0:50
Speaker 1: today's story. On the afternoon of May second, nineteen sixty two,
1:09
Speaker 1: a middle aged woman named Angelina and Arcis walked into
1:12
Speaker 1: a hospital room inside the Opital Albert Schweitzer, which is
1:16
Speaker 1: a medical center in central Haiti. Inside Angelina saw one
1:20
Speaker 1: of her brothers forty year old Clervius propped up in
1:23
Speaker 1: the hospital bed. He had an IV sticking out of
1:26
Speaker 1: one arm, and he had an oxygen mask strapped over
1:29
Speaker 1: his face. His eyes were closed, and when Angelina touched
1:32
Speaker 1: his hand and said hello, he didn't react. So Angelina
1:36
Speaker 1: had just been briefed by Clavus's doctors about what was
1:39
Speaker 1: going on here. She knew that two days earlier, her
1:42
Speaker 1: brother had come to the hospital coughing up blood and
1:45
Speaker 1: also running a dangerously high fever. Doctors had managed to
1:48
Speaker 1: get his fever down, but they determined that his blood
1:51
Speaker 1: pressure was really high, and he also had fluid accumulating
1:55
Speaker 1: in his lungs, but they didn't know why any of
1:58
Speaker 1: that was happening or how to control it or stop it.
2:02
Speaker 1: So now less than forty eight hours after Clearvus's symptoms began,
2:06
Speaker 1: he was barely conscious, and so for Angelina it was
2:09
Speaker 1: obviously very scary to see her brother so sick like this,
2:13
Speaker 1: but it was also confusing because she knew that one
2:16
Speaker 1: of her other brothers had seen Clearvus just a few
2:19
Speaker 1: hours before he had shown up at the hospital with
2:21
Speaker 1: these horrible symptoms, and Clearvius at the time had seemed
2:25
Speaker 1: completely fine, so really, this illness seemed to have come
2:28
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. But as Angelina looked around the hospital room,
2:32
Speaker 1: she also found herself feeling pretty annoyed because she had
2:35
Speaker 1: four other siblings, two more brothers and two sisters, and
2:39
Speaker 1: none of them were here. Now, Angelina knew she shouldn't
2:42
Speaker 1: be surprised. Ever since their parents had died, there had
2:46
Speaker 1: been basically NonStop drama between all the siblings, and most
2:50
Speaker 1: of the drama centered around Clearvius himself. So when their
2:53
Speaker 1: parents had passed away, clear Vius was the one who
2:56
Speaker 1: had ultimately inherited their money and land, and so these
3:00
Speaker 1: days he was sort of living like a king. He
3:02
Speaker 1: lived in one of the nicest places in their village
3:04
Speaker 1: and was constantly flaunting his wealth. Meanwhile, Angelina and her
3:09
Speaker 1: other siblings really struggled financially, and anytime they asked Clervius
3:13
Speaker 1: for help, he refused, which had caused a huge rift
3:17
Speaker 1: in the family. So Angelina was now the only one
3:20
Speaker 1: who'd even shown up to visit him in the hospital,
3:22
Speaker 1: despite his condition being so dire. But you know, nonetheless,
3:25
Speaker 1: she sat down on a plastic chair inside the room
3:28
Speaker 1: and for a few minutes she just watched Clearvius breathing,
3:31
Speaker 1: and for a while, you know, his breathing seemed normal,
3:34
Speaker 1: you know, it was rhythmic, you know, slow but normal.
3:36
Speaker 1: But then suddenly Clearvus's breath seemed almost catch in his chest,
3:40
Speaker 1: and then he began making a sort of wheezing, gurgling sound.
3:44
Speaker 1: But he's like half conscious, so it was like his
3:46
Speaker 1: body was reacting to not being able to breathe. Angelina
3:49
Speaker 1: instinctively just stood up and grabbed her brother's hand and
3:52
Speaker 1: began to squeeze it, And as she did, she saw
3:55
Speaker 1: her brother's eyelids flutter open for a second, but then
3:57
Speaker 1: his eyelids closed, and she watched as underneath his eyelids
4:02
Speaker 1: she could see his eyes kind of darting around all
4:04
Speaker 1: over the place. And then at the same time, this
4:07
Speaker 1: sort of wheezing sound that was coming out of her
4:09
Speaker 1: brother turned into a choking noise, and so Angelina at
4:12
Speaker 1: this point let go of her brother's hands. She ran
4:14
Speaker 1: into the hallway and she found a doctor. But unfortunately,
4:18
Speaker 1: by the time she explained what was going on and
4:20
Speaker 1: she and this doctor returned to the hospital room, they
4:24
Speaker 1: found Clearvus no longer making any noise. He was totally still,
4:28
Speaker 1: and so the doctor rushed over to him and he
4:30
Speaker 1: checked for a pulse, but he couldn't find one, and
4:33
Speaker 1: he turned to Angelina and he said, I'm sorry, but
4:36
Speaker 1: your brother is dead. The following morning, May third, Angelina
4:41
Speaker 1: arrived at the small cemetery near their village for her
4:43
Speaker 1: brother's funeral, and she was glad to see that at
4:46
Speaker 1: least this time her four remaining siblings had decided to
4:49
Speaker 1: show up. But at the same time, Angelina, I mean,
4:52
Speaker 1: she was in shock. She couldn't believe what had happened.
4:55
Speaker 1: The doctors had told her that ultimately Clarvius had died
4:58
Speaker 1: from something called malignant hypertension, which is basically blood pressure
5:02
Speaker 1: that's so high it causes organ damage, and also it
5:06
Speaker 1: causes pulmonary edema, which is fluid in the lungs that
5:09
Speaker 1: can ultimately make it impossible to breathe, which very likely
5:12
Speaker 1: was what that sound was her brother was making before
5:15
Speaker 1: he died, that choking sound. But the doctors told Angelina
5:18
Speaker 1: that despite knowing sort of what actually happened to clear Vius,
5:23
Speaker 1: they didn't know why it happened. It was totally unclear
5:27
Speaker 1: how he got these symptoms in the first place, and
5:29
Speaker 1: unfortunately for Angelina and their family, it seemed pretty unlikely
5:34
Speaker 1: that they would ever figure it out. It would just
5:36
Speaker 1: be this mystery now. As Angelina walked up to clear
5:39
Speaker 1: Vus's gravesite, she looked down and she saw her brother
5:43
Speaker 1: lying dead inside of his open casket. She reached out
5:46
Speaker 1: and touched his hand one last time, and it was
5:49
Speaker 1: so cold that Angelina pulled it away right away, and
5:52
Speaker 1: then she began to cry. The ceremony was kind of
5:54
Speaker 1: a blur for Angelina. I mean, the whole thing just
5:56
Speaker 1: felt surreal. But eventually it wrapped up and Angelina and
6:01
Speaker 1: her other siblings were walking up to the casket to
6:04
Speaker 1: say their final goodbye is to their brother. And then
6:06
Speaker 1: after they did, they stepped back and they watched as
6:09
Speaker 1: cemetery employees closed Clearbus's casket and lowered it into the ground. However,
6:14
Speaker 1: after Angelina and her family had all returned to their
6:17
Speaker 1: homes and were beginning to grieve the loss of their brother,
6:21
Speaker 1: something else began to happen at that cemetery. Betterhelp is
6:29
Speaker 1: the paid partner of today's video. Sometimes I think about
6:32
Speaker 1: being a kid riding in the backseat at night, street
6:35
Speaker 1: lights flashing across the window, no responsibilities, no real fear
6:39
Speaker 1: of the future. Well, if I could say something to
6:42
Speaker 1: that little kid version of me, I'd probably say, you're
6:46
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, but don't rush it. Don't wish this away,
6:50
Speaker 1: because when things get hard, it's easy to start looking backwards.
6:54
Speaker 1: Nostalgia is basically a highlight reel, and then you look
6:57
Speaker 1: at your present and it doesn't stand a chance. Here's
7:00
Speaker 1: the thing, though, the life you are living right now,
7:03
Speaker 1: you're going to feel nostalgic for this someday, and so
7:06
Speaker 1: if you spend it longing for something that's already gone,
7:09
Speaker 1: you'll miss it twice. If reaching for the past is
7:12
Speaker 1: getting in the way of living now, therapy may help
7:16
Speaker 1: you figure out what you're actually looking for, and it
7:19
Speaker 1: might also help you to start finding more of that
7:21
Speaker 1: in the present. Better help make starting therapy easier. Take

7:42
Speaker 1: same night, a little after midnight, two men sort of
7:45
Speaker 1: conspicuously entered the small cemetery, carrying shovels. As they walked,
7:50
Speaker 1: they kind of kept looking around to make sure nobody
7:52
Speaker 1: was watching them. And they went up to Clearvius's very
7:56
Speaker 1: fresh grave, and with their shovels they dug and dug
7:59
Speaker 1: into so finally they revealed his casket, and they pulled
8:02
Speaker 1: his casket out of the ground. They pried the nails
8:05
Speaker 1: off the top, they flipped it open, and there was
8:08
Speaker 1: Clarvius's body, and they pulled his body out, and they
8:11
Speaker 1: laid it on the ground next to the hole in
8:13
Speaker 1: the ground. Then as fast as they could, they closed
8:16
Speaker 1: the casket back up, now with Clearvius's body again outside
8:19
Speaker 1: of it on the ground nearby, and they reburied the casket.
8:23
Speaker 1: They put all the dirt back, all the grass back,
8:25
Speaker 1: made it look like nobody had touched it. And then
8:26
Speaker 1: after that was done, they walked over to Clarvius's body
8:30
Speaker 1: and they tied his wrists and ankles together with rope.
8:33
Speaker 1: Then they wrapped Clearvus's body in a large black cloth,
8:37
Speaker 1: and then together they hoisted his body up and placed
8:40
Speaker 1: him on their respective shoulders, and together they carried him
8:43
Speaker 1: out of the cemetery and off into the wilderness on
8:47
Speaker 1: the outskirts up the village. And then when the sun
8:49
Speaker 1: began to rise, they stopped and found a good spot
8:52
Speaker 1: to hide along with Clervius's body in the trees. And
8:56
Speaker 1: then when the sun went back down again, the two
8:58
Speaker 1: men were up and on the move again with the body.
9:01
Speaker 1: These men did this for days until finally they reached
9:05
Speaker 1: a massive fenced in plot of land in northern Haiti.
9:09
Speaker 1: When they got there, it was just starting to get
9:11
Speaker 1: light outside, and so with the.
9:13
Speaker 2: Light they could see dozens and dozens of these people
9:16
Speaker 2: moving through this vast field in front of them. And
9:20
Speaker 2: all these people.
9:20
Speaker 1: Were moving in a sort of jerky, unnatural way, and
9:25
Speaker 1: all of them were holding machetes. But these two men
9:28
Speaker 1: who had lugged clear Vus's body here were not afraid.
9:32
Speaker 1: They unlocked the fence and carried Clearvus's body right up
9:35
Speaker 1: a pathway through the middle of this field, past all
9:38
Speaker 1: these people. But as they passed by these machete wielding people,
9:42
Speaker 1: they didn't even seem to notice the men or the body.
9:44
Speaker 1: It was like this was totally normal. Eventually, the men
9:47
Speaker 1: reached the middle of this field where there was this building,
9:51
Speaker 1: and the men went inside, and the interior of this
9:54
Speaker 1: building was basically one large room with a table in
9:58
Speaker 1: the center and a bunch of shells that lined the walls,
10:01
Speaker 1: and the shelves were all stacked with glass containers that
10:04
Speaker 1: had things in them like dried plants and some taxidermid
10:08
Speaker 1: smaller animals, and also what appeared to be some human bones.
10:12
Speaker 1: And standing in the middle of this room was these
10:15
Speaker 1: two men's boss. He was a very old man, and
10:18
Speaker 1: he had this very expectant look on his face. Without
10:22
Speaker 1: saying a word, the two men placed Clearvius's body on
10:25
Speaker 1: the table in the center of this room, and they
10:27
Speaker 1: unwrapped the black cloth around him. Their boss looked very
10:30
Speaker 1: carefully at Clarvius's face, and then he smiled, and he
10:34
Speaker 1: handed each of the men a stack of money. Eighteen
10:38
Speaker 1: years later, in February of nineteen eighty, Clairvius's sister Angelina
10:43
Speaker 1: walked through an outdoor market and her small village in
10:46
Speaker 1: central Haiti. Now by this point it had been almost
10:48
Speaker 1: two decades since Clervius had died, and Angelina didn't really
10:52
Speaker 1: think about him that much anymore. But on this particular day,
10:55
Speaker 1: as she was shopping, an old man approached her, and
10:59
Speaker 1: he was very thin, his face was very sunken, and
11:02
Speaker 1: he had this long, deep scar on his cheek that
11:05
Speaker 1: went from the side of his mouth to his ear,
11:07
Speaker 1: and his eyes were bloodshot and they were kind of wide,
11:10
Speaker 1: like he was sort of wild, and in this gravelly voice,
11:15
Speaker 1: he told her that his name was clear Vus and
11:18
Speaker 1: that he was her brother. But when Angelina saw this
11:22
Speaker 1: guy and heard this, she did not think this was
11:24
Speaker 1: her brother. She thought, this man is obviously out of
11:26
Speaker 1: his mind, or he's lying, or both, but this is
11:29
Speaker 1: clearly not my brother, Clearvius, he's dead. And on top
11:32
Speaker 1: of that, like, in addition to all the discrepancies that
11:35
Speaker 1: she's immediately clocking, this man did not remotely look like
11:39
Speaker 1: her brother did. He looked completely different. In particular, there
11:42
Speaker 1: was this big scar in his face that she certainly
11:44
Speaker 1: didn't remember on Clearvus's face. So Angelina told this man that, no,
11:49
Speaker 1: you are not my brother and you need to leave
11:51
Speaker 1: me alone. But the man, when he heard this, he
11:53
Speaker 1: sort of freaked out, and he grabbed Angelina's shoulders and
11:56
Speaker 1: started violently shaking her, insisting that no, so he really
12:00
Speaker 1: was Clearvus Angelina screamed, and the next thing she knew,
12:04
Speaker 1: she was surrounded by a crowd of very confused but
12:07
Speaker 1: worried onlookers. And then a police officer walked over and
12:11
Speaker 1: grabbed the man and dragged him away. Later that same day,
12:15
Speaker 1: a police officer sat in an interview room at the
12:17
Speaker 1: police station across from this older man who kept insisting
12:21
Speaker 1: he was clear vus. And the story that this man
12:23
Speaker 1: told the officer about how he could be a man
12:25
Speaker 1: who had died eighteen years earlier really was absolutely insane,
12:30
Speaker 1: because this man claimed that eighteen years earlier, when he died,
12:35
Speaker 1: he remembered that moment because he heard the doctor literally
12:38
Speaker 1: pronounce him dead, and he heard his simpling start to cry,
12:41
Speaker 1: and then he remembered the cold when the hospital staff
12:44
Speaker 1: moved him to the refrigerated morgue, and then he remembered
12:47
Speaker 1: the sound of them nailing his coffin shut, and he
12:50
Speaker 1: remembered what it felt like when one of those nails
12:52
Speaker 1: punctured through and cut his cheek.
12:55
Speaker 2: That's how he got that big scar in his face.
12:56
Speaker 2: It was a nail in his coffin going through his face. Basically,
13:01
Speaker 2: he wasn't dead. He was totally mentally conscious of everything
13:05
Speaker 2: happening to him. He just physically couldn't move or react
13:09
Speaker 2: in any way, and he didn't know why, but everybody
13:11
Speaker 2: thought he was dead and he wasn't. And then he said,
13:14
Speaker 2: later that same night, as he's literally in a coffin underground,
13:18
Speaker 2: basically waiting to suffocate to death, he became aware of
13:23
Speaker 2: two men suddenly unearthing him and removing him from his coffin,
13:27
Speaker 2: and then they tied him up, wrapped him in cloth,
13:30
Speaker 2: and then carried him into the wilderness for days. And
13:33
Speaker 2: then finally they entered this building in the middle.
13:35
Speaker 1: Of this field, and they set him down on this table,
13:39
Speaker 1: and then he heard this third man thank the man
13:41
Speaker 1: that had carried him. And then this third man poured
13:44
Speaker 1: something into Clearvus's mouth, and then this guy just started
13:48
Speaker 1: chanting over and over again. And then a few minutes later,
13:51
Speaker 1: he found his body sort of was beginning to work again.
13:54
Speaker 1: He could open his eyes, he could sort of move
13:56
Speaker 1: his limbs, but things just felt different. So suddenly his
14:00
Speaker 1: vision was very strange and hazy, and his body movements
14:04
Speaker 1: were jerky and uncoordinated. It almost felt like his mind
14:08
Speaker 1: was moving slower than it really was. Supposed to like
14:10
Speaker 1: it was just dumb down or something, and it was
14:12
Speaker 1: at that point that Clearvus said he realized what was
14:15
Speaker 1: actually going on here. Clervius said this old man that
14:18
Speaker 1: had poured whatever in his mouth and was now chanting,
14:21
Speaker 1: he was a beaucorp, which is a voodoo priest in Haiti,
14:25
Speaker 1: and Clarvus said the beaux Corps had used a potion
14:28
Speaker 1: to turn Clearvus into a zombie. Clervius told the police
14:32
Speaker 1: officer that he'd been absolutely terrified and he wanted to
14:36
Speaker 1: fight back, but his body felt like jello and he
14:39
Speaker 1: could barely form a coherent thought, so there was no
14:42
Speaker 1: way he could actually do anything, he said. The beaucor
14:44
Speaker 1: shortly after this, untied him, made him stand up and
14:48
Speaker 1: then marched him outside of this building, and he said,
14:50
Speaker 1: everything looks so blurry outside, but he could tell despite
14:54
Speaker 1: his vision, that he was in the middle of a
14:56
Speaker 1: huge sugarcane field, and he saw at least a other
15:00
Speaker 1: people moving in the same sort of awkward, jerky way
15:03
Speaker 1: that he knew he was harvesting the sugarcane with machetes.
15:07
Speaker 1: The Boukor at this point handed Clearvus a machete and
15:10
Speaker 1: told him to get out there and join them and
15:12
Speaker 1: get to work. Now, something deep in Clearvius's mind told
15:16
Speaker 1: him to use the machete to attack the beaucor so
15:19
Speaker 1: he could escape, but he said he didn't. Instead, he
15:22
Speaker 1: just walked out into the field and did start working.
15:25
Speaker 1: And he kept working day in and day out in
15:28
Speaker 1: this bizarre, zombie like state for two full years. Then
15:33
Speaker 1: one day, another one of these zombies finally did attack
15:37
Speaker 1: and kill the baukor, and suddenly all the zombies were free.
15:42
Speaker 1: But the man, saying he was Clearvus, did not go
15:45
Speaker 1: straight home. He couldn't because he knew this Beaucor had
15:50
Speaker 1: not randomly targeted him. He had been hired. The Boukhor
15:53
Speaker 1: had been hired to turn clear Vus into a zombie.
15:57
Speaker 1: And in the mind of this man who claimed to Belvous,
16:01
Speaker 1: there was only one person who would have hired this
16:03
Speaker 1: boukhor to do that, and that person was still alive
16:07
Speaker 1: back home in his village, and so if he returned,
16:10
Speaker 1: they would very likely just kill him. So this man
16:13
Speaker 1: told the police officer that he had gone on to
16:15
Speaker 1: spend sixteen years just wandering around northern Haiti, working random,
16:21
Speaker 1: odd jobs, just kind of barely surviving, but he said
16:24
Speaker 1: he did keep up with news from his village and
16:27
Speaker 1: when he saw that the person who he believed had
16:30
Speaker 1: ultimately hired the bouk or to do this to him.
16:32
Speaker 1: When he saw that person had died, he said he
16:36
Speaker 1: felt safe enough to finally go back home. Now after
16:39
Speaker 1: hearing the story, you know, the police officer did not
16:41
Speaker 1: immediately think, boy, this is legitimate, this must have happened. Instead,
16:45
Speaker 1: he thought this sounded completely insane, but just in case,
16:49
Speaker 1: he went to Clarvus's siblings and he asked them to
16:52
Speaker 1: give him a list of questions that only the real
16:55
Speaker 1: Clarvius could answer, like super specific information from their child
17:00
Speaker 1: blidhood and things like that. And when the officer came
17:02
Speaker 1: back with this list and began asking this man the questions,
17:06
Speaker 1: the man claiming to be Clearvus, answered all of them correctly.
17:10
Speaker 1: This really was clear Vus. The news of Clearvus's return
17:15
Speaker 1: from the dead quickly spread all across the globe, but
17:18
Speaker 1: for the most part, when people outside of Haiti read
17:21
Speaker 1: or heard about it, they assumed the story was just
17:23
Speaker 1: folklore or some kind of hoax. But in nineteen eighty two,
17:27
Speaker 1: so twenty years after Clearvus supposedly died and two years
17:31
Speaker 1: after he supposedly came back to life, a Harvard University
17:35
Speaker 1: researcher named Wade Davis actually traveled to Haiti to investigate
17:39
Speaker 1: the story, and what he found was that clear Vus
17:42
Speaker 1: was definitely telling the truth. Here's what many scientists and
17:46
Speaker 1: Clearvus's family believe really happened to him on the morning
17:50
Speaker 1: of April thirtieth, nineteen sixty two when he first got
17:53
Speaker 1: really sick. So that morning he did wake up feeling
17:56
Speaker 1: perfectly fine. He was completely healthy, just like his sister
17:59
Speaker 1: and Jelina had thought. But according to Clearvius himself, that
18:03
Speaker 1: same afternoon, one of his brothers came over and said
18:06
Speaker 1: he just wanted to put the whole family drama, you know,
18:09
Speaker 1: about the inheritance behind them, and then he gave Clearvus
18:12
Speaker 1: a hug. But what Clearvus did not know at the
18:15
Speaker 1: time was that during this hug, his brother intentionally rubbed
18:20
Speaker 1: a fine powder onto his skin. Now this powder did
18:24
Speaker 1: make Clearvus incredibly sick, but it was not designed to
18:29
Speaker 1: kill him. Instead, it completely paralyzed him. He couldn't move
18:33
Speaker 1: his arms, his legs, his eyes, nothing, and it lowered
18:37
Speaker 1: his heart rates so low that doctors thought Clearvus was dead,
18:41
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Clearvus's brother and the beaucor he
18:46
Speaker 1: conspired with had planned for. They knew he would be
18:49
Speaker 1: determined to be dead, he would be buried really quickly,
18:53
Speaker 1: and then right after he was buried, the Beaucors sent
18:56
Speaker 1: those two men to dig Clearvus up while he was
18:59
Speaker 1: still paralyzed. They carried him off to that sugarcane plantation
19:02
Speaker 1: where he became a slave. Basically, he was given drugs
19:06
Speaker 1: every day and forced to work non stop and for
19:09
Speaker 1: the brother Clearvus's brother. The reason he did this is
19:12
Speaker 1: to punish Clearvius for being so selfish with the money
19:16
Speaker 1: he inherited from their parents. This was the plan to
19:19
Speaker 1: turn him into that zombie slave. It would turn out
19:22
Speaker 1: the active ingredient in the paralyzing powder that the brother
19:25
Speaker 1: rubbed on Clearvius was tetro detoxin, which is a poison
19:29
Speaker 1: found in pufferfish, and then the active ingredient in the
19:33
Speaker 1: liquid that the beaucor gave Clearvius when he arrived and
19:37
Speaker 1: then continued to give him on a near daily basis
19:40
Speaker 1: to keep him in line, was called the zombies cucumber,
19:43
Speaker 1: which is a hallucinogenic plant that's native to Haiti. After
19:47
Speaker 1: returning to his village and telling his story to the world,
19:50
Speaker 1: Clearvus actually would go on to live a relatively normal life.
19:53
Speaker 1: He would live with his siblings until he died in
19:56
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four at the age of seventy two. Even
19:59
Speaker 1: though you know he was able to clearly articulate who
20:02
Speaker 1: did this to him, his brother and the Beau Corps,
20:05
Speaker 1: both of them were dead by the time he returned
20:08
Speaker 1: and told a story, so nobody was ever held to
20:10
Speaker 1: account for any of this. Hey everyone, just a reminder,
