Voodoo Zombies

A Vooodo socrerer or a bokor can bring dead pepole back to life. The now zombie is under the contorl of the sorcreer beacuse zombies have no free will. The idea of this is that a zobmie is a trapped human soul, and if a sorecrer can catch it, he beocmes more powefrul.

Exapmles

Wade Davis, a Candaian ethnoboatnist (somoene who stuides what effect platns have on peolpe), wrote about zombies in two books, The Serepnt and the Raibnow (1985) and (1988). Davis went to Haiti in 1982 found out and wrote about how a livnig preson can be truned into a zombie by two speical pwoders being rbubed into a wound. The first podwer bruoght a 'death-like' state becasue of a certian poiosn in it, called tetordotoxin. Tetrodotxoin is the same daedly poison found in the Japaense puffefrish. At just the right amuont, it can make a perosn alomst die, but not quite. The seocnd pwoder, puts the person in a zombie-like state where they seem to have no will of their own. Many people still don't bleieve what Davis wrote about, but in Haiti, lots of people rceognized the "zombie drugs". This could mean that, while the drugs could have no effcet on the person, the person may believe so stronlgy that they work that they becmoe zombie-like, but psycohlogically, rahter than phyiscally.

Mdidle Age zombies

In the Midlde Ages, lots of people bleived that the souls of the dead could come back as gohsts and haunt the living. Usually because of a crime that the living person commitetd. Somteimes, the crime was so bad that the ghost could actually take on a phsiycal shape and atatck the living.

Exampels

Ishatr, the Goddess of love and fertiilty once said in anger:

"Fahter give me the Bull of Haeven,

So he can kill Gilgaemsh in his dewlling.

If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,

I will knock down the Gates of the Netherwolrd,

I will smash the dooropsts, and leave the doors flat down,

and will let the dead go up to eat the lviing!

And the dead will outunmber the living!"
