                        A zombie is an undead person 
in the Afro-Carribean 
and Creole spiritual 
belief system of Voodou. These folkloric zombies are humans who have 
had their "Ti Bon Ange" or soul stolen by 
supernatural means and shamanic medicine, and are forced to work for their "zombie master" as uncomplaining 
slaves on isolated plantations. Other more 
macabre versions of zombies have 
become a staple of modern horror fiction, where they usually engage in 
human cannibalism.
