is there such thing as zombies/undead being possible to exist on earth?

Question

??how??

Answer 1

I have never seen one but i would not bash another if they believed they exist. There are so many things on this planet yet to discover. 100 years ago a heart transplant would have been unthinkable and if you would have as much as mentioned it you would have been mocked and shunned by many who are not open to the possibilities of life. If I have learned one thing in my long life on this rock we call earth is that nothing is impossible and no one knows everything.

Heres a little something - did you know Frankenstein was based on old medical research paper when they have documented proof that they brought back a man who was made with different human parts for 3 minutes.

and something else to think about. how many people came so close to death or were dead while being transplanted organs then again brought back to life.

Answer 2

I don't believe so based on the fact that no actual trained observer with any professional reputation has ever reported seeing a zombie or undead in the last 50 years, while there have been reports of other interesting phenomena (UFOs, ghosts, past-lives, etc.) by doctors, police, etc.

Generally, it's believed that this myth was started as a result of eating things like pufferfish whose poison can mimic death so well that they don't bury them now for 4 or 5 days in case they revive. I'm sure there are similar poisonous fish in the Caribbean as well since that seems to be the area where the myth began. I seem to recall a program on History Channel some years ago on Voodoo and that one of the drugs commonly used in the drink is from a pufferfish.

Answer 3

The witch doctors in Africa used a drug that mimicked death on people then when everyone thought they were dead they would waken from the effects of the drug and were thought to be risen from the dead. I have also herd of people who have been pronounced dead by a doctor and waking up in an autopsy room. Now that's a scary thought. But these sorts of story's are problem were the ideas of zombies and such may have started because way back when these things couldn't be medically explained it would have been quite scary.

Answer 4

Zombies do exist, technically. The idea of zombies originated in voodoo culture, where it was said a priest could kill someone, bring them back to life, and use them as their slave. What would actually happen, though, is the powder used to "kill" was actually a very powerful neurotoxin, whose symptoms mimicked death to the point that the person would be buried. Then the voodoo priest could go dig the poor soul back up later, but before he suffocated in his coffin. It is theorized that the experience of being buried alive is so traumatizing that the victim is "shellshocked", their willpower malleable enough to be enslaved. This is actually a fairly well documented scenario, and was made famous by the semi auto-biographical book The Serpant and the Rainbow, by Wade Davis, a Harvard Scientist.

If your asking after the flesh meating zombies of "Night of the Living Dead" fame, however, the answer is no, they are fiction.

Answer 5

Yes they do.
It's a person that has been poisoned by a concoction that makes their heart slow down just to the point of stopping. Along with this it also effects their brain functionality. Often times they are left in such a state for day's & have been buried. Those who do not know of the poisoning believe the person to be dead; while the inflictor later takes the body for "juicing up". They pump the poisoned person up with an antidote like substance, and they have their Zombie...

Answer 6

do they exist? no. could they exist? I don't see why not. Now, this would be because of an engineered (and gone horribly wrong) virus to be used as a bio weapon, or something similar. Something external causing it as a physical condition is what would cause it. it would be no more than a disease. The true undead would've happened (again) by now if the legends were true.

Answer 7

There is a very good movie that you might try renting, it's called "the serpent and the rainbow" from what i remember it was based of a true story and it deals with many aspects of voodoo or vodou and it tells a lot about zombies, also here is a link that tells more about voodoo.
