Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the mystifying--and scary--real-life story of Clairvius Narcisse, The Haitian "Zombie." When we think of zombies, it's likely disease-infected, flesh-eating reanimated corpses come to mind. And though zombies make for entertaining movies, tv shows, comics, and video games; we know they're the stuff of fiction.

Except, in the case of Clairvius Narcisse--who was declared dead and buried in 1962; only to reappear in 1980.

And the story he told is the stuff of literal nightmares.

Did Clairvius Narcisse really die and come back as a zombie? Or is there a natural--and far darker--explanation?

Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
