South African witchcraft zombie

Boshqa nomlari: xidachane, maduxwane, witch-train zombies
Folklor va mifologiyaO‘likSehrgarlik

In parts of South Africa, witchcraft belief includes people turned into zombies to labour for a witch. The victims are thought of as the stolen dead: small, mute and put to work at night. Stories of 'witch trains' staffed by zombies spread once railways began carrying migrant workers to the mines and cities. Scholars treat the belief as a commentary on labour exploitation, which is the same anxiety that produced the Haitian zombi.12
