The Lancet zombi cases (FI, WD and MM)

Ook bekend as: Littlewood and Douyon cases
Volksverhale en mitesOndoodSkuifel1968 tot 1999

In 1997 a British anthropologist-psychiatrist and a Haitian physician published the only clinical study of people identified in Haiti as zombis. They examined three individuals whose families said they had died and been buried years earlier. All three had psychiatric or neurological conditions, and genetic testing showed that at least two were strangers taken in by bereaved families. The paper remains the main medical evidence that the living zombi is a social diagnosis applied to vulnerable, wandering people.12

MM was seen in a town market thirteen years after her death at 1812

Examination with EEG and CT scans found catatonic schizophrenia, epilepsy with brain damage, and a developmental learning disability12

DNA and fingerprint tests showed that two of the three were not the dead relatives at all12
