now this isnt my experience, but here goes:

this guy in haiti died and was buried yet came back thirty years later to re marry, have three kids, and die again.
this other guy died and came bak a fews years later with major brain damage, he was locked in a looney asylum for the rest of his second life

those voodoo haiti people are really strange

yeah they are. don't worry, those damn voodoo haiti people will get theirs someday. *shakes fist at computer screen in rage, over what we may never know...*

...And your source is?

It is true, the Haitans do practice voodoo and bring the "dead" back to life, but not like that. They sedate them and pretty much make them "clinically dead" with a special recipe of herbs and stuff, and then send them out to do mindless tasks, mostly farmwork.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing a documentary about that on TV. If I remember correctly, they used the blowfish as an ingredient in their concoction to sedate a person.

Tetrodotoxin.
Lethal ingredient found in Japanese Fugu, or Pufferfish.

Is it like a random mishap, where someone comes back to life, or were these guys actually planing on coming back from the dead? I've herd stories of people being buried in the mid 1800's america and finding ways to get out of their graves which probably scared the crap out of everyone.

The voodoo zombie is a form of slavery.
The victim is drugged with the 'zombie potion' which is a dose of Tetrodotoxin and another lethal substance i wont name here. The victim falls into a comatic death-like state and suffers extreme brain damage. The village buries the victim thinking him/her dead, and then the one who did the drugging digs up the victim who has now suffered damage from the lack of oxygen to the brain along with the poisons and has no idea who he/she is, or where, or why, or anything at all. They're taught to do tasks and that's pretty much the end of that.

damn burnside, you're good. so it was the general mustard in the living room with a dose of tetrodotoxin? i think clue the boardgame needs to update its choice of weapons...

It's a particularly passionate subject for me.

Really Burnside, you know too much. You freak me out sometimes with your intelligence. Either that or you spend WAY too much time googling stuff...

It's all in my head.

look at burnsides profile quote. of course he likes zombies.

I collected info from heaps of resources and merged it all together and came to a conclusion about it all.

Really fascinating I thought zombies where just things in video games lol.
