                                Which type might YOU encounter?
Original zombies come from the Haitian Voodoo religion.

  In that culture, a zombie is a person who has their mind
   controlled by someone else and is working as a slave.

There is no concept there of a โ€œzombie hoardโ€ taking over the
              world and coming after the living.

   Voodoo evolved from Western African religion โ€“ totally
    different than what we think of as a โ€œzombieโ€ today.
Haitian Voodoo
                                                 Priest, a โ€œBokorโ€

                         Voodoo Bokor supplies
Alleged Haitian zombie
โ€ขChina โ€“ zombie is Jiang
                              Shi โ€“ hungry ghost returns
                              to attack & devour the
                              living in revenge for an
                              improper burial.




โ€ขArabia โ€“ zombie is punishment for
living immoral life โ€“ the Ghoul โ€“ will
    call people into the desert like
  mermaids/sirensโ€ฆthen eat them.
โ€ขScandanavia โ€“ undead viking โ€“
                                Draugr โ€“ insatiable hunger for
                                 human flesh โ€“ unstoppable
                               warriors, knows what it is โ€“ only
                                way to stop it is to get it back
                                       into the ground.




โ€ขEngland โ€“ Revenant โ€“ 12th century
  English Cleric was first zombie
hunter William of Newburgh โ€“ โ€œone
would not easily believe that corpses
would come out of their graves unless
there were many cases supported by
         ample testimony.โ€
How did we get to our concept of modern zombies in the USA?
