In Search Of... Season 1 # 22, VOODOO

The second oldest republic in the western hemisphere, Haiti is the only nation ever to leave from slavery to sovereignty in one bloody step. Poor, noisy, crowded - Haiti clings to the tradition of two worlds: The language is Creole, a corruption of French. Almost 95 % of the people of Haiti are catholic. Unofficially they follow one of the most powerful voodoo priests.

Various drums accompany the ceremony and awaken the perceptions and feelings for the people to experience voodoo. Vengeance is a part of voodoo, believe in vampires and werewolves. Sacrifice is a part of the red voodoo ceremony and happenings might exceed the powers of the priest. If the person whose body has been possessed does not return when the spirit has left, he / she has become a Zombie.
