This wasn't my belief, it was my sister's friend's. When he was a kid he would spend the evenings in the living room with his family. He thought that he had to look at them all in turn in a particular order and if he stopped, then the last person he looked at would die. He was also too scared to tell them why he did this. So every evening he would keep looking at everyone in turn and his siblings got really freaked out!
