Clairvius Narcisse - Real life zombie

The year is 1962 in Haiti.  Clairvius Narcisse didn't want to give up his part of his family land.  So his brothers sold him to a Voodoo bok0r, a spiritual sorcerer in voodoo culture.  Soon after he died, the bokur dug him up and performed a spell on him to make him the walking dead.  He worked on a sugar plantation until his master died in 1964.  So Clairvius traveled all over Haiti and one day he recognized his sister in a market.  She didn't recognize him, but he told her events about his childhood that only his family would know.  This marked him as one of the only documented cases of a zombie in Voodoo culture.  Clairvius describing being treated by a bokor as if underwater.  And he remembers the blanket being pulled over his head after the medical examiner declared him dead.
