My dad wouldn’t let me bring my Barney doll into a wake because he told me it would cause the dead person to sneeze. I believed him. I’m not sure how long though. Maybe a few months.

When I was 7 my cousin told me you only see ghosts when you have your eyes opened when your trying to sleep at night. For years the second the lights were turned off I refused to open my eyes.

My sister messed with me one time and told me she drew the death card from her tarot cards, and she said I was going to die. I was downright terrified for awhile. She also used to lock me in the basement and turn off the lights and say our house was built on top of an Indian burial ground.
