Cases of the return to life of deceased people have been known since ancient times. Even Plato, in one of his works, told about a certain Era from Pamphylia, who was killed during the battle.

The Greek historian Philostratus tells about the philosopher Apollonius of Tyana, who lived in the 1st century BC. Once the philosopher was met by a funeral procession, seeing off a young girl. Seized with pity for the deceased, Apollonius ordered his relatives to lower the stretcher to the ground, and then, touching the deceased, he whispered something in her ear. At the same second, the girl sat down on a stretcher, looked around with a surprised look and asked to accompany her back to her father's house.
In the 18th century, the English monk Bede the Venerable described a similar incident. The wealthy British citizen Cunningham fell ill. “He got worse and worse, and at night he died. But at dawn he came back to life and suddenly got up and sat down to the great horror of those who had gathered to mourn him. Such cases have occurred in all ages, but doctors cannot give them an explanation.
However, there are incredible reports of bringing people back to life through witchcraft. In ancient Rome, for example, there was an idea that it was possible to prolong a person's life, but his existence after a period determined from above would be ghostly, as if in a dream.
Shamans of some northern peoples use a special practice of revitalization. The sorcerers drives everyone out of the plague and lies face down next to the deceased.

One traveler said that he saw the rlanga rite performed in a Tibetan monastery. The purpose of this rite is to help the soul of the deceased on her posthumous journey. With a huge crowd of people, the body of the deceased is laid on the ground in the courtyard of the monastery. A lama sits down next to him in the lotus position and begins to meditate. Complete silence reigns around. After a while, the deceased slowly gets up. His eyes are closed, his face is pale. He goes around the place where he was lying three times, and then goes back to it. His movements resemble those of a mannequin …
Voodoo priests living in Haiti sometimes perform a terrible witchcraft ritual. They themselves kill a person by mixing in his food the poison of a two-toothed fish, which exceeds the effect of potassium cyanide by 300 times! The victim immediately turns blue, stops breathing, and her eyes glaze over. Clinical death comes. Relatives bury the deceased, not knowing that he was poisoned. A few days later, the voodoo priests kidnap the body from the cemetery and bring it back to life using magic techniques known to them. After that, the person becomes a zombie. He is not aware of his own "I" and is only able to unquestioningly follow the orders of the priests. To create zombies, physically strong and tough people are specially selected, who are then used as slaves on sugarcane plantations. Haitians are so afraid of turning them into zombies after death,that the funeral ritual involves a series of actions designed to prevent them from returning to life.

The rite of turning people into zombies exists among the aborigines of Australia. But, as a rule, they also do not wait for the death of a person. According to the stories of ethnographers, a man chosen as a victim is kidnapped by a sorcerer and a sharp stick is thrust into his heart. The heart stops, which means that the soul has left the body. After that, the sorcerer, with the help of various manipulations, brings the person back to life, ordering him to forget about what happened, but at the same time suggesting that in three days he will die. The victim returns home as if nothing had happened. Outwardly, such a person does not differ from those around him, but this is no longer a person, but a body capable of making movements. The death of such a person really comes in three days, and the sorcerer freely turns him into a zombie.
American physician-traveler, was present at the process of reviving the deceased in Benin (Africa). “On the ground,” he wrote, “there was a man who showed no signs of life. I turned to one of the local residents who brought me to admire the witchcraft: “I am a white doctor and I want to examine a person - is he really dead?” I sat down so as to shield him with my body, quickly lifted his eyelids to check pupil reaction. The pupils did not react to the light, the heart did not beat. A witchcraft ritual began, and those present sang a rhythmic song that resembled both howls and growls. Imagine the doctor's surprise when the dead man ran his hand over his face and tried to sit up. The singing of those present merged into a continuous roar. The one who was lying turned over on his stomach, slowly got down on all fours and looked at the people around him!
The practice of voodoo witchcraft dates back to the most ancient times, but to this day the priests of this terrible cult continue to create the living dead - zombies, who obey them implicitly.
