Analysis revealed that the poisons contain a substance that lowers the metabolic rate almost to the point of clinical death, from which, with the help of sorcerers, bodies may be raised from the grave. Vodoun priests, witnesses and alleged zombies, one of whom Davis met,maintained that the victims of such unnatural deaths are often turned into robot-like slaves.
