Spook Guide - Zombies

Zombies are dead people who are revived after their burial and compelled to do the bidding of the person who has revived them. Zombies first appear in voodoo, or vodou, a type of black magic. In voodoo, a houngan, or sorcerer, brings dead people to live for the purpose of enslavement. The master of the zombie can then command it to implement evil tasks and perform labour.

In Voodoo mythology, zombies are re-animated using supernatural means and shamanistic medicines. Zombies inspire fear in everyone who sees them, and they are also thought to eat human flesh. Zombies are most common in Haiti and Africa.

Zombies often have the appearance of a decaying person, although with a powerful animated look about them. Zombies’ eyes are the only thing that is not dead about them, and their whole body moves with a supernatural energy and power. Zombies may be greenish in colour and dressed in filthy, mouldy rags.

Evil sorcerers can command armies of zombies to do things like attack villages and build dark temples. Zombies rise from their coffins, splintering the wood and bursting up through the soil.
