The Lancet zombi cases (FI, WD and MM)

Também chamado: Littlewood and Douyon cases
Folclore e mitosMorto-vivoArrasta-seDe 1968 a 1999

In 1997 a British anthropologist-psychiatrist and a Haitian physician published the only clinical study of people identified in Haiti as zombis. They examined three individuals whose families said they had died and been buried years earlier. All three had psychiatric or neurological conditions, and genetic testing showed that at least two were strangers taken in by bereaved families. The paper remains the main medical evidence that the living zombi is a social diagnosis applied to vulnerable, wandering people.12
