Dracula’s Castle
Perched high in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania is Bran Castle, often called Dracula’s Castle. This ancient fortress looms over the village below, its shadow stretching like the long, cold fingers of a ghost. The castle’s dark hallways and twisting staircases have seen centuries of fear, bloodshed, and mystery.
Legend says the infamous Count Dracula, the vampire from Bram Stoker’s novel, was inspired by Vlad the Impaler, a brutal ruler who was known for his cruelty. Vlad was said to have impaled thousands of his enemies on sharp spikes, leaving their bodies to rot as a warning to others. Some believe his dark spirit still haunts the castle, seeking revenge on anyone who dares enter.

Vampires and other dark creatures
But it’s not just Vlad’s ghost that stirs the shadows of Bran Castle. Locals whisper of strange noises, cold spots, and eerie figures seen wandering the grounds. Some say they’ve felt icy hands brush against them, or seen glowing red eyes peering out from the darkness.
Could these be the spirits of Vlad’s victims, cursed to remain forever in the castle’s grip? Or perhaps the legend of Dracula has awakened something more sinister? As you explore its haunted halls, remember: not all who enter Dracula’s Castle leave unchanged.
Would you dare to visit?
