Popularized by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Bran Castle is a favorite among those interested in dark tourism. These individuals seek out scary, unusual and sometimes, down right haunted locations all around the world.
In modern Romania, the word Dracula has come to mean “the Devil” because of Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia. His epithet, “The Impaler”, is derived from his favorite method of execution which is considered the cruelest method – to penetrate a person with a stake or spear before driving it up and through the torso.
