The individual becomes a slave of the bokor without any control. It is theorized that the use of plants/drugs like Devils Breath are used to control these individuals. This is considered to be Ideological Support, Ancient Wisdom or Mystical Energy because of the claim that voodoo is a true religion that deals with non-physical spirits and dark energy.  ]]> 2018-04-02 23:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247951945 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247955873 From 1932-2018, there have been countless films depicting theoretical zombie apocalypses. The first film ever made about zombies was called "White Zombie" which borrowed the Haitian voodoo ideology but turned it into a western story. From this, there have been many films about zombie-like creatures such as Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, World War Z, I Am Legend (warlocks)...
Many people believe in government conspiracies of accidental or intentional zombie like viruses (I Am Legend). This could represent Ideological Support and is called Agenticity. People often believe in conspiracies involving government made viruses. ]]> 2018-04-03 00:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247955873 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247957753 To be undead is not exclusive to the ideology of zombies. Being undead also takes into account all types of active spirits or monsters who are either resurrected or immortal. In the video bellow, a man claims to have encountered a dark spirit in an abandoned mine when a chain begins to swing aggressively by itself amongst a line of chains. This is an example of Unexplained or Perception and Observation because of the countless possibilities/explanations like a wind current he was too far to see. ]]> 2018-04-03 00:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247957753 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247963794 In ancient Egypt, mummification was a common practice. Many stories have circulated of undead mummies coming out of their tombs to cause terror. However, most stories are modern day folklore. This is considered Ancient Wisdom or Mystical Energy because of the ancient beliefs of the Egyptians and the way their traditions and ideologies may not have been documented accurately. .]]> 2018-04-03 01:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247963794 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247964646 Many people speculate this image to be a picture of irradiated zombies in Chernobyl. It is graphic and looks like something out of a horror film. Viewing the full video isn't necessary. This is an example of Confusion of Correlation with Causation (for the lack of information between radiation, Chernobyl and zombies) and Confirmation Bias (since this could be a film clip that people don't remember). ]]> 2018-04-03 01:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247964646 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247965968 Hundreds upon hundreds of photos have been taken with claims of captured undead spirits. "Photographic evidence" is probably the most common type of "evidence" for ghost hunters. The majority of these photos are an example of Patternicity like the image bellow. People often make up shapes of faces and ghosts due to objects or light glares in the photos.]]> 2018-04-03 01:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247965968 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247967599 Many conspiracy theorists believe that there is a zombie apocalypse around the corner. Some people have guides and precautionary supply bases in preparation for a zombie apocalypse. There are plenty of websites for these believers to "get prepared" and discuss doomsday. This could be Ideological Support due to the flashy/official look of the website and Confusion of Correlation with Causation due to the amount of information that has nothing to do with the cause of a zombie apocalypse. ]]> 2018-04-03 01:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247967599 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247968020 From con artists trying to make money, to fake videos, to "reality" TV shows, there are all sorts of "evidence" of people being able to communicate with the undead (in spirit form). Many people pay heavy prices for a chance to talk to a dead family member or friend. This is an example of Emotional Connection and Mystical Energy (for unseen beings). In the case of popular TV shows, this could be Ideological Support (funding of a campaign/TV show or fake certifications) or Appeal to Authority (big names on TV).  ]]> 2018-04-03 01:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247968020 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247969439 Whereas some evidence has been compelling and unexplained, there have always been people who claim to have compelling evidence which proves to be laughable. The reason this falls in the history of the undead is because since the beginning of undead spirit folklore, there has always been pictures, drawings or writing that believers use to scare the public. Bellow is a website of a ridiculous demon encounter claimed to be compelling evidence. There is also a blog at the bottom allowing other believers to communicate. (Click box and you should be directed to countdowntozerotime.com). This is Conformation Bias for lack of detail and information and specific pictures to prove the claim. ]]> 2018-04-03 01:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247969439 david_alarymakort https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247970661 2018-04-03 02:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/david_alarymakort/oocfor1l5k5o/wish/247970661
