Dracula, as he is popularly known, is loosely based on the legend of Vlad Dracula -- better known as Vlad the Impaler, a notorious ruler in Romania in the 1400s.
It was quite informative. Just had a tongue in cheek style. It wasn't meant to be a hard hitting documentary piece. I'm sure there are more serious pieces filmed about the castle and the region available.
it's such a wide spread rumor that it means ''son of'', but it's not true and it never was. drac indeed comes from the latin draco meaning dragon but also serpent. in the bible, the serpent is represented as a snake, hence why drac also means devil. his father's name was ''Dracul'', literaly meaning ''the dragon'' from the knightly order that he was part of. vlad the III carried the same name but it got bastardised as ''Draculea'', shortened version of ''draculean'', that ''an'' ending is very common suffix in all indo-european names, like adrian, or naming people from other countries like iranian. so the bastardisation ''draculea'' can be at best interpreted as ''of the dracul'' family, something like this, but not as ''son of''
It's based on 2 things: the kundalini and the double helix dna strand. Both represent the god Enki, and all forms of him have been demonized by the Judeo-Christian religions. There are certain sects though, that secretly worship him. He is the dragon, the serpent or Nacash. "Wise as serpents"...
I spent one month teaching an English camp 20m in from the castle. The castle is worth a visit but the whole surrounding area is fascinating and you can really feel the mysticism in the air. In the summer the hills and mountains are a light green colour patched with thick forests. Yes the tourism side of it is like anywhere but too be honest it wasn’t as bad. It’s just one street around the castle. Brasov is a larger city that is not far and well worth a walk around. Romanians are always quite friendly as well.

Vlad was undoubtedly ruthless but he wasn’t the monster they paint him here as, he was also very loved by people, particularly the poorer class as he rarely showed nepotism to the ruling boyars, yes he also committed atrocities but so did literally every other medieval ruler, vlad was the first european military leader who actually managed to stop the ottomans, and always personally led his men.
Vlad Tepes was a great Military Commander as well. He once had his men put the horse shoes on their horses backwards when fleeing a position to throw the enemy off their trail.
That's true. Western media often paints him as a blood-thirsty tyrant but he was actually more complex than that. Yes he was brutal when it came to delivering justice, but there are also accounts of him being charitable by rewarding hard work and honesty. He was also said to have been a loving husband and father.
As a person that was born in Transylvania and that lived there, Dracula wasn't a bad person, actually he was a great leader to Transylvania and did great things, as an example of that would be, if one person stole something or hurt someone else he would punish them in a not so friendly matter, like you can see the methods he chose (the spike chair ect.) While he was doing the punishment he also help form Transylvania and made the people living there to be nicer and have more respect to one another. That's why the people there are much nicer than most of the other parts of Romania.I know this because many people know the history and I have been to the castle and read many things. Before you guys said he was "horrible horrible person." get ur facts correct.
He was a bad person "steal from the rich give to the poor" that still not right even though he was doing something good out of it. They have their facts straight.
actually dracula was born as a real vampire. with reincarnation you can live different lives and be with different families in each century. ik this because someone who told me who claims to be the son of dracula. just to let everyone know im half vampire wheather you believe me or not. yes i do have a scar between my arm and hand and yeah i have fangs and do i feed on blood or energy i havent thought about it and havent done it yet. so yeah i had this scar well fully heal but still have the scar till this day and i had it since 2014 all the way to 2024. also i do know alot of whereabouts where vampires are located. i did my own research. yes you have good vampires but also bad ones just as good humans and bad. you might not believe i happen to be one. but like saying you can discover 5% of the ocean or discovering space and neither is fully explored. you might meet someone one day and not realize their a vampire and they wait to tell you in few years which happened in my case. Do we talk? no we dont. we lost contact with each other awhile back in april 2023
I went to Transylvania around 15 years ago. It was dirt cheap, embarrassingly so. The amount of tourist crap was a lot, and I can only imagine it's gotten worse. The castle they're showing isn't actually Dracula's castle.
Returning to life, time and again since the Ancient Middle Ages, the Evil Lord Dracula has driven people to terror. Each time Dracula returned from the dead, the Heroic Belmont Clan fought him in the Shadows, wielding the Holy Whip called the Vampire Killer.
Romania is smartly capitalising on an entertainment tourist hotspot inspired by an important historical figure and Irish fiction writer. Unfortunately, too many people don't bother learning the real truth of Romanian history. ]:
Vlad II Dracul, the father of Vlad III Dracula (Țepeș) was the founder of the Drăculeşti dynasty, which lasted until the 17th century. The surname "Țepeș" is actually a nickname (given by the Turks) given to Vlad III Dracul(a) as a result of the method of stabbing used by him. This nickname “Țepeș”, it is associated with Vlad after his death, has remained in use to this day.
im so sick of this,Vlad was from an old rulling dinasty Basarab who originated in Transylvania ,the first of that brach was Negru Voda or Black King ,Vlad was born in Transylvania in Sighisoara and ruled only Wallachia since Transylvania was ruled by King Matthias Corvinus also born in Transylvania and known as King of Hungary and Croatia.Real Vlad castle Poenari in the south of Romania on Arges river
Vlad Tepes was not a horrible human being. Do watch your descriptions. He was a ruler, and employed methods of his time, which were not his invention. He learnt impaling from the Ottomans and used it, at a different scale that is true, to wage psychological war against them.
I had the scare of my life there as there was what seemed to be a statue but was instead a dressed up guy that stayed still. He suddenly rose from his chair near me. It was a long time ago. There are 2 castles turistically associated with him. Bran is the fancy one and then hotel Dracula ( the one close to Bistrița that is mentioned in the book). At hotel Dracula you can go into a dark room with a casket, I won't spoil what happens next. His citadel, Poenari, is much older and not that preserved so it is not very popular even though that was his home
If I go to Romania, you bet yo ass I'm staying at the Dracula themed hotel, and I'm even gonna be walking around in a vampire costume carrying an umbrella. 🧛♀🦇🍷🩸⚰
Everyone says that Vlad the Impailer was a horible person but he never harmed innocent people for example he only tortured thiefs murderes and conquerers. One cronicle says that he left golden cups next to wells and no one dared to steal those and merchants travelled especally trough Wallachia because how safe it was. And he also defetead the ottomans multiple times. But no one talks about those things .
No it doesn't. It's Christian BS, like changing the birthday of Jesus just so it can fit the new holiday they stole from pagan traditions and called Christmas.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to *VAMPIRE INCANTATIONS* for helping me become a part of the Vampire clan. Your incredible transformation has truly worked for me, and I am immensely thankful everything. I cannot thank you enough for this invaluable assistance.
I have also been there, but had no clue about this horror museum in Bran, although I took a pic with it, the thumbnail of *My Trip to Dracula* video. Have to go there AGAIN one day ;-)
Wow, so Dracula was there in the 1400s? Does this mean all vampires trace themselves back to historical Romania? If that’s the case then I’m a 🦇 ahahaha 😂
That's a good verse to keep the thoughts away from you of wanting to become a powerful vampire imagine centuries to amass wealth have powers wives and obtaining property the lord is my shepherd I shall not wish vampirism to be real for me living in pleasures we shall not become Matthias thereby damming are souls at the judgment even for you that Don't or refuse to believe in heaven, hell,the Bible, & God I say can you even take that chance
Of course, Transylvania, meaning in Latin over the forests, is a beautiful region in Romania, with castles, medieval towns, beautiful nature, wolfs and bears aso
Fake news! Look it up, there is nothing in history saying that Vlad was ever in Bran Castle. Bram Stoker, the author, “made” it his castle in the 1800’s because the castle was cool looking
Can Anybody tell me where is Exactly The Dracula Castles in Romania if i come to Romania International Airport from there how i want to go there any Map can you friends share here so that it will be easy for me. And it has been mentioned that it is located in Transilvania
My friend there is alot of tours they offer just ask and you will be fine do some planning online before you go Romanians are the most heartwarming people in the planet you will be loved there
The real Dracula, Vlad III never lived in Transilvania,,, he was just born there! The Bran castle, was NOT he’s home. He’s castle was Poenari- castle in Arefu,,, he was a impale but not a vampire! The name “ Dracula” ment to be “son of the dragon” not son of the devil He was knowing for being a very cruel, and NEVER a romantic! He only married with a kings cousin for political reasons. This Dracula Bram Stokers created is just a illusion, considered that He’s was Irish and never being in Romanian!
