Haiti is not only known for its chaotic history, their presidents ambiguous glory of being the first independent black republic ... It is also known for his zombies. Indeed, few people know this but the phenomenon of zombification, dear to the directors of SF and horror films or gore, was born here and know it, it is not an element of the past: the zombies are everywhere around us.
Zombies Clairvius Natagette Narcissus and Joseph, to name just two, are quite famous in the world by the number of articles and documents that researchers have written about them.
In the popular imagination, a zombie is an undead, become a slave of him who has awakened to a more or less determined.
More pragmatically (yes, it can be on the topic), a zombie is not really dead. This is a poisoned person who sees slowing its metabolism so much that his entourage is believed dead (but it is not, you follow, it's a bit like groundhogs hibernate). He was buried as it should (I must speak to you one day funerals) and at night, the zombie master has unearthed the person and give him an antidote. The goal of course is not to the person again as before (if not here is not much ...). Hence the Zombie: someone who breathes, eats, works, can speak (but not always) but otherwise, nothing. Like someone on autopilot. Zombies are then taken on farms or in homes to work in the service of the person who poisoned and awake. This service lasts until the death of the zombie master but can also be released or be released when work is finished, several years after his supposed death.
It is obviously very in this country trying to draw a parallel with slavery. A bit like the zombies came to replace the slaves when they have achieved the status of free man. The man he would always need a bottom to the menial tasks, even those who have suffered so much from the intense labor and deprivation of liberty?
Small convenient point in passing: the zombies eat without salt, otherwise it wakes them up.
To prove that you are not superstitious, I'll tell you my story of zombie. I work with CASEC, they are elected for sections communal. One CASEC who lives high up in the mountains is brutally killed in the prime of life and quite suspicious. His wife suspected a gangland killing and poisoning or a spell, she buried her husband with his mobile phone. The first result is that all those who have called this issue have been struck by a strange illness. The widow sought in fact to take revenge on the assassins. The story might have ended there. But what was not surprised by the widow of one day receive a call from his supposed death of her husband. He said it was time for the slave, ie zombie in a rice field in the center of the country but that once the work would be completed.
Zombie's status seems to change with time and technology they have access to telephones.
In the meantime, I am bothered to do my job, I hope to meet him upon his return.
Zombies so intrigued that a lawyer has published an article on the legal status of zombies and the vacuum in the criminal matter (what a surprise!). I quote one of his brilliant conclusions: "The ghost Finally, account has no legal status. Its location is less than that of animals and objects. But what does Zombi International?
And as he notes: "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only on public utility. " The deliberate presence of the verb "stay" is not innocent. Yes my friends the zombies, you are entitled to the same recognition as the living!
