Used to believe that my family members went to a different country, instead of acknowledging they had passed.

Well thank the parents for that one

When I was a kid, I use to believe, that groan people would die before kids.

i used to believe that when you die your body would morph into another person and that is how people were made i didnt realise about how women give birth until i was 7!!! my friend told me that you didnt get to choose who you morphed into so i was worried that i would turn into an ugly, grumpy old man but excited because i thought i might turn into someone famous or a cartoon character!

I used to believe that the R.I.P on graves meant that was the persons name 'rip', i always wondered why all the rip's seemed to be dying!

When the Queen Mother died when I was quite upset because I thought royalty did not die.

One year when I was about 10 I went to my dance recital, and there was one of those posters with the alphabet on it with morbid-yet-poetic sayings for each word. For a long time after that, I didn't want to take a bath because I thought that the dead people from that poster were going to come and kill me.

When I was really little my parents made me go to a funeral and touch the body. I asked why it was so hard and cold and I was told that it was really wood that had been in the freezer because right after someone dies they go to heaven and then someone has to recreate the body. When I asked why some people did not have bodies to touch they said they did not have a good picture to redo them!

WOO

When i was younger i used to think that when a person died they were thrown into the rubbish bin

My Grandmother died at our home when I was 9, I believed her ghost would rush out at me unless I ran really fast past her bedroom at night afterwards.
I was really glad when we moved house because her ghost would not be able to come with me to the new house.

Brenda

a friend once told me that when u burp, sneez and fart at the same time u would die and i believed her.

When I heard that someone had died and were going to be buried, I thought that their body was just thrown into a hole and covered up with dirt.

I use to believe that on Halloween you shouldn't walk near or through cemetaries or you would see the souls of the dead floating above their graves. I thought that at midnight after all the kids were done trick or treating that all the evil beings would gather and have a meeting of how to cause chaos in there area that year

My cousins and I came to the conclusion at our eldest aunts open casket wake that since she was dead the watch she was wearing must be dead too. We used to believe that your watch would stop if you died. That kind of made me not want to wear a watch anymore, but hahaha I won't take mine off now.

When my sister and I were young we used to believe that in order to be dead your tongue had to be hanging out. No exceptions.

I used to believe that when people were cremated and buried in small graves, that they were buried head upwards. So they were standing underneath the grave, and whenever I accidently walked over them, I thought I was pushing their feet into the centre of the Earth.
