Clairvius Narcisse

Ikwabizwa ngokuba: the Living Zombie
Iintsomi zemveli namabali amanduloIvuswe ekufeni1968 ukuya ku-1999

Clairvius Narcisse is the most famous real person claimed to have been a zombi. A Haitian man documented as dead in 1962 turned up alive eighteen years later saying he had been drugged, buried, exhumed and enslaved. The ethnobotanist Wade Davis built a pharmacological theory of zombification around the case, which toxicologists have largely rejected. Whatever happened to him, his story shaped how the outside world has imagined the Haitian zombi ever since.12
