Touhou style myths! The zombie actually originates from Hatian voodoo, Zombie meaning a person missing half of its being, either its soul or its body (so it covers what we would call a ghost too). It was thought they could only be made and serve a Baron (voodoo god) servant and was considered cruel and evil, since it’s splitting a person in half and enslaving them. In this state, they are completely empty and only exist to serve the one who resurrected them, but eventually they will die again. They could also be freed by feeding them salt.

The existence of such a state carried over from west Africa to slaves in the Caribbean and us, in which black owners/supervisors would weaponize it to prevent slaves from killing themselves, lest they be brought back a husk to slave forever.

The parts about them eating people, needing their head cut off, or biting and spreading their state are a contemporary thing stemming from George rameros 1968 movie night of the living dead, which is pretty much what every modern pop culture zombie is based around. It’s unfortunately another thing from the voodoo religion that has been completely reinvented in the modern.
