasted it on whistles and sneezing etc.
weird eh?

When I was little, I used to think a dead person always looked the same way: eyes closed, tounge hanging out off to the side of their mouth.

Amanda Landry

My mom told me when I was about 9 that if you looked at a centipede long enough for it to count you teeth you would die before morning. I walked around with my hand over my mouth whenever I was outside for about a year

Lolly

i thought that when people got to a certain age (80 or so) they would start getting young and become a baby. i was 8 years old and talking about when "I was born again", imagine my disbelief when my mother explained death to me...i was horrified, the shock never really wore off.

I used to believe that when someone died their head fell off, even if they'd did of say, a heart attack. I think this came from how a dead person if always referred to as a body, as in "they're going to cremate the body". It just seemed natura to assume that they either did something else with the head or that it fell of.

Bethan

I always used to wonder how an actor that had died in his previous movie had come to life again in his next flick. I actually thought that actors had superpowers so that they could return from the dead.

Chaitanya

I remember I started wondering how old my mom was when I was about 6. I asked her a few times, but she never would tell me, and would always end up to changing the subject. Then one day she answered and said she was 32. I was dumbfounded and disheartened. In that instant I believed my mother was very old, and did not have much longer to live. I spent the next sleepless week following my mom around, staring at her while she slept in bed to make sure she was still breathing, panicking when I heard her coughing from a cold that she had, and pounding on the bathroom door when I thought she was too quite in there. Honestly, it took me a good week to get over that one.
