ZOMBIES: Imagination or Reality?
The English word “zombie” was first recorded in 1819, in the history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of “zombi”. The Oxford English dictionary gives the origin of the word as west African,and compares it to the kongo word “nzambi” and “zumbi” means “spirit of dead”.
Zombies are defined as "Dead human body that has somehow become reanimated and autonomous, yet no longer has sufficient brain or vital functions to be considered alive or capable of thought and they do not have ability to grow" . To turn into a zombie either someone gets bitten, scratched, by a zombie or if their blood gets into someone's body then he will be infected. Some believe that “WHEN THERE IS NO ROOM LEFT IN HELL THE DEAD WILL WALK TO THE EARTH.”
But Are They Real?
Many think so, but the evidence is limited. There are few supposed cases of real zombies, including a mentally ill man named Clairvius Narcisse who became a zombie and forced to work as a slave on Haiti’s sugar-cane plantations.
But ACTUALLY zombies are only the imagination of people after such movies, novels, dramas, or animated films etc. and interestingly zombie movies and culture is spread all over the world. ‘Resident evil’ and 'Silent Hill' are some of the games games that came to us from Japan. In fact people love zombie characters. On the other hand now a days lots of movies are made on zombies such as;
World War Z, Resident Evil, Zombieland, Plants vs Zombies etc.
