people

I used to belive that when dead people were being transported in that nice shiney limo, they were being taken for there last ride to their favorite places before they were shove under the dirt.

When I was in grade 4, the boys across the table told me that the people in ancient horror movies, like the origional Dracula ect... they actually had too be killed because they didnt have special effects, so if you wanted too be in a movie like that they gave your family a ton of money after you'd died. Anyway, when i was in grade 8, we had too do a progect type thing on the first movies, and i put in this information, i still dont know if it's true, i doubt it

Around the ages of 4-6 or so I thought when you died that you fell on your back and your tongue hung out of your moth.

I used to think that if you entered a grave yard, that is when you died. I found it to be perfectly logical! But my parents quickly corrected (of course, now I have a rather unnatural obsession with cemetaries).

I used to believe that when you die you come back to life in the form of a bird or some other animal. One day when I was about 8 I was throwing rocks as I liked to test my aim, and I inadvertently injured a bird on a wire. For years I thought I re-killed someone and I prayed they wouldn't come after me.
Pretty silly now considering you only die once and all dead people are still in the grave.

I thought only animals and old people could die. It was a big shock for me when someone told me everyone can die...

When I was about 5 or 6, my mom took me out trick-or-teating on halloween. A fake, cardboard gravestone was on our neighbors' yard for decoration. I immediately was scared of it because I thought R.I.P. meant that the dead got their heads ripped off and that they would come to get me because they thought it was my fault. For years, when I went to cemetaries, I would stay away from "R.I.P." gravestones.

I used to believe that when you died you went to a land of candyfloss where you could float around and not get fat ... Coincidently I used to belive that the clouds were made of candy floss ... maybe that has something to do with it?

my parents and I were driving past a cemetary one night. i noticed that there were blinking lights coming from the headstones. i asked my dad what those blinking lights were and he told me that when a ghost wakes up a light on the headstone blinks. i thought this was true for a very long time. i now know that the "blinking lights" are the reflections of the headlights on the pictures on the headstones. I think of that everytime i pass a cemetary at night and see the blinking.

Poison. How it works: it tastes so bad that you istantly die of fright. Hmmm.

I used to think that if you weren't buried in a cemetery or if you were cremated then your ghost would remain on Earth for eternity, and that was why you occasionally will hear voices.

Ghost Whisperer

Back in university, my friend told me that when you see a white butterfly, it's the person's soul coming back to reassure loved ones... and every time I've lost someone, I've always seen a white butterfly come and fly about me... so I hold them i reverence....

When I was about 4 my mom told my friend tyler that he couldnt touch the green electrical boxes or he would die. He naturally told me this terrible consequence and I never touched a green box again till I was 12.

When I was really young I used to think that dead bodies wouldn't start rotting until they were buried.

When I was a child,I used to believe the people would die on their birthday and when it was my birthday I was scared to die ...happy birthday!!

The stars are the souls of your dead friends and family. The first ones you see are them.

Sierra

I belived that when someone died they would be watching down on you from above....fair enough! But it led to a strange paranoia about whether or not they were watching me whilst I was on the toilet.....

Nicola

that if you stuck out your tongue at your mother, your hand would stick up out of the grave when you died.

When I was little I used to believe that everone died at the same time. I thought God would pick a day when everyone all over the world (which at the time consisted of 4 or 5 people) would lie down on the pavement and they would be gone. There was no dying, only death- it just was. All I knew was that no one would be left behind.
