does anyone think that zombies can actually be real?

Wade Davis, a Canadian ethnobotanist, presented a pharmacological case for zombies in two books - The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985) and Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988). Davis travelled to Haiti in 1982 and, as a result of his investigations, claimed that a living person could be zombified by the ingestion of two special powders. The first, coup de poudre (French: 'powder strike' - a wordplay on coup de foudre, 'lightning-strike'), induced a 'death-like' state, the key ingredient of which was tetrodotoxin (TTX). Tetrodotoxin is the same lethal toxin found in the Japanese delicacy fugu, or pufferfish (Tetraodontiformes). At near-lethal doses (LD50 of 1mg), it is said to be able to leave a person in a state of near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious. The second powder of dissociative hallucinogens held the person in a will-less zombie state. Davis popularized the story of Clairvius Narcisse, who was claimed to have succumbed to this practice. There remains considerable skepticism about Davis's claims, and opinions remain divided as to the veracity of his work.

Yes they do.\n\nIn the Caribbean Island of Hispaniola, the religion voodoo is commonly practiced and they can 'bring back the dead' as zombies!  These zombies cannot speak, have been buried in a grave and are what you'd expect of a zombie from any good zombie films (minus holes in head and decaying bodies).\n\nThe witch doctors of voodoo will do their magic on a person by drugging them to 'kill' them.  They are then put in coffin overnight and then the witch doctor will awaken them.  The product is one zombie!\n\nThe scientific explanation for this is that the person becomes brain damaged.  The drug they use only makes them dosy and reduces there metabolism as well as everything else in their body so, although they are still breathing and their heart is still beating, they look dead.  If they were left to their own devices and not subsequently buried alive, they would wake up in the morning with something similar to a hangover.  But they are buried alive.\n\nThe lack of oxygen in the coffin makes them have less oxygen to breathe. After about 12 hours this leads to severe brain damage.  And would eventually kill them.  In fact if they had not been drugged it probably would kill them.  They are then 'awoken' and you have one severly brain dead person who has now recovered from the drug and is, according to the voodoos, a zombie!

By now only the terminally brain dead or U.S. government propagandized zombies would think staying there is viable or even sane. \nBy the way, the much-too-oft -used phrase "Stay the course" is a farce also coined by madmen who have no direction but to their bank accounts.

No, It's just a theory, believe me it's cool and I've watched the movie. Player, people would want to believe it because Dan B. makes it seem so real.

i live in Romania. in my country old people believe in vampires and other type of evil creatures like "strigoi" (some creatures that are associated in other cultures with zombies). i honestly don't believe in vampires , but who knows maybe they exist.keep searching maybe you will find something interesting. let me know if you discover a vampire.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and assume that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.\n\nNo. Zombies are definately not cool.\n\nI don't know if you realise that zombies and voo-doo are very real and not to be interfered with in any way, shape or form.\n\nZombies are not clinically dead to begin with, hence the resurrection.  They are drugged and the human body shows none of the obvious signs of life because everything is slowed down to the point of almost stopping.  If a 'zombie' is not dug up within hours of the burial, they suffocate and die.\n\nA real zombie is controlled by a witch doctor and used for free labour in slavery.\n\nIf you come across one in your travels, give it some salt.\n\nI suggest you do some research on zombies if you like them so much.

Yes they are... why this question over and over again.  I know that they are real... I know as fact.\n\n---\ndemons are fallen angels... like Satan... Beelzebub... Molech (Moloch)... Ashtoreth... so on.\n\nThey are physically real... if they want you to see them, you can... or if they are exposed somehow... you can see them.  Being physical... of course someone could touch them... they can touch you... you can hear them... even smell them.... etc.\n\nJust as you can interact with a fellow human being... you could interact with a fallen angel.\n\nTheir nature and matter is just different... some people might think that they are 'alien.'  And if Satan chooses to be seen by the public one day... he may deceive them saying that he is an alien from outer space.  \n\nObliviously most would believe him, instead of believing God.\n\nThey are real.

Absolutely,  You just have to be able to realistically imagine / present the concept.\n\nIt's called 'fiction'; I'm sure you can do it.

I think anything's possible, perhaps even zombies. A lot of things happen that can be attributed only to the supernatural. Human beings actually know far less about the universe than we think we do...BUT...\n\nI wouldn't lose sleep over zombies. a.) There's never been a documented case of a zombie running around, much less hurting anyone. b.) If there are zombies, they've got 6 billion other folks living on this planet to harass, so the odds of them picking on you are pretty low.\n\nIf you're a worrier and need to fret over something, why don't you start fearing the possibility of being struck by a meteorite. The odds of that are a lot better than those of having a zombie ringing your doorbell at 3 o'clock in the morning.\n\nSweet dreams!

Do Ghosts really exist??\n\n\n\nNo one actually knows if ghosts really exist. The only evidence we have are photos and claimed sightings. Most of the photos are of poor quality or are not convincing enough. The sightings may be true but there is no evidence to say so. People have there own ideas of what ghosts look like, from human shaped figures to small objects. Even though there is so much material to say ghosts exist there is still no actual evidence. Until there is some scientific evidence to prove that ghosts actually exist, the legend about ghosts will stay a mystery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@ w w w . c a s t l e o f s p i r i t s . c o m\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTHE GHOST OF HAMPTON COURT?\n\n\n\n\n\nArticle from DAILY MAIL - UK\n\nBy David Harding, Metro\n19 December 2003\n\nTo the sceptic it may simply look like a fuzzy CCTV image of someone in a long coat walking through a doorway.\nExperts say the long-coated figure could be the best proof yet found that things really do go bump in the night... and the day too.\nThe mystery surfaced two months ago at the 16th-century palace, once home to King Henry VIII.\nSecurity staff heard alarms ringing near an exhibition hall, indicating fire doors had been opened. But on investigation they found the doors closed.\nPerplexed, they examined CCTV footage, and that is when it got spooky.\nThe cameras showed the heavy doors popping open but no one there. Then, suddenly, the long- coated figure appeared and slammed the doors shut.\nThe guards were told the same thing happened at the same time - about 1pm - the day before.\nTo add to the mystery, the doors also flew open at the same time the very next day. But the ghostly figure has been spotted only once.\nThe suspected spook has not just been sighted by CCTV. Australian tourists also claim to have seen a ghost near the exhibition area. The palace, in West London, has ruled out its guides as suspects because they do not enter that part of the building.\nPsychologist Dr Richard Wiseman said the spectre, nicknamed Skeletor, might prove to be a significant discovery.\n'It could be the best ghost sighting ever,' he said. 'I haven't seen anything that would match that at all.'\n\nHENRY AND A HISTORY OF HAUNTING\n\nThis is London\n\n19 December 2003\n\n• CATHERINE HOWARD\n\nThe best known haunting at Hampton Court is by Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife.\n\nCharged with adultery in 1541 and placed under house arrest, she broke free from her guards and ran to her husband to plead for her life. The guards dragged her back and she was executed. To this day, it is claimed, a woman in white can be seen floating down the Haunted Gallery.\n\n• JANE SEYMOUR\n\nHenry VIII's third wife, who died in childbirth in 1537, is said to walk through the cobbled courtyard carrying a lighted taper.\n\n• LADY IN GREY\n\nSibell Penn was nurse to Prince Edward, Henry's only son. She died in 1562 and was buried in Hampton Church. When the church was pulled down in 1829 her remains were disturbed and it is said she returned to the rooms she once lived in.\n\n• THE WOLSEY CLOSET\n\nThe room has a 'strange atmosphere'. A phantom dog has been seen and heard here on more than one occasion. \n\nCNN NEWS REPORT\n\nPalace 'ghost' caught on camera Friday, December 19, 2003 Posted: 1:54 PM EST (1854 GMT)\n\nLONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?\n\nClosed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?\n\n"We're baffled too -- it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax.

Thats a good question. I wonder whether all those "supernatural" things are real eg. Ghosts, Big Foot, etc. I do beleive in ghosts but I ponder over some of those mysterious happenings. I wonder whether the Loch Ness Monster is real, or I wonder who mkes crop circles-Humans, or an Alien Life form? I wonder whether there is another form of life on another planet. There are so many unsolved, amazing questions on this earth I cannot imagine anyone having nothing to think about. Even this question made me wonder alot.........

yes, UFOss are real. the military of several other countries have come out and said they exist.  i dont know if the US gov had any encounters. But, i believe world govs do cover it up. if it comes out that they exist it would dissapprove many of the beliefs that make up  our world's societies. for example; religion.

highly improbable, but possible. not sure how or what but definitely not through any conscious entity, but energy is real. If we have lived once, it must be possible to live again... maybe i'll an amoeba or space bacteria :)
