Zombies are Real

Are zombies for real?

The answer is yes, absolutely. There are (or have been) zombies only not the zombies we get to see in the movies. Originally zombies were part of the voodoo folklore. Voodoo followers are famous to have knowledge of the power of certain herbs. Some voodoo practitioners are considered to be sorcerers of sorts with a dark aspect: they tend to make slaves of normal unsuspected people to whom they give secret potions that cause a state of apparent death. The victim is then buried and later on quietly unburied by the Vooddo priest that gave him /her the potion. Once this individual is unburied the priest reanimates him somehow taking him/her out of the apparent death state, but the victim is now under the voodoo priest's command because he or she has lost all willpower and is now only a mindless slave. Cases have been reported of missing people in Haiti returning to their homes after unexpectedly recovering from the mindless condition caused by the potion.
As you can see zombies are really something else and of course the result of forbidden practices but in no way the ever hungry dead creatures depicted in movies.
Who is then to blame for (or be thanked) for the zombie phenomenon)? Well, that would be a man called George Romero.
