I was just wondering... visiting these Vaults and not seeing any thread on werewolves... impossible. Well, not anymore. Because I've decided to start one.
Everybody know stories about the big bad wolf who had eaten Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma, right? Well, IMHO, I think it was a wolf-man, or a werewolf.
More meaner than the petty vampires, more frightening than the wraiths and the wights (is there any difference?), maybe the zombies are worse than them, but this in a another story. Everyone has an idea about how this wolf-men look like: big, hairy, meany, with fangs at long as a man's arm, with fangs like dirks and all that.
Everyone knows about how the became werewolves: being bitten by a mad wolf. And everyone knows that they can be killed only by silver. This are popcorn stories, boys and girls. A real werewolf doesn't transform during a full moon, nor does they can be killed by silver.
My people thinks that they are doomed men. "They were once men...", and that they can be turned by a pie. Don't laugh, it's a special pie. I mean it's more of a tart with all sort of ingredients which equivalent in english I do not know.
I'll get back to you with more info.

Well, the guys were pretty cut off on the peak of the mountains there... but an "n" number of explanation can be found, right? But I vote for insanity and superstition, though

Wow, Lossie, horrific tale. And true, too. But, I bet this will freak you more than many other things... They showed at the news this year (in my country; yeah, Romania, land of all vampires... boohoohooo) in a simple backwater village in the mountains, where there was no electrical energy and even the people were a little 18th century if u get my drift. Anyway, they showed a couple of Buffys... You know... A couple of vampire slayers. Well, this two guys, father and son said that the entire village (even the whole world) was plagued by the Vampire Lord (the other son). So, this guy died a while back and when chickens begun dissaperingand people starting to have freaking dreams they decided that the boy has returned to kill em all. So, they chopped down some tools, made some stakes, went to the cemetery, dug the poor sod up, cut him open, burned his heart (they said so on the news, I'm "dead" serious; Lossie's story reminded me of this sad story) and drank the ashes. They swear that the "vampire" dissapeared since then. Well, they were charged with grave profonation, robbing, sadism, sent to jail, and to the shrink. So, the conclusion may be... we didn't evolve too much.

Wow, Lossie! Walking encyclopedia vampire lore, girl you! I've never heard about that Lilith... Intriguing to say the least. I guess that you didn't hear also about the Book of Enoh, that was removed from the original Bible because it was a too concrete evidence of God's existence (so I've heard) I am most certain that our prince Vlad is around here somewhere, buried in one of the many churches he made. For the last time, Dracula was a woman. Now, seriously, heck, nobody could know for sure what went on back then. But from what I've read Vlad was cruel, but fair, not a vampire. BTW, I liked the last fallen angel better. I have this thing against anime. Sometimes they are nice (i.e. yours), but most of the time they are hentai.

Okay, I’ve been digging through my grandma’s magazines lately and guess what… I’ve found the papers regarding that Dracula woman: Erzebest de Bathory. First of all, what is about to follow is really sick perverted stuff, so if you don’t want to know how sick can people be, skip it. Secondly, these things are real, the Bloody Countess really existed in Hungary and has done some really gross things. I won’t exaggerate the facts, I’ll relate them in the same way I’ve read them. So, let’s make it happen, captain! During 1604-1610 the countess de Bathory, aided by a convent of witches, who had sold their souls to the Devil, sacrificed 650 virgin girls. I think you can easily make out their goal: THE NUMBER formed with three 6. They were very close of achieving that goal when the authorities nicely stopped these actions. The witches were beheaded, but the dreaded countess, with the aid of a clever lawyer, managed to elude the axe. Nevertheless, she was blocked in, in one of her castle chambers. There, she died after four more years, without light and candle. Sad, right? (I’m ironic, of course) Okay, let’s get to details. The greatest Romanian ruler from the Middle Ages, Mihai Viteazul (his name would roughly translate to Michael the Brave) lived in the same time with the countess. He was the first ruler who united our three provinces into one big country. Alas, this union lasted only several months, because, betrayed and overmatched, he was killed in 1601. Beheaded. (Yes, I know, I’m constructing the historical background) The important thing is: on the front of his woolen hat was 10 magic (!) stones, ten sapphires, I think. Maybe they were not magical, but it was believed that these jewels, if united, could vanquish evil. So, releasing the opportunity, de Bathory acted immediately. She send her pet-midget (the only man in her organization) to recover the jewels. The midget managed to get only two jewels, but still it was enough; because, the others had been sold, dispersed by thieves all over the world. After this, de Bathory carried out her plan. To sacrifice 665+1 (I don’t want to write that number) virgin girls. What did she try to achieve by this we can only guess; I think she believed in opening a gate to Hell, or something. Others say that she was only crazy. The other witches acted like great madams, looking for maids. During these perilous times of poverty many girls applied. Only that they were never seen after. The most victims had between 14 and 25 years, it seems. Once the girls were in the service of the witches, they were brought to de Bathory’s castle. Here, they were put through a sick, twisted sacrificial process. First every hair (except the one of the scalp) was depilated carefully. Then, they were brought naked to sacrifice. After, de Bathory was arrested in her castle was found many torture instruments: Iron Maidens (this is some kind of sarcophagus, only that it has spikes inside. So, when the poor girl was put in, she was killed by impalement, of course, and every drop of blood collected in special reservoirs), needles, scythes, all kind of blades etc. The torture implied the cutting of one or both breasts, scarring certain areas of the body, strange markings made with a hot iron and peeling off the skin. Also, the countess used to “play” with them. During the short days of winter, when the temperature dropped below zero degrees, she ordered them, to be taken outside naked and sprayed with water. Of course, that the water froze on the skin, causing death by pain and by hypothermia. Mostly, by pain. Imagine, having one of those ice caskets on your naked body. Brrr… It is said that the countess, like the Queen of Egypt (Cleopatra), was advised to bathe in virgin girl blood. The only difference rest in the fact that Cleo used to bathe in goat milk to keep her beauty; the countess bathed in blood. So, you already know how these events end. Ophelia, I think you’re satisfied now. And girls, be very careful when you apply for a job.

Well, Oph, although I'm from Romainia, we don't have so many vampires here. As I've said, I would have love Romainia even more if it had more vampires (I think I would have made a perfect vampire hunter).
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this : I couldn't find anything more about Elizabeth de Bathory. Apparently, my grandma, who had the docs, made them unreacheable for me (sent them to the recycle bin). Nevertheless, I won't stop researching, only that it is going to take a little while more.
And, Oro, I have read about all that stuff in a romainian magazine, articles taken from Le Figaro, I think.

Since Ophelia asked me so nicely to freak her out and I can't refuse a lady, I will. Still, I won't swear here, or in the presence of any lady, girl or woman.
Okay, the countess used to have this big, scary castle with a large garden. Later on, when the garden has been dug up they have discovered caskets. In the caskets, the digger have found skeletons. Nothing freaky until here, yes? Well, studying the stains and the marks on the skeletons they have determined that: The countess was sick. And I mean sick: these were girl skeletons, about 18-20 years old; cause of dead, lack of air; cause for the lack of air--- frozed in ice. The countess had this big fridge were she hold the later vicims fresh... ready for the meal, eh. Well, that's the nice fact: the ppl also discovered there some Iron Maidens (not the band, preciouss), torture devices: a big casket with stakes on every wall. The door was closed and the blood collected in a reservoir for later use. The countess was not alone in all this, no preciouss, she had this vamp butlers who shared her passion for anatomy. Some say, she used to have sexual parties in blood (gross, man). And I mean lots of it; it took about 500 l of water to wash all the blood away. Well, other say she liked to eat flesh; maybe this isn't so true, but still... I don't recall right now all the things this Vampire-sex-blood countess has done, but I'm going to do some more research.
And guys, I hope nobody has lost s/he's lunch for reading this.

Vampires! My favorites! Wow! Ok, I played Nocturne, freaked me out. I've seen Dracula and lots of other movies with vamps, freaked me out, visited some castles in my native country, Romainia, which btw includes TRANSYLVANIA too. (we romainians spell it TRANSILVANIA, and we prononce it differently.) Ok, so vampires are the best dark creatures. Let's get some things cleared up. Vlad the Impaler, or Tepes as we call him has been oftenly depicted as the bloody count Dra-Dracula (L Nielsen movie ;D). Firstly, he was the ruler of the lower part of Romainia and not Transylvani between 1456-1462. He ruled for some weeks in 1448, he was betrayed, he came back, ruled for those six years, then he was betrayed again (by the boyars, the rich ppl of Romainia) and taken captive. He was held in a castle in Transylvania during that time, The Bran Castle, which I have seen (it's beautiful). After some years he was released by his cousin Steffan the Great, the ruler of Moldavia (a romainian province). He then ruled, for a month in 1476, was betrayed again and killed. He battled with the turks a lot and had lots of victories until the turks asked for peace. He was fair, very fair, but very cruel. It was said that if u had left a bag with money on the street during that time u would have found it even after a month in the same place. Why? Because murder, thievery, rape and other evils were punished very brutally, almost inhumanly. I mean, he use to cut the hands of the thieves, the head to the murderes and the .... to the reapers. Well, but the most common penalty was the impalation, which gave him his name. Tepes means in english, not Impaler, but high, sharp pole. Let me tell u how he used to impale those ppl. In all the movies u can see ppl impaled on their backs or bellies, right? It's false, it's a fantastic lie to make the movies more cheesey. In fact, the pole was beign struck with large hammers on the victim's bottom (or excuse my language, butt - hope I won't have probs for this). Anyway, the pole penetrated the body and it usually rose up in the skull, throat, mouth and all. Get the picture? Anyway, his enemies used to make stories about him: that he used to eat flesh and drink blood. Well, they were impaled also. And no record states that Vlad used to drink blood and all. Dracula, is in fact a woman. Some say that are the evils comes from women. Now they are right. Dracula was actually Countess Elizabeth (like Dragoneyes said) de Bahory, from HUNGARY. The country which has taken Transylvania from the romainians; we took it back Anyway, as Dragoneyes said, she used to bath in virgin girl blood to keep herself younger. And that's not the only thing she had done (inhuman I mean). I fu guys, want me to tell the others as well, say so, because I won't do it unless I'm requested. Many are gross, yes... So, in conclusion there's no vamps in Romainia; too bad; I would have made a great vamp hunter.

Okay, first of all, I ask all of Nicole's Kidman fans that haven't seen yet "The Others" to stop reading. This post contains spoilers from the movie. Last night I've seen this movie. Apart from being a great ghost story, I was pleasantly impressed by the idea. The fact that a family of ghost (a mother and 2 kids) were living in their old house and they didn't know they were ghosts. And they thought that the real owners were ghosts. So, I bring forth this new theory: what if the ghosts don't know what they are? What if the ghosts (some of them) don't realize that they're dead and trapped between two worlds? I know, all we have on them are assumptions and theories; we don't really know for sure what they are or even for sure if they exist or not. But, I still find this idea interesting... Don't you?

Hmm, modship? I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean. And the whole story? It was just one pic. But, I have a strange fact for ya... It happened to me two times to wake up (in the morning) with my little lamp by the bed lit. I always turn off that damn lamp, so I couldn't have just fallen asleep with it on. I couldn't have litted it in the sleep either, because the lamp is like, half a meter away from my bed on the vertical scale. I mean, a bit above and on the right. I know that everything is possible, even a stupid glitch that could have changed the on/off setting of the button. And, of course, I could have been sleepwalking, but it is very improbable. So, any more suggestions...

Oh, Ophie, you have an explication for anything. The thing with the book and the plants was very interesting. Okay, sometimes in a house, flat, villa or anything strange noises may occur. Mostly it is our imagination... sometimes it's not. I live in an apartment block. So, anytime when my up neighbor walks through his room, and it's night, and the tree leaves are singing, the stray dogs howling I hear him. creek--creek. And every damn time it succeds in scaring me. And another thing... Once upon a time, I've seen in a book a very nice picture... A little girl was sleeping nicely in her room. Night... Open window... In a chair near the bed was resting... her guardian angel. More will follow...
