As the story was generally told in newspapers in 1980, on April 30, 1962, a peasant named Clairvius Narcisse was admitted to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital at Deschapelles, Haiti, complaining of fever, body aches, and 'general malaise;' alarmingly, he was also spitting up blood. Over the next day his condition rapidly declined, until on May 2 Narcisse was pronounced dead at 1:15 in the afternoon by the two attending physicians. One of Clairvius' sisters was present when he died, Angelina; she immediately notified the family, and a short time later an elder sister, Marie Claire, arrived, identified the body, and added her thumbprint to the official death certificate. Narcisse's body was placed in cold storage for twenty-four hours, then buried on May 3 at 10:00 AM, in a small cemetery just north of Clairvius' home village of L'Estere. Ten days later a heavy concrete memorial slab was placed over the grave by his family. Eighteeen years later, in 1980, a man approached Angelina Narcisse in the marketplace of L'Estere, and introduced himself using a childhood nickname for Clairvius that only intimate family members knew. The man, who claimed to be Clairvius, explained that eighteen years previously he had refused to sell his portion of the family land he had inheirited to his brother, and that his brother had arranged for Clairvius to be made into a zombie so the land would pass to him. Clairvius had been dug up before the slab was placed in the cemetery, and had spent two years working as a zombie in the far north of the country. After two years his master had been killed, and Clairvius and all the other zombies had dispersed, free of whatever influence the master had held over them. For the next sixteen years Claivius had avoided returning home, fearful of his brother, until he heard of his sibling's death... which is why he had finally returned.
