The very word "zombie" itself holds a mysterious etymological origin, with several potential sources. For instance, the Mitsogho people in Gabon use "ndzumbi" to refer to a corpse. In the Kikongo language, "nzambi" carries various meanings, including the supreme being, a superhuman ancestor, or another deity. Similarly, in certain dialects spoken in Angola and the Congo, "zumbi" signifies an object inhabited by a spirit or an individual returned from the afterlife.
