Saltwater effects on the undead
By Historian Scirun
I read in the 'Encyclopedia of Parapsychology and Occultism' that saltwater
can be given to a zombie to drink, and that will make the zombie human (or
animal) again...and salt can also be used to keep evil things away (but I
have no proof of this). In Florida's Everglades, I was just going around on
an airboat and came across a shack. Inside the shack was a trapped zombie
(at least it had all the properties of a zombie : decaying flesh, not much
common sense, etc.) and I figured it had been there for a while and it would
be for some time to come. No clues were around as to how it got there. I drove to
the coast of Florida and took a bucket of salt water and went back to the
shack. I brought a Beretta just in case. I let the zombie out and gave it
plenty of room to move around, and for me to move around. It went
straight for me, so I threw the bucket of saltwater at it and I drew the
Beretta. But the water it self burned off the upper torso, head, and upper
arms of the zombie.
Test:
I kept the remains of the zombie in the shack and over the past few months I
have been back and fourth with different things to run tests with. I have
used natural saltwater from different parts of the ocean around Florida and
homemade saltwater (tap water, table salt) on the remains of the zombie.
Conclusions:
Homemade saltwater does nothing to zombie flesh. But natural saltwater acts
like acid on decayed flesh.
How this has proven effective:
I have found that natural saltwater can be put in any type of water pistol or
water balloon and be just as effective as a bucket. And it can harm a zombie
no matter where it hits. So a bullet to the head or decapitation is no longer
needed.
Notes:
Zombies may not be the only thing that natural saltwater can harm. So further
testing on different entities should be conducted. I don't know if a zombie
drinks saltwater, it will turn it human again or not. But I doubt you can get
a zombie to drink it... unless you trick it somehow.
Special Notes:
Once when I was coming back in from the swamp after testing saltwater filled
paintballs (which are also good on zombies), I saw a creature that was as
large as a grizzly bear, but resembled a reptile. I don't know what it was,
but it charged the airboat and I shot it with one of the paintballs since
that was the only weapon besides a dagger that I had. The paintball hit above
the head and the creature let out a long shriek and ran the other way and I
never saw it again. I am not sure what the creature was because I never heard
anything about something that looked liked that...either because no one has
lived to tell about it, or it was a figment of my imagination. And I am
somewhat sure the saltwater is what caused it to run away..because it was
large and I doubt a paintball would have harmed it. Or maybe above the head
is a weakness. I have found no documentation on anything that resembles this
creature.
