I used to believe that when someone died the ambulance would take them to the hospital where they would be brought back to life. I learned this was not true when my grandpa died when I was five.

I used to beleive that when some one would die the 'grim reaper' would get thiem... but with an odd diffreence. The grim reaper wore a flourecent orange PVC jacket and tight reptile skin pants, he looked like the person or animal (animal reaper wore the jacket and pants too) he was about to kill and when it was time to die he would hit you over the head with his guitar (he carried a large guitar) and said "Ha ha your dead) The person would fall to the floor. As a child i had a huge fear of glam rock bands coz they all dressed like this and carried guiars... I'm 29 and still have a fear of rock stars

When I was about seven, I went through a phase. I thought that everything I did I was going to die. If I stepped in a grease pool (from a car) with my good shoes on I was going to catch on fire. And if I put my plastic toys in the bathtub they would melt and burn me. And i also thought that if I got a carpet burn I would, well, burn. One day I got a carpet burn and started crying and screaming and It turned out my knees were just red. That was the end of that phase.

When I was little-little (3? 4?) way back in the crime-drama-and-violent-cartoon-filled 70's, I used to completely and utterly believe that if you laid down with your arms straight out to the side and your legs slightly spread (think classic "dead person pose"), and then closed your eyes and stuck your tongue out the side of your mouth, you'd drop dead instantly. I thought that when someone "died in their sleep" it meant that they had accidentally posed the death pose while they were asleep, and died. I was TERRIFIED that I'd do it to, so I started sleeping on my stomach. (For some reason, I believed the pose only worked if you were on your back.)

To this day (many, many, many years later), I still sleep on my stomach.

When I was little, I believed that when humans or animals died, they'd turn into another animal, plant or human.

I used to think that when there were going to be people who died in a movie, the producers held a meeting of people who wanted to die in real life and then chose someone to cast in the movie and that person actually died.

When I was small, I read the goosebumps book with the camera that would show your fate in it. I became very scared and the next time we took family pictures... My face went pale and eyes dilated before they took the picture. I freaked out about it and it took us half an hour to get another picture.

When I was little I thought my grandmothers oldest brother had died of heart disease. When she corrected me, years later that he had, in fact, died in the war, she asked me why I thought that.
"I thought you said he had a Purple heart." I replied

One night, I heard an ambulance accompanied by a loud, awful moaning sound. I thought it was from the spirit of the dying person being carried away in the ambulance. I turned out to be the neighbour's dog.

my mum was discussing with my aunt doner cards in america, saying how it was a good idea the doctors could take all yr organs out to save other people, failing to mention it was only if u died. i thought everyone at some point would have to go to hospital and give them all there organs. i was terrified that americans were going to bring these cards over here and whenever i saw something made in america, i would be scared shitless the carda where next.
