*Lol

*i feel like this process could be a whole documentary on its own
*This is new material for me and I will incorporate some of it mythology and methods into my book "Written In BLOOD" ,the 8th book in my vampire series Children of The Dragon. I did not know anything about this princess, but the documentary helped me to understand some of the strange perceptions and superstitions associated with vampirism of that time. Thanks also to the Smithsonian Channel for doing a better job of presenting history than the History Channel does.
*This might sound crazy but i've seen that castle in my dreams. In my dreams it's in the past. i have long brown hair and i wear a long white dress with blood all over it. I run though the halls of the castle, sword in hand, chasing what seems to be my twin but her long dress looks like it has been burned. i keep chasing her, when ever i get closer she looks back at me (grinning) and says "You can't kill me, if you could you would have already done it... Besides if i'm dead, who would kill you?"
*this is crazy.
poor woman.
this was very cool to learn about.
*Amazing
*Poor Eleonora they Buried her like she was a horrible beast,which i so doubt .what do you guys think,they havent even inscribed the words she wanted on her tombstone :/
*Got damn im readin all these comments and i feel dumb as hell how the fuck do u ppl knw all this stuff... do yall jst sit ther for 30 to an hour and research this shit and then type it out as an arguement against each other
*Actually found this to be really interest the whole way through. Its history too. I dont find myself interested with history but this was fascinating like the history of the witch hunt and other tales. Like the the saying that tales and myth had to have come from somewhere true thing. *shrug* im going to fav this....lol. VAMPIRE HUNTER D YEAH! xD
*hehe thanks it always works!
*18:44
A pineapple? I sincerely doubt Austrians were even aware of pineapples during this time. Small thing, but it bothered me. This is still utterly fascinating--can't stop watching!
*Yes it is, i love Black Metal and goth as much as the next guy, but humans cannot subsist on blood. They can't digest an entire pint without throwing up due to the high protein content and they certainly can't absorb all their nutrients from it . Also, a venus fly trap is not really a vampire , they dont walk around sucking blood out of creatures . Sheesh . Did'nt you just see this documentary that debunked such notions?

*I believe you.. I have seen a few myself but they are not what you would expect
*It's not exactly the same thing, and whats stupid about looking into the superstitions and theories of the past. People still wonder and are confused about the salem witch hunt. Are you saying they simply should have forgotten that? What about cave drawings, should we have forgotten that? Just because its an irrational fear of people at the time, doesn't mean it can't yield historical clues about the mindset and fears of people of the past.
*Oh , by the way it says in luke , "In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world . This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria . And everyone went to his own town to register ."
Mary and Joseph went to joseph's home town of bethlehem to take part in this census .
There is proof this census was taken . The information given in the verses is correct . The census would have been taken sometime in the spring
*benlahnger , Christmas is the day of the winter solstice because the days get lighter and longer . The day is symbolic because Christ is the Light of the world . No we do not know Christ's birthday but I believe it is the best day to celebrate it on .
*Prince Vlad the third. Otherwise known as Dracula. His father joined the order of the dragon and was rafered to as Dracul (meaning dragon). Dracula means son of the dragon. The Prince is hailed as a hero because he kept the turks from controlling his homeland for longer then any prince before him. Though some of his methods were a bit harsh. He would have people put on stakes (mostly turks but sometimes his own citizens) and eat while watching them die, sometimes dipping his bread in blood
*thanks!...I'm just kidding with you :D...BLessed Be! )O(
*Just so you know I was kidding. I'm not that done.
*Actually the Julian calendar had the 25th as the date they celebrated the Winter Solstice. So scientifically they were off by 2 or 3 days. That was the date it was officially observed by their calendar at that time, and the Christians stole that date. Fact. If you want to talk about kindergarten logic, tell me why Christians don't celebrate Christ's birth on his actual birthday?
*well actually Winter Solstice happens December 21st or 22nd, which means the pagans were celebrating it on the wrong day or just chose to celebrate it on the 25th for other reasons, Christians didn't steal any date since winter solstice isnt even on that date they used, also they do know what his birth date is.
please don't comment if all you can present in your argument is kindergarten logic
*Look at it scientifically. We have vampiric plants (Venus Flytrap) Vampiric bugs (Mosquito, bedbugs, fleas) Vampiric animals (Vampire bats) So is it so crazy to believe that maybe there is a vampiric variant of humans?
