A childhood belief about people

When we would go on school trips in elementary school, a rumour went around that if you didn't hold you're breath when going past a cemetary, the souls of the dead people could enter your body with your breath. Also, when going over bridges, it was best to keep your feet off the floor in case the water rose and the bridge bacame flooded. That way your feet didn't get wet. Plus, we were convinced if you didn't duck your head when going under bridges and such, that the bridge would be too low and cut your head off.

We were morbid kids, but I still hold me breath when going past a graveyard.
