people

I used to believe that souls were actually kites. & when people died, the kites would fly themselves up to heaven.

When I was 4 i belived that people just dropped dead for no reason what so ever. I would imagine my self walking down to the pool and just falling over. I have no idea where that came from.

drop dead

I used to believe that when you die you come back to life in the form of a bird or some other animal. One day when I was about 8 I was throwing rocks as I liked to test my aim, and I inadvertently injured a bird on a wire. For years I thought I re-killed someone and I prayed they wouldn't come after me.
Pretty silly now considering you only die once and all dead people are still in the grave.

When I was 3 or 4 years old, I used to believe the moon was my dead grand-mother and if I was not nice she would come punish me.

For the longest time I used to believe (kinda still do) that when people died in their sleep, they had that falling-from-the-sky dream and didn't wake up before they hit the ground.

I used to belief that I was gifted just like some one with special powers.I used to think that i would not die and fall sick.Even if I do when I was young I would pretend that I was all right.Right now in my 20's I found out I was going to die.I do hope i would still live my chilhood beliefs and hope for survival.

My mother's father died when she was 13. Before I reached that age I was afraid of turning 13, thinking I would lose my Dad, too.

Berni

I used to think that if you smell cotton, it would block your nose and you would die ... even at the age of 11

Prodip Mitra

I used to think that if you entered a grave yard, that is when you died. I found it to be perfectly logical! But my parents quickly corrected (of course, now I have a rather unnatural obsession with cemetaries).

i thought RIP meant Ri I Parken (norwegian)
Means in english= Ride In the Park!
And then I thought all the people riding on a horse in the park was dead... scary...

johny too-good

When I was about 7, I started to believe that if I went to sleep on my back with my hands folded over my stomach (like the traditional body in a coffin pose) that God would think I was dead and snatch me away to Heaven. I never slept on my back again just in case I put my hands like that. I got into such a habit that I still can never sleep on my back.

When I was a littl'un and would get Deja Vu, I'd always think someone was going to stab me in the back a couple of seconds later.

I passed the Coroner's Court in Sheffield frequently, and regarded it with trepidation, since I thought that at an inquest the body of the deceased was in court, and that if I looked through the windows I might see a rotting corpse. I'm told that in the distant past this was actually so!

Ray Ward

All throughout my childhood, I believed that if I didn't hold my breath and put my feet up on the seat in front of me while going by a cemetery (in a car or bus, of course) and then count five red cars afterwards, in which only then I could breathe again, I'd have nightmares. And since I was a little kid, nightmares were a pretty scary thing.

Sometimes I still hold my breath while going by a cemetery. I haven't had a nightmare in quite a few years. :-)

Kagome

When i used to go to my grandads place he used to tell me that if i wasn't a good boy the coockie monster from sesame street would come and kill me with a poisinus booga during the night
