I have never read of, heard about, or witnessed anyone ACTUALLY able to control another human via "witchcraft". The friggin country of Haiti was dedicated to Satan - read up on the people, the evil is tangible and plainly apparent to all with eyes who will see.</rant off> I dont mean to froth but that I disagree strongly, pardon my lather

Yeah but most of the "witchcraft" in Haiti is consentual. Never one to say there's nothing in this world I can't explain, and certainly willing to admit Haiti is a wierd place (never been there, but my aunt was a travel agent for a while and brought me back a voodoo doll once, I could literally (and remember, I'm a huge disbeliever) find that thing in my oh so messy room just by "vibe", when I wanted to find it I knew right where it was, real freaky stuff). But most of the zombie and loa stuff has been shown to be little more than the "target" going along with it for reasons we can't figure out. Which, I think, occult investigators have known all along. There's gotta be a reason why that school is called "sympathetic magic", I think certain sections of society have known for a long time that the "victim" gives voodoo it's power, not the "caster". And of course I can't recall HP having anything to do with that stuff (could be a sidelong I've forgotten). Actually almost nobody in fantasy fiction has. Hmm could be a good convention panel. Better send myself an e-mail to remember this in July.
