That is deadication to the casue Beware peasentes (evil luagh)

"Real life" vampires are nothing special. You probably know a few: Odd living habits, nocturnal activity cycle, dislike of daylight, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, etc. This was basically enough to make superstitious peasants decide you had other unsavory behaviors, like drinking blood (which you may or may not actually do). For instance, folklore holds that vampires were obsessed with counting. You can see this particular pattern in none other than Count von Count. Today, we consider this less a sign of vampirism and more a sign of OCD. Basically, everything people thought was a vampire can be summarized in two categories: Mental and physical abnormalities and the behavior of a decomposing corpse. When a dude turns slightly reddish after death, that's not vampirism, that's just his blood pooling in the extremities and congealing.

In fact, most of what is presently believed about vampires was basically made up starting around the end of the 19th century. Prior to that point, vampires were just ugly, horrible, and weird, and not at all cool or sexy. Most of what people believe NOW is made up even more recently. Dracula, for instance, was not harmed by sunlight, it was just kind of annoying. The entire "sunlight harms vampires" thing was an aglommeration of totally unrelated things. "Vampires" and "werewolves" aren't even distinct critters, just a lumping of things that go bump in the night. See "vrykolakas".

In short, peasants are superstitious and believe weird shit about people who aren't normal, as well as people who are dead.

And yet she managed to lose out in name recognition to Marquis de Sade.

I was watching this show called "Deadly Women" and of the ladies that profiling. She even said:

"Elizabeth Bathory will go down as the worse serial killer of all time"

She did more inhumane things that can not be even described. In fact.

There was a girl (her victim) that escaped, Erzsebet ran after her, and put her in a small cage. So small to stand and to slender to sit. They hoisted the cage on a rope. The girl was headed towards spikes, and the guy hoisting her, ended up tweaking the cage to were the girl was impaled and

killed. Some of the people she tortured she would torture for days, and days on end. She didn't stop.

She even had sex with her victims, if they found it not pleasuring enough, she tortured them and killed them. If they did, she still killed them. This woman wasn't right in the mind. And she was female. A female! No one would ever expect that someone with a Royal title. She killed not only in Hungary but in Romania as well. She was insane, completely.

And she would write in her diary, every little detail of how she killed them. That was retrieved. And in that little diary over 650 people's names was written, showing that there could have been more.

Honestly if I were to be in a dark alley, and I saw Erzsebet or Marquis, I would be running from Erzsebet. Because that woman wouldn't stop, until she was in the tub beneath my bleeding corpse. She didn't stop once, not until she was caught. And then she died in her tower. That was her imprisonment. She was locked away in her tower, to die. And she did, four and half years later.

And she was only tried for 80 of those deaths, and after they convicted her, thats when they found out there was a lot more. A lot a lot more.

Very Cool woman altghough she was a mas murder!

Coughs

Yeahhhh. Still cool or not, she isn't a woman I would want to mess with

I have to Agree with you adout you do not want to miss with her.

I don't know who would want to mess with her. I mean heck, I would be scared to just go and see the castle she died in. Could you imagine, if you are sensitive to paranormal, such as ghosts. I am due to my heightened sixth sense. Anyway, could you imagine hearing the screams? Hearing the tortured howls of her victims? That would freaking scare me, or seeing her spirit...I am getting chills thinking about it.

I would like to see it and if I see her spirit I would capture it and realise at my school so it would casue trouble.

How in the world would you capture her spirit?

Eiether in a jam jar or use that umbrella ghost capture thing from ghost hunter. A tv show adout ghosts who or tring to avoid or free those captured by the ghost the hunter with the help of two kids. It was on the tv when I was young and I cannot remeber much it but it was a good show to watch.

The only way I can see anyone trapping her spirit is if someone was a Ghost Buster and had that machine where they kept ghosts. I am not sure a Jam Jar would work, due to the fact, she would get out o.O

It would be fun trying to put her in a jam jar though.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Artimis, I wish you the best. I wouldn't want to be there, when you try *shakes head then coughs*

Wait, what did Sade do that makes people know him more than her? I never thought much of him, I just heard he went to jail cause of a book and wasn't much different than his fellow people. She is worse easily..

That she is.

If I try that but knowing me I would run away.

I wouldn't want to get up close and personal. Spirit or flesh, No thank you.

I can see your point there.

Mhm, just not a place I would want to be.

Me too but if it was on the TV it would pocess it.

She was on TV actually. She was on this show called: "Deadly Women" and they talked about Erzsebet Bathory o.O

That sounds like an awesome tv show.

Its just about women that kill. And for some reason there are more deaths from "Arsenic" than anything.

Arsenic is probably cheap and cheerful to kill people.

Well back in the day, you could buy it over the counter. But when all the "homicides" began to happen, then that idea of selling it, wasn't such a good idea anymore. So, they stopped selling it all together. You can no longer buy Arsenic. Which is probably a good thing.
