In this episode, we dive into one of the most well-documented zombie cases in history—the chilling story of Clairvius Narcisse. A man walks into a hospital with stomach pains… only to be pronounced dead and buried. But that’s not where his story ends.

He claims the next thing he knew he woke up on a remote plantation in Haiti—trapped in a zombie-like state, forced to work with no control over his own body.

Was it a scientific phenomenon? A powerful toxin? Or something tied to the traditions of Haitian Vodou?

As we unravel this unsettling case, we’re pairing it with White Out from New Trail Brewing Company—a fitting nod to a life seemingly erased from history.

Crack open a cold one and join us for a story that blurs the line between life, death… and something in between.
