Certain branches of Haitian and West African vodou, or voodoo, believe a spirit or spell can bring a corpse back to life to perform heavy labor or evil deeds for its master, a sorcerer.

Zombies walk like robots. In August 1995, National Geographic magazine reported that men of the Ewe people of Togo, West Africa, chanted a blessing over sacred knives, which were then pointed at a chicken, which promptly shivered and died without being touched.

Yuyui= I have also heard of many zombie rituals in south american, mainly brazil. Apparently, as my friend said, because of the country's neglect for the dead, there are many corpse's in the amazon jungle's. This leeds me to think that this might incourage the performing of evil voodo arts.

Zombie's are famous, and widely known, as the plot of many movies, storie'sstories and even cartoon'scartoons.

Zombies usually are servants to some people. Once given salt, they realize what's happening, and return to their grave. Once the touch the dirt of their grave, they go back to being dead.
