Also this word is referred to as a normal living person who has completely lost kontrolnad myself and my body and obey the orders of someone. The exact same origin of the word is controversial. One version is distorted "nzambi" that the African languages means "minor deity" or "soul dead." On the other - this is modified West African dialect "Jambi", which means "Ghost". There is also a theory that the word "zombie" was once called the great black serpent of the African beliefs, the eternal enemy of the sun, light, and joy.

The term "Zombie" is strongly associated with magical practices of voodoo, which came to the Islands of the Caribbean during the French colonial slavery in the early sixteenth century from West Africa.
