4 places a vampire obsessed person should visit part 2

      

If you’re into serial killers in addition to vampires, then look no further than Cachtice, Slovakia. If you decide to take a trip to the country, stop by Cachtice Castle, which was home to Countess Elizabeth Bathory, also known as The Blood Countess, or Countess Dracula, as she’s known for killing many. During her serial killing years, she murdered and tortured hundreds. When she murdered her virginal victims, she took their blood and bathed in it, hoping that the purest of blood would help her stay young and maintain her beauty. These days the castle isn’t in the best shape, as it has been around since the 13th century. If you’re interested in the infamous “vampire” serial killer, take a trip to Slovakia and explore the castle. Many have said it’s very eerie, especially to be somewhere where many were tortured and died. Although she wasn’t a true vampire, she certainly acted like one, and her thirst for blood was still there, any way you look at it. You can learn plenty more about Countess Elizabeth Bathory and her many victims throughout the years during your visit to the Cachtice Castle in Slovakia. Sounds like a creepy trip to us!                                                                                                Sofia, Bulgaria:- 

Back in the day, when someone died, people were willing to do anything in order to make sure that they would not come back from the dead as a vampire. As a result, they were willing to take many measures to insure this, whether it’s decapitating them, weighing them down, or sticking a stake through their heart. This was a sacrifice they were willing to make because they were so terrified of vampires. If you’re interested in seeing vampire corpses, or skeletons of vampires, the you should make the trek to Sofia, Bulgaria. Recently, 700 year old vampire skeletons have been found. These skeletons were discovered with iron rods sticking out of their chests. As previously, stated, people were so afraid of the dead coming back to life back then, and they were willing to take many precautions. Apparently, in Bulgaria, sticking an iron rod through a dead person’s chest was the way to go. If you’d like to find out more about the recent discoveries, or even more about the vampire history in Bulgaria, take a trip to Sofia. You can also check out the National Museum of History in Sofia, to find out even more information. Seems creepy enough to deserve a visit, don’t you think so?                        San Francisco, California:-San Francisco has its own vampire legends, in which you can take a guided walking tour through the city to learn more about them. You can learn the legends and visit the places, like many of the other walking tours that these vampire cities have to offer. What’s really cool about the city (or morbid, depending on how you look at it), is the infamous vampire serial killer that called it home, and killed many. Joshua Rudiger self proclaimed himself as a vampire that was thousands of years old, and acted just like one. He was found guilty of killing a number of homeless people in the San Francisco area. However, these murders were just downright awful and out of the ordinary. When Rudiger killed these poor homeless people, he slit their throats and drank their blood, mimicking a vampire. Once he was arrested and tried he was sentenced to 23 years of life in prison. It was not clear what the motive was and if he had one, it was some sort of mental illness. You can learn all about vampires both past and, well, present, when taking a trip to San Francisco.                                                                     Pisco, Peru:- 

If you’re interested in vampire legends of Peru, you really shouldn’t look any farther than Pisco, Peru. There’s a legend that says one of Dracula’s wives, Sarah Ellen, was executed in 1913, and laid to rest in Pisco, Peru. No other places would allow her to be buried in the soil because of the fact that she was claimed to be a vampire, until her body arrived in Peru, and she was laid to rest there. When she was executed, she vowed that she would come back and seek revenge 80 years later. Sure enough, 80 years later, legend says her grave was surrounded by people holding garlic and wooden stakes to stop her, if she should decide to come back and seek revenge. Of course, she didn’t magically come back to life, however, many people vow that she will eventually. If you want to hear more about the interesting legend from the Peruvian people themselves, then make the trek to Pisco. You can also visit her grave to see it for yourself. Maybe, she’ll seek revenge while you’re there, who knows! Either way, it’s really interesting to learn the legends and tales of other countries.

Vampire Cafe, Ginza, Tokyo Japan:-

If you’re looking for a real 'out of the ordinary' vampire experience that isn’t a historical tour, or a walk through of filming locations, then hop on a plane and fly to Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. Here is where the Vampire Cafe is located, and it’s definitely an experience you won’t ever forget. The cafe is completely vampire themed, with coffin shaped menus, blood red is the color of choice, and spooky decor surround the entire restaurant.

The food is kept with the theme, of course; you’ll be ordering from a coffin shaped menu to a waiter or waitress who is dressed like a vampire, after all. If you’re looking for a really awesome 'out of the ordinary' vampire themed experience, then the Vampire Cafe is definitely the place to check out.
