Vampire legends
When we think of vampires, we think of full moons, werewolves, fangs, and immortal bodies.
Legends about vampires come from Brown Castle. The castle is deserted during the day, and at night there are terrible screams. A group of "people" gather here, each of them skinny, pale, slow to move, they have no heartbeat, no breath, they are real walking dead.
We know the legend of vampires, who lie in coffins during the day and come out at night to hunt for blood. People who have been bitten by them will not die or become vampire zombies like them.
Dracula
Brown Castle, famous for its vampires, is a city located in Romania. In 1897, an Irish writer wrote a novel called Dracula.
The protagonist, Count Dracula, entrusts a British lawyer to buy property in England for him and run a real estate business on his behalf, and the lawyer finds that the earl is not the same as a normal person, not only has the special ability to drive wild wolves, but also moves quickly, and lives on human blood. Many people were killed, and finally wiped out by a group of bold young people.
This novel is the "Night Interview with the Vampire" and "Four Hundred Years of Horror" that later became popular all over the world. As a result, Brown Castle has also been paid attention to by many people. Curiously, the castle is only open to me during the day and not allowed to enter at night, which may be why it arouses people's curiosity.
We don't know if there are vampires there, but the character of Dracula does exist.
Dracula's full name is Vlad. Then Beth. Tagura, also known as Vlad. Tepers. Dracula. His father was the governor of the Then Romanian King's Guard," the Dragon Knight.
Despite his prominent status, Dracula was sent to Constantinople as a hostage by his father as a teenager and lived a very miserable life.
When Dracula was 17 years old, his father and brother were killed by defectors, so he began to plan revenge and eventually regained power. The young Dracula showed great cruelty, the execution of betrayers, the repression of the people by high pressure, and the cruel criminal law.
What really gave him the title of vampire was the war with Turkey in 1462. In this battle, Dracula was betrayed by his cronies, and a man fled back to the city, and the Turks chased after him, and when they reached the edge of the city, the soldiers were stunned by the scene in front of them, and the more than twenty thousand Turkish soldiers who were captured were stripped of their clothes and stabbed into their mouths or buttocks with pointed wooden sticks, like huge meat skewers, and the corpses had been eaten by crows and vultures, emitting the smell of decay. Seeing this, the soldiers' morale was completely lost, only to retreat. Since then, Dracula has been labeled a vampire.
Vampires and plagues
Vampires really became popular in Europe from the 14th century. Because of the plague in that era, many people did not die because of the plague, family, friends, and neighbors buried them alive for fear of infection, and after a few days, the grave was dug up and found that there was blood on the body.
Science was not so well developed at the time, and mass death would lead people to believe in the existence of vampires. In fact, those who have not yet died are buried alive, and can only struggle desperately, and finally lead to scars and blood stains, thus creating the illusion that vampires come out of the grave to kill people.
