Oh yeah, I know. But I couldn't imagine turning someone into a zombie or it happening to me. That's what freaked me out the most. I think for some it's that having no control over yourself that makes it even more terrifying.

I've always found the subject of VooDoo Zombies interesting.. but then they use the "zombie" for their own bidding right? So what would they use them for exactly?

From what I understand they use them to do things like field work-basically slave labor.

Yes, most of them are put to work on plantations. A few who retain their wits, like Clairvious, could be put to work as personal servants. Most go mad while buried alive.

It is amazing how in some countries this stuff is still legal, even today.

That was an interesting article. What else can you dig up like this Bobby?
Biology Online has a very detailed report on this case.

Mel it is a scary thing indeed. I wonder how long this dates back in their culture? It's seems to be a common practice.

Thanks for that link Bobby. Very interesting. Smiley

Yes, it's a horrible thing to do to someone. Imagine being buried alive and aware. *shudders*
No wonder they tend to lose their minds.

Are you at the begining, that you seek the end?

My God. I don't think I'll ever go to Haiti either... But I am interested in that movie Grin.

It's interesting that (some of?) today's horror legends seem to be increasingly uncovered to be simple (albeit odd) cases. I mean slave labor. The whole process of the human trade seemed legal for crying out loud.
