Almost every person on Earth knows or has heard of the resurrected dead, which are commonly called zombies. There are many films, computer games and science fiction books on this topic.
Recently, more and more people believe in the likelihood of a zombie apocalypse on the planet as a result of some dangerous virus. And if zombies are not fiction and why do incidents occur in Haiti that, according to the stories of local residents, resemble Hollywood stories about zombies? In Haiti, people talk about a large number of cases when people are buried, and after a while they get up from their graves. A British anthropologist named Francis Huxley notes that even among the literate and educated people of Haiti, few people doubt the existence of the walking dead.
It is interesting that among the believers there are both ministers of churches and officials, police officers and famous people. So where do these stories come from? The fact is that in African countries a cult of magic and witchcraft is developed, despite the time in which we live. It would seem that science should rule the world, but in reality this is not always the case and some people live according to the customs of their ancestors.
Skeptics believe that such stories can always be explained in terms of science and that there is no magic or witchcraft. Most likely, these supposedly zombies never died, and their behavior is similar to that of mentally retarded people. And relatives simply hide such people, but sometimes they break out of captivity and frighten people. Moreover, people tell terrible stories about the burial of such mentally retarded people, some of them get out of the graves and frighten local residents.
Separately, it is worth noting various staged shows using hypnosis, when people are immersed in a state close to lethargic sleep and they become like the walking dead.
