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!

When I was young I wanted to join the airforce, because when I was killed in action I would not have so far to go to reach heaven.

Dying Again

Around the age of 5, for no reason I have ever been able to figure out, I believed that mannequins were corpses. When you died, you got turned into a mannequin. Then a pet died and was buried, and I learned the basics of natural decay.

When I saw people get shot on tv when I was young, I used to think they were dead if they fell to the ground with their arms over their head. If their arms were down by their side, I thought they would be okay.

I thought that we all lived forever and there was no death.
It wasn't until Tommy Cooper died (I was age 5) that I realised the terrible truth. I was in shock for a day.

When my great grandma died, my mother explained to me that she went to heaven. After that, I went in the garden looking for a ladder, so that my great grandpa could join his wife in heaven and make other babies...

I belived that you could died if you laid your hair in the wrong way. If you one day had your fringe in the wrong direction you would die at night! My older friends were really good at keeping me beliv in this...

When you saw a funeral go by, you had to grab a button on your shirt.

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.

As a small child I always confused someone being unconcious with someone being dead.

My grandma died when I was young. I used to believe that on days when the clouds were really puffly and the skies really blue, if I looked hard enough, I could see my Grandma watching me. All the angles could peek over the puffy clouds and see everyone on earth.
