My own belief and traumatic experience...

I was 16 years old when I decided to join my family on a vacantion around the country.I was sure it wasn't going to be the coolest summer trip as my parents are so boring but I was fascinated by Bran Castle,in Transilvania.A large castle with beautiful surroundings was a great photoshooting,at least that I was thinking,as my best friend accompanied me.It eas the third time I was going to visit the castle and the whole region.There were only few miles and we were there.As we got there the nice guide,as he always is,started to present the castle,the history and the legend,it was a little boring I admit,as i thought this as stupid myths and old bed stories.My father was really enjoing the scene with the strange death of Vlad...I was carefully checking the daily program,as the gates were closing..I made few pictures because my camera battery went low.After vising the castle,my father decided to stay over night at a pension near,to enjoy the fresh air at least for a night,he said.We split the rooms and i was sleeping with my friend in the same room because it was such a scary feeling in that house.We spent some time in dining room,eating,talking,laughing...a little boring but nice as I did it foe my parents.Me and my friend went in the room to listen some music,some loud music but the old woman who was the owner of the house knocked at the door telling us to shut the music if we don't wanna have visitors,it was strange indeed but we laughed at her and told her we were paying her to use that room with everything inside.My parents went to bed so we decided to give a ride to surroundings.It was so quiet outside,very scary but we were big girls and we had to proove that so we went to store to buy some crackets for a cool movie after returning.It was such a strong feeling that someone was folowing us and not someone nice for sure.We finally got back and watched that movie,altough we tried to look relaxed there was something in that room that freek me out,we went to sleep as I was terrified only hearing strang noises outside and inside.I was almost asleep when I heard someone trying my door cleant,it was a man as he was breathing hard,noisy and fast.

Romania haunted by vampires..

In Romania for many years authorities in order to stop crimes burned graves and used thorns for killing vampires as a long time ago,after Dracula cursed his folowers to become vampires,the killing and teror was all around.It is sad that the first vampire form was taken by Vlad Tepes The Devil after he had been bitten by a bat.Science is been studying vampirism deseases for years as the infected people have certain marks and modified organic structures.Vampirism is considered in this country a true danger for many years.Many people claimed to see strange and scary figures along Transilvania's lands.Science men discovered diseases that cause vampirism,like porphyria that causes lost of skin pigments and lack of blood.Along time it was treated by doseing oral blood attesting the desire and need of drinking blood.Another disease is catalepsy that directly affects the nervous system...In Romania Elisabeth from Transilvania 1560-1614,drank blood from young girls to keep her young and beautiful.When she was caught,she was locked is her castle,killed and a thorn was stick in her heart,she was never seen since then...

Romanian Vampires

In my country,vampires are separated in two categories:dead or living people.The dead vampires are considered demons that terrorize comunity and drank blood to survive in our world..They became vampires through few changes.First they died,returned as ghosts and haunted family and house untill they became stronger in order to receive his body back.He returns to family killing cattle and bring deseases and curse,finally eating his family,friends and strange people.It is said that they kill people by sucking their blood and eating their hearts.Most of the vampires were new born baptized or evil people.In order to kill them and banish them,locals had to take their corpses,burn,decapitate and stick a thorn in their hearts.Other people who thought or suspect the dead becoming vampire,buried them prone with a thorn in their hearts.The living vampires were people cursed or born with a face mark and meant.For seven years vampires had to return to their grave every day light but after seven years they could live everywhere changing villages,cities and countries..

Vampire's origins...

First vampires kept for thousands of years in history and legend.It is said that the first vampires were born from Lamastu,a demon woman that killed and drank blood from new born children and young men in order to keep her alive and make her stronger.Lilith is another woman demon in Jews' legends,they say she was half woman,half snake.She was the first woman on Earth,but left Adam on Earth and went to Hell.She decided to make her own children but God punished her by killing all her children,since then she is drinking pure blood fron every newa born child.Also Greeks had her own evil godess named as Lamia who was a mortal mistress of Zeus.Hera,Zeus' wife made her mad and Lamia eat all her children,when she realised the horror she became a demon and started to kill children sucking all their pure blood.Asia and India had their vampires too,like Rakshasa and Vetala.Dracula,is the most famous vampire of all times.The legend starts in Moldova and Valahia where they are called ''strigoi'' in our language.They are usually human spirits that came back from the dead to feed themselves with human blood killing and destroing everything around...
