When I was a kid, my mom used to take me to funerals. I always wanted to go with her to view the body so I could sneak in a touch to see if it was real. I used to beleive that funeral homes would make statues of the people and put them in caskets because they were so hard.

I used to believe that everyone died when they became 100 years old, so everyone would be really scared the day before their 100th birthday because they knew they were going to die the next day.

I used to believe that when people got shot in the head that their heads would blow up.

i used to beleive that when you died your soul went up to heaven and god asked you if you wanted to go back down or stay in heaven and if you wanted to go back down god asked what creature would you like to live again as. you would be born again as that creature (or human if you wanted) and your memory would be blank, you wouldnt remember that you were once something else.(even though you'd still have the same soul) i somewhat still beleive this...

When I was about 8, I was afraid of the year 2000 thinking the world would end and I would never be able to graduate or get married, etc., I remember telling my family about this fear but nothing they ever said helped me. I didn't get over it until one of my friends told me that I shouldn't worry b/c God was still making babies and that when he stopped making babies, that's when the world would end. I remember the comfort I felt whenever I saw a pregnant woman.

when i was little i used to think that since everyone said heaven was in the sky and hell was in the ground, when people were dead and burried they went to hell and the ones that werent burried went up to heaven.

I used to believe that bodies that were embalmed would stay preserved forever.

I used to believe that people were dead in graveyards because those huge stone (gravestones) had fallen on them.

when i was a kid i wondered what happened to all the people who died in action movies. i finally convinced myself that they simply hired someone who was willing to die to play the villain then kill them.

I used to believe that when a child died they would go to heaven and were allowed to drive around little child cars. And adults weren't allowed to drive them, so I always wanted to die as a child.

I used to be terrified of the numbers 18 and 19. I think I thought that when you turned 18 or 19, you die.

When we were young my brother and I convinced my sister that when people died, they exploded and made a huge mess. She cried, it was great. She believed it until mom and dad found out and made us correct ourselves to her.

When I was 8 my uncle died of a drug overdose. My parents told me that he died because of drugs, which I interpreted to mean that if I ever used illegal drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes, I would drop dead. Even when I got older and knew it was irrational, I would not touch any of that stuff.

I thought you always die if you get shot (no matter where you get shot) I learned the truth when I was watching some movie with me mom where someone gets shot and survives and I asked "how did he do that I thought you always die if you get shot"

When I was a kid, I used to believe that if I jumped in the gymnasium, my reflection would fall to the ceiling (reflection) below me. I thought that if I jumped, and lost my reflection I would die!

I used to believe that just by touching the poison that kills insects, you would die in an hour. Once I was in my house I accidentally touched an insect sprayed with said poison. I was very worried I thought that I would die at any moment, I did not know how long an hour was!

This one is purely ridiculous but I used to think that Bin Laden was killed by other terrorists because they were trying to protect people from him, rather than defeat him and win their own battle!
