0:00This is a true story. Long before vampires haunted the screen,
0:03there was a real man, far more terrifying.
0:06His name was Vlad the third of Wallachia.
0:08History knows him as Vlad the Impaler.
0:10But in the forests of Eastern Europe,
0:12people whispered another name.
0:13Dracula, son of the dragon.
0:15In the. In the 1400s,
0:16Vlad ruled with brutality.
0:18He didn't just kill enemies,
0:19he impaled them. Thousands were left on massive wooden stakes,
0:23rotting in fields as warnings.
0:24Some still alive, eyes frozen in horror.
0:27They say he dined among the dead,
0:28dipped bread in blood, smiled while screams echoed.
0:32In 1897, an Irish writer,
0:33Bram Stoker, found the name Dracula in old texts.
0:37He never visited Transylvania,
0:38but something about that name stuck.
0:40He mixed history and horror
0:42and created a monster the world never forgot.
0:44But here's the truth. Vlad didn't drink blood.
0:46He didn't need to. He fed on fear.
0:49And some believe his soul never moved on.
0:51That the cruelty became immortal.
0:53So when the wind howls through the Carpathians
0:55and shadows move through castle ruins,
0:57just remember, it all began with a real man.
1:00And his shadow still walks.
