I have no idea what version of the Nutcracker I was watching, but when I was little and still I cannot sleep with my feet out of the covers. I was watching the Nutcracker and a mouse chewed some person's toes off. I have been terrified of that happening ever since.

Though I don't actually believe that "if I step on a crack I break my mother's back," I do ALWAYS avoid them. I often skip them subconsciously & recognize when I am doing so only because someone else points it out.

  I went to a terminator amusement park ride thing- one of the ones where you sit in a theatre and they shoot puffs of air at you while you watch a movie that surprises you a lot. Well, the concept was you were going to a Skynet marketing seminar, and all the robots lined up along the walls and in the 'live' movie went mad and started shooting lasers and stuff. It was one of the most frightening things I have ever seen.

My belief in God seemed to start before I was ever "told" about Him officially. When my parents told us, I knew already. It made sense to me. I've seen so Him to so much in my life that it'd be ridiculous to try to deny Him.

  I think my mom's cousin's place was haunted (thankfully, she has moved). I stayed there one night with my mom and sister. I didn't see anything, but that place had such nasty energy, my sister and I couldn't sleep and I constantly felt like someone was watching me. Ever since then, when people claim a place is haunted, I gauge the space off that feeling- haven't matched it yet.

I can't think of a single thing I believe in as an adult that I believed in as a child. I'm religious but my adult faith is quite different to whatever I thought when I was a kid.

When I was a youngster and my mom and I would walk somewhere in the small town in which I grew up and which was bisected by the railroad, she would always warn against stepping directly on the rail lest my foot become lodged thereby trapping me so that I would be run over by the next train. I still don't step on rails.

Take a turn off of Kali Oka Road "SomeWhere in the USA", go carefully around Dead Man's Curve (so named for the numerous fatal car accidents) and you will be heading towards Cry Baby Bridge and the Kali Oka Plantation. This place in folklore is know to be haunted.

"People can read my mind" (I'm talking actual mind reading, no tricks)

This might be cute enough while you're a kid, but quickly turns into suspicions of a mental disorder as you grow up. So I try not to think about it anymore ;)

That my bathtub could keep me safe.

Anytime I was scared or ill or just sad, I would go and lay in my bathtub. No water, still clothed. I'd just sit or lay there for a while, and I'd feel better. I practiced this at a very young age, and it is still with me to this day. Bathtubs are my safe haven.

When I was young my parents taught us about karma. I began to believe when I was watching my brother torture a bee one day. The next day I was attacked by an entire nest of bees. I still believe in karma.

This is embarrassing to admit.
My brother was born when I was 6 and when I asked my mom where babies came from, she told me that "a special signal travels from daddy's tummy to mommy's tummy and that makes a baby." I imagined that my parents would lay next to each other at night and a big ball of light would come out of my father and float through the air to my mom. Thanks to a crappy Catholic school education, I didn't learn about sex until I was 13 - and even then, it was just something "bad" people do - it was not connected to baby-making. It was several more years before I found out the real deal.

  I did learn about babies when I was like... 6 or 7. That is the good part of having older, honest sisters. =o)

  @leopicado - Lucky! I *was* the older sister, so I made sure my brother knew about the birds and the bees as soon as he could understand it. Catholic school is so ridiculous.

This doesn't really count as mine I suppose, but my family thought I believed in Santa Claus until I was like... 17. I probably stopped believing relatively late, around 8 or 9 but it never occurred to me to say anything. Besides, if I admitted to no longer believing in Santa, perhaps "he" would stop coming. This resulted in years of my parents' nibbling at carrots or leaving sooty boot-prints on the rugs.

Santa still comes, btw.

  Santa comes to our house too - and we still write him letters, even though we're in our 30s. It's nice to continue a tradition of magic, even if the specifics aren't quite right.

  A friend told me when I was in 1st or 2nd grade, but my sister is 19 and still hasn't let on that she knows. We're pretty sure it's all about the presents too.

  Don't feel bad. I believed it until I was about 9. My sister who is five years younger than me told me, I asked my mom, and she admitted it was true. I was crushed.

That my hair had some power to it and I'd get smote if I cut it . My hair's been shortish for a very long time, but I still have occasional pangs that I could reclaim some spiritual power by growing it long. Ridiculous, but true.

"Those who play, must pay"
It started when I was younger and would stay up late. As I got older it morphed to partying the night before. Little did I know they were just preparing me for waking up for work after a fun night out :)
