When I was little, I always lifted my feet off the floor of the car when we passed a graveyard. Someone had told me once if I didn't do this the souls of the dead would latch onto my feet and pull my soul out from my body. I did this up until I was 15 and I was learning to drive... I kept my feet on the pedals but I was sure tempted to lift them off.
