death: people

once when i was at my uncle's funeral (he'd died very suddenly) and the minister opened up the sermon with, "we can't even really believe he's dead..." my brother got really freaked out and turned to my parents, worriedly asking, "wait...we don't know he's dead??" he thought we might be burying him alive!!!

I used to think that the actors who died in movies actually died. I thought the directors had a casting call before shooting the movie where people who wanted to die would line up and get assigned parts.

I used to belive that if u step on someones grave their hands would come out of the ground ,grab you and put u in the coffin in the place of the dead body. I thought tbhey did that so the dead person can live longer

I never thought that people would die when they grow old. I used to think that we will just keep growing and growing and growing. Growing taller, and growing bigger.

Thus for some time, i wondered, where the BIG old giants who have grown for the past 100+++ years were because i dont see them out of my window.

I used to belive that when an animal or a person passed away that they turned into a cloud in the sky and floated away to heaven.

when i was young i used to believe a wake was when you waited for the dead person to wake up

When I was a kid I thought my mother would poison me to death. She never did it, and are and have always been a normal, non childmurdering mother.

I used to think that when you died, and went to heaven, God would meet you there (I thought he'd look something between Albus Dumbledore and Santa Clause) and take you to a place where they have these inverted conics, with televisions attached to them, and you and God would sit in the clouds and watch your life from beginning to end with each other. he would then decide whether you could stay in heaven, or go to a cloud jail, which is where the bad people went, because I thought God was to nice to send people to Hell.

I had this belief that when someone died they didn't actually die but just took a really long nap. I figured that was why my grandma's coffin looked like a really comfortable bed and that it was just like a coma where you could never wake up. I figured that I should say good-bye anyway, though I wasn't sad because she must have having pleasant dreams to not respond to us.

When I was 9 years old, I thought a Serial Killer was when someone put poison in cereal boxes. For the longest time, I avoided eating cereal in the mornings and never brought it up to my parents because I didn't want to make them upset.

When I was a little kid I believed that everyone's heart in my family beat at the same time. I thought that if one of us died we would feel their heart stop beating.

When I was little I thought if you had a dream about falling that if you hit the ground you'd die instantly from heart attack.

When I was around the age of seven I recall the television report outlining the life and death of the actor who played Ronald McDonald. I was terrified because before I heard this I never thought anybody I knew would actually die, and I felt as if I knew Ronald. For the next couple of years I feared death and thought for sure I would die in my sleep.

I used to believe that if you jumped over somebody lying on the ground, your mom would die unless you jumped them again the opposite way.

I thought that you could stop your heart and die if you hit yourself on the chest hard enough. This of course made me fear for the life of anybody impersonating Tarzan or a Gorilla of some sort.

i used to think when people died and when they were in the coffin at church they would suddenly sit up in the coffin everyone would clap and everyone would be happy
