Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the Zombies of Haiti. We talk about the truth and lies of Voudo, and where the zombie fits into the history of this often-demonized religion. And when an alleged "real" zombie appears in Haiti in the 1980s, American academics get involved. Is there truth behind the zombie myth? Is it possible that a chemical cocktail can mimic this state of "undeath" and provide the foundation for these creatures?

In 1962, a man named Clairvius Narcisse died in a Haitian hospital from kidney failure. That alone wouldn’t be remarkable, except that twenty years later, that same man reappeared, alive and well. He claimed that he’d been resurrected from the dead, and forced to work for years on a sugar plantation. He toiled alongside several other enslaved zombies until a successful uprising, where they killed their overlord sorcerer and freed themselves. Narcisse’s incredible story is one of dark magic, arcane rituals and underbelly of organized crime in Haiti.
