My fiance says he’s never heard of this and I can’t tell you I know where it came from but I take my shoes off and carry them or leave them outside the boundary when I know I’m waking over dead people! We’re supposed to respect dead people and you respect people by taking off your shoes when you enter their home! You should take your shoes off when walking where dead people live(are)???

Am I just insane???

I guess it depends on your culture. If my body was in a mass grave I was in the afterlife, people walking on the dirt above my old body with shoes on would not bother me.
