African/Hatian Shamanism and Zombies
I have a friend from Africa who tells me that some shamans are so powerful that they can animate dead bodies - zombies can visit the living to terrify them.
I would like to review some academic journals on the matter here if I can find any.

On the Nature of the Demonic: African Witchery Evan M. Zuesse Numen, Vol. 18, Fasc. 3. (Dec., 1971), pp. 210-239.
This article is quite good, confirming that shamanism is practiced as a nuetral art - the shamans consider their power to be niether good nor evil. They heal and kill for money, basically. Zombies in this article are defined not as dead animated bodies, but a person whose soul is stolen from their bodies while living (231).
