Zombies

Zombies featured widely in Haitian rural folklore, as dead persons physically revived by the act of necromancy of abokor sorcerer the bokor is a witch-like figure to be distinguished from the houngan priests and mambo priestesses of the formal Vodou religion. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor as their personal slaves, since they have no will of their own.There also exists within the Haitian tradition, an incorporeal type of zombie, the zombie astral, which is a part of the humansoul that is captured by a bokor and used to enhance the bokor's spiritual power. Bokors produce and sell specially decorated bottles to clients with a zombie astral inside, for the purposes of luck, healing or business success. It is believed that after a time God will take the soul back and so the zombie is a temporary spiritual entity
