What funny misconceptions did you have when you were a kid?

Question

I thought a "turkey shoot" was a thing where they released a turkey and everybody started shooting at it, and the one who shot it the most before it flopped over dead was the winner....

This is probably going to sound off the wall, but I remember as a kid we used to have one of those old metal milk containers (you know, the kind you would find on a farm) and it was full of water. I was in the basement once and I heard voices coming from somewhere and I swore that they were coming out of that milk container! I was only 4 at the time and I admit I had a wild imagination!
