I used to hold my breath everytime we drove past a cemetary because if you breathed the bodies would be able to absorb your oxygen and then turn into zombies. Needless to say, if we passed a particularly large cemetary I would be quite purple by the time it was 'safe'. I admit, even now, I sometimes still hold my breath when I pass a cemetary!

i used to think that death was only temporary, but when i was 4 i realized that i would die eventually and i wouldn't come back to life, because of the line in the song "Puff the Magic Dragon" ---- "dragons live forever, but not so little boys" (even though i'm a girl). I couldn't sleep because i was imagining all my stuffed animals living forever when i die.

When I was little I thought that you could die inside, or you would bump your head when your spirit ascended. My mom wasn't sure what to tell me about this, since she thought I probably felt pretty safe inside.

I used to believe that my old grandmother had a long life and was still alive because she had also forgotten to die due to forgetfulness brought about by old age. This was long ago before I knew the term, "Alzheimer's Disease"

I used to believe that 'prosecuted' meant the same as 'exterminated', so the signs on the wall of our local cricket ground; 'Trespassers will be prosecuted' scared me to death. I thought there were daleks in there...

When I was about 7, my brother told me that if you write the name of a dead person in red, their ghosts will come and haunt you. Till today, I'm still afraid of writing the name of a dead person inred.

I used to believe that the instant you died your name automatically appeared in the bible, so when my Grandma died I asked if she was in the bible.

when i was about 4 i seriously thought that after you were buried i thought these huge tubes were connected to the casksets and would either suck you up or down considering how you behaved when you were alive. although thats what i believed i was always confused as to why i never saw any of these tubes..i guess i figured it happened at night when no one saw.

I thought dead ment you would be buried 500 feet under the sand, I didn't know it meant you weren't alive.

I used to believe that when you died, you just layed in your coffin forever, and I was scared because I thought I would be bored.

I was always told that people go to heaven when they die. I thought that when they died, their bodies physically floated all the way up to heaven. I remember hoping that no one ever died in a car because then there would be a big hole in the roof of the car after they went to heaven.

— Nikki

i used to believe that if you were present at the moment something died, you could see its spirit exiting the body and going up to heaven like on the cartoons...

When I was younger, my mum was watching Oprah, and Oprah was doing a show on conjoined twins. I decided that when one twin died, the other would drag around a dead twin on herself until she died many years later.
