What happens after death?

Across every civilization, people believed that some of the dead never truly stayed dead.

In this documentary, we explore the complete mythology behind humanity's most terrifying undead creatures—from the Serbian vampire that terrified Europe in 1725, to the Romanian Strigoi, Norse Draugr, Chinese Jiangshi, Haitian Zombie, Slavic Rusalka, medieval Revenants, Liches, Ghosts, and many more.

Unlike modern horror movies, these creatures were deeply connected to history, religion, psychology, grief, folklore, and ancient beliefs about what happens when death is unfinished.

In this video you'll discover:

• The true origin of vampires

• Why Strigoi returned to their families

• The terrifying Draugr of Viking mythology

• The real history behind Chinese Jiangshi

• The forgotten Nachzehrer

• Medieval Revenants

• Haitian Zombies before Hollywood

• The philosophy of the Lich

• The tragic story of the Rusalka

• Why ghost stories exist in every civilization

This documentary combines mythology, folklore, history, anthropology, religion, and archaeology to explain why nearly every culture imagined the dead returning.
