when i was in fourth grade a few friends and I wanted to contact ghosts....having seen The Shining and Amityville Horror 3-D we were convinced that contact had everything to do with place...So, we decided the safest place to contact a ghost would be at the foot of the altar at our Catholic School's church...four of us one afternoon sat in a circle holding hands calling to a dead person below the altar...ten minutes into it we were busted by the old widow who took care of the church
A childhood belief about ghosts

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that contact lenses were made out of fish scales— ddm
- I thought that a mosque (a muslim church) was a place where mosquitoes live.Anon
- I used to believe the local Catholic church was Disney Land.— Sherri
- I used to think that church songs were pop music. Well, we did sing them in church every week...— Roxy
- My fiance was in church as a kid and he saw the Vicar of the church and asked his Mum if it was God.— Andys fiancee
- I heard the song about Heaven being a place where nothing ever happened and thought, "What a boring place."Anon
