Читать книгу The Zombie Book - Nick Redfern - Страница 68

Since the late 1800s, strange creatures that the great Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau described as “the evil thoughts that good church people have, but do not act upon” have prowled the streets of New Orleans, seeking innocents whom they may possess. These beings, aptly called The Darklings, will take possession of people and make them act like someone they are not. In extreme cases, those who are possessed by a darkling have been known to kill or to hurt their family members.

Some believe that a darkling enters an individual through his or her mouth. The victim is like a zombified demon. Marie Laveau is said to have used ground-up monkey and cock statue powder, red brick, and a secret ingredient to chase them off.
