Revenant (medieval England)

Yitwa kandi: revenant, walking dead
Imigani n'inkuru za keraAbapfuye bazimaBiratandukanyeUrupfu rubi cyangwa gushyingurwa nabiIbihe byo hagati

Twelfth-century English chroniclers, among them Geoffrey of Burton, Walter Map and William of Newburgh, record a cluster of cases in which a buried corpse walked at night and brought death to its neighbours. The stories are told as recent local news, with named bishops and archdeacons called in to rule on them. The remedies, digging up the body and beheading, burning or absolving it, are the same ones later used against vampires in central Europe. Scholars read these revenants as the product of a failed death, a person stuck between the living and the dead who has to be forcibly moved on.12

Clerical writers tie the return to a 'bad death': a sinful or excommunicate life, or dying suddenly without confession and last rites.
Uko umuntu ahinduka zombi
A person of bad reputation dies unshriven or excommunicate and is buried, but the body does not stay down.
Uko igenda
Biratandukanye
The corpse leaves its grave at night, roams streets and houses, often with dogs barking after it, and is back in the tomb by dawn.

William of Newburgh thought the cases were a recent phenomenon and too numerous to list12

Bishops disagreed over the cure: Hugh of Lincoln preferred absolution to burning12

Later accounts, such as a Clydesdale case in the Lanercost chronicle, show the belief persisting unevenly12
