A Study of Strange

Are zombies real, and where did the concept of a mindless, walking dead person originate? On this two part series we look into the history of the zombie, its ties to Haitian history, and explore the handful of stories of zombification that have been studied. Stories include the  account of Clairvious Narcisse and the strange zombie tale of Felicia Felix-Mentor.    Writer/Director, Mali Elfman, of the new film NEXT EXIT, and producer of the film BIRTH/REBIRTH joins the podcast.    Visit our sponsor here: https://www.audibletrial.com/strange   Listen to the episode unedited and commercial free on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/astudyofstrange Theme Music by Matt Glass https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Website: www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com!  ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC ----- Books: https://www.google.com/books/edition/THE_AMERICAN_MEDITERRANEAN/pUiToxfB3Y4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=victim https://tinyurl.com/2p9d328k https://tinyurl.com/59mendhe https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Haitian_Revolution.html?id=C3HnDwAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description https://www.amazon.com/1804-Hidden-History-Haiti-Wyclef/dp/B075TSFKKT/ref=asc_df_B075TSFKKT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312152579167&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10350078240651898399&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031201&hvtargid=pla-568748063226&psc=1 https://www.google.com/books/edition/Haitian_Vodou/_smB9MocN0kC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=vodou+in+haiti&printsec=frontcover https://www.amazon.com/Zombies-Cultural-History-Roger-Luckhurst/dp/1780236697/ref=asc_df_1780236697/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385641680285&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2528799625666126412&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031201&hvtargid=pla-564752502945&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=79288120715&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385641680285&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2528799625666126412&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031201&hvtargid=pla-564752502945   Links: https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2017/10/are-zombies-real https://travelnoire.com/clairvius-narcisse-haitian-zombie https://www.historicmysteries.com/clairvius-narcisse-zombie-story/ https://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_m_moreman_the_dark_history_of_zombies?language=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7EOTLpDSzs https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-trial-that-gave-vodou-a-bad-name-83801276/ https://womrel.sitehost.iu.edu/REL%20300%20Spirit/REL%20300_Spirit/Hurston_Zombis.pdf https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326871#5.-Human-zombies? https://mindhacks.com/2012/01/11/a-medical-study-of-the-haitian-zombie/ https://sites.duke.edu/ginalisgh323/zombification-process/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_kHGb-zbJ0 http://faculty.webster.edu/corbetre/haiti/voodoo/mars-zombi.htm https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4262 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXcjioLLvRQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_kHGb-zbJ0 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f5e9efa53eea036e019bc24/t/5f5ee1a44d3a6a5d4ff28e78/1600053672506/Tell+My+Horse_+Voodoo+and+Life+-+Zora+Neale+Hurston.pdf
