A zombie is a mythical creature known to have supernatural power that according to voodoo belief may enter into and reanimate a dead body. There have been zombies spotted in many places around the world but they are mostly seen in Sub-Saharan Africa. The team and I choose to do are cryptid on zombies because there traditional yet they have an exciting background that people don't know much about. For our video part of the project I'm thinking of making it as a news forecast with zombies walking around along with running people on a windy night while a news lady is trying to explain what's going on. I found zombies so interesting due to the fact that people don't give zombies there full credit they just watch the movies but in actuality there's a story behind them of witches and voodoo. I feel that zombies are so much more then living dead, I see them as rising art. I'm not sure if this myth is true or not but i somewhat believe that zombies are real because I believe in witches. I get sucked up in a lot of myths due to the fact that I don't understand how someone could come out of nowhere with a story and not seen it or heard about it from someone else. I understand there myths but how could something like this fall out of the clear blue sky. There are a lot of people with large imaginations so nobody really knows until there's proof behind it.
