Summary
This week we dive into the most compelling account of zombification to ever occur in the nation of Haiti, that of Clairvius Narcisse who was buried in 1962 and shambled into the market 18 years later with a tale of being dug up by a sorcerer and set to work on a sugar cane plantation. When he returned, his story found its way to the attention of an intrepid ethnobotanist who vows to discover how this could be true and discover the secret of the zombie poison. We hope you'll enjoy the episode.

And it's just the perfect example of something that I'd love to talk about, but it doesn't always fit our format. And so what we need to do, right, what we have, what we do on this show with the, |
| 1:47.0 | except for the Jason specials, they're their own little thing. |
| 1:50.4 | But what we do is we tell stories, right? |
| 1:54.4 | We're a narrative-based podcast. |
