The real story of Dracula

The Real Story of Dracula

I was investigating about the Real Stoy of Dracula, and who was my surprise when I found that the Count really existed. The story of Dracula is a story full of mystery and unbelievable facts, but despite all of these there is truth to this story: Dracula really existed.
After I had been checking and reading in several sources, I discoverd that Vlad Tepes known as Dracula was a king in one of the historical parts of Romania: Tara Romaneascã (The Romanian Country) or Walachia. He was born in 1431 in Sighisoara, Transylvania, Dracula grew up in a Germanic, and later Turkish atmosphere (as a prisoner from 1444 until 1448), then died in 1476 in a fight defending his country.
For a better understanding of the true character's of Vlad Tepes it is necessary to explain the origin of his name. "Both father and son had the given name 'Vlad'. The names 'Dracul' and 'Dracula' are really nicknames. So, both of these nicknames had two meanings. 'Dracul' meant 'devil', as it still does in Romanian today; in addition it meant 'dragon'.
After I had known all of this information, I decided to travel to Transylvania, to have a look myself.
Once there, I noticed a really weird feeling in all the atmosphere. All the people there, were looking at me like an intruder. At the end, asking and asking, I found the Castle where Dracula were living. I knocked the door, and suddenly, a housekeeper appear on the front door!
She was very interesting about me and she showed me with pleasure all the huge Castle. I wanted to see the Dracula´s coffin, so I was aking reapeted times about it and at the end, I could see the room which the coffin was!! It was terrorific, when I was 5cm from the coffin, suddendly, the lights turned off, and a scream was listened!! It was stormy outside and I couldn´t see anything. When I found a lighter, somebody has been killed to the housekeeper.
I started to run and run, and at the end, I could leave that horrible Castle.

The room

The steps after him were disappearing in a dark flog: there isn´t another way to follow. The men touched the door with precaution and repugnance; it seamed builded a lot of years ago from organic materials mixed with ground, stones, perhaps blood? When the thin man pushed the door it squeaked and he came in a strange room. There he had an unplaisant feeling and suddenly he understood why: there isn´t any noise, the silence was absolute; he cried but the sounds didn´t come out: he panicked. Few minutes after, he relaxed a little and saw the room, now felt something else more distressing than the silence: the walls, the floor and the roof made strange angles without relations to human patterns. Then the thin man fell over.

HOLIDAYS IN TRANSYLVANIA

Last summer, my husband and I decided to spend our holidays in one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe, Transylvania.
When we arrived, we decided to have a walk in the forest near to our hotel-castle.
The night was dark with occasional gleams of moonlight between the heavy clauds on the skay. Suddenly we saw a silhouette that was advancing towards us. For several minutes no one spoke a word. When it was near enought for us to see clearly, my husband raised his torch, Then we could see a man dressed with a black cloak and that his lips were stained with fresh blood. He still advanced and with a voluptuous voice said:" Leave your husband and came to me, my arms are waiting for you, came and we can rest together caaame! caaaame!. There was something diabolically sweet in her voice. I opened my arms and when I was walking towards him my husband inserted between us a little silvered crucifix. He recoiled from it with a cruel look, the color of his face became livid. If ever a face meant death we saw it at that moment.
The next day we changed our destination. We went, like always to the beach.
