Ghoul spike babies? Options

[Daddy's Litt...]

There are rumors of spike babies, before the Awakening, but these are usually dwarves or elves or hints of magic but I was researching some late 20th century vids, don’t ask why, and wonder if there was any proof, or maybe I have found some of a pre-awakening outbreak of the Krieger strain of the HMHVV.

Today people in the know; understand zombies are animated cadavers given power to move by a mage, and it is the mage who directs them what to do. With out his commands they do nothing.

The vids in question that I came across were fully of ‘zombies’ who moved without being animated by a mage and had a hunger for human flesh. They usually had dead looking with glazed over eyes. People they bit, even without killing were’ infected’ and changed into these same ‘zombies.’

I know these vids were the work of screen writers but the original idea like that sounds very much like the infected entities we now call ghouls. So when or where might this have broken out/? Would there be any government records about quelling it?

Did the creator or the earliest such vid, Romo, Romeo, Juliette, something like that ever make a statement about his source?
