Take a Trip Back in Time with These Amazing Photos from the Past

Don’t Knock on the Door of This Creepy Castle

If you feel like there’s something very eerie about this castle, you’re right. It’s none other than Dracula’s castle! Of course, Dracula didn’t actually exist, but the character, invented by Bram Stoker in 1897, was based on a Romanian prince named Vlad The Impaler, and Vlad actually lived in this castle we see here.

Vlad earned his awful nickname because he used to impale prisoners on large spikes, slaughtering and torturing tens of thousands of people in his life and being one of the most violent and horrific leaders in all of European history.
