Wild and incomprehensible, from the point of view of a white man, African native rites. But these are not just rites - this is witchcraft. Is it possible to raise a person from the grave? For the local dark-skinned population this is reality. And visiting white people, who consider all these stories about zombies to be stupid fictions, will have a nightmarish encounter with the walking dead - terrible killing machines.
