 In the French islands Guadeloupe and Martinique, people speak of Zombi rather than Jumbie to describe ghosts, revenants and other supernatural creatures.The Étang Zombi in Guadeloupe owes its name to the legend of the wife of a slaver who was killed by her husband for trying to free his slaves and now haunts the pond.The people of the Congo speak of what they believe to be a Nfumbi—ancestral ghost—which makes one wonder if there is any correlation between the words Jumbie and Nfumbi.
