Mindless zombies may be walking among us. That’s not the wish of a feverish geek who prays for the day when ‘Left 4 Dead 2’ becomes a reality -- terrifying flesh-eaters may have finally arrived.

It’s actually much more of a literal statement than you might think. Some guy in Florida was caught by police gnawing on another man’s face. Then, a guy in New Jersey threw his intestines and flesh at police. Here are some other signs that the dead walk among us. If any of these things happen, you'll know the zombie apocalypse is here.
