Vampire Bat Mythology
Although many cultures have stories about them, vampire bats have only recently become an integral part of the traditional
vampire lore.
Indeed, vampire bats were only integrated into vampire folklore when they were discovered on the South American mainland
in the 16th century. Although there are no vampire bats in Europe, bats and owls have long been associated with the supernatural
and omens, although mainly due to their nocturnal habits, and in modern English heraldic tradition, a bat means "Awareness of the
powers of darkness and chaos".
The three species of actual vampire bats are all endemic to Latin America, and there is no evidence to suggest that they
had any Old World relatives within human memory. It is therefore impossible that the folkloric vampire represents a distorted
presentation or memory of the vampire bat. The bats were named after the folkloric vampire rather than vice versa; the Oxford
English Dictionary records their folkloric use in English from 1734 and the zoological not until 1774.
Although the vampire bat's bite is usually not harmful to a person, the bat has been known to actively feed on humans and large prey
such as cattle and often leave the trademark, two-prong bite mark on its victim's skin

Draculas Castle
Poenari Castle (IPA: /po.ǐe.'narʲ/) also known as Poenari Citadel (Cetatea Poenari in Romanian), is a ruined castle in Romania,
in Argeş County (Căpăţânenii Pământeni village of the Arefu commune) on a canyon formed on the Argeş River valley, close
to the Făgăraş Mountains. It stands on a cliff, on the right side of the Transfăgărăşan road which climbs high into the mountains.
Poenari Castle is said to be one of the most haunted places in the world.
It was erected around the beginning of the 13th century by the first Romanian rulers in the South region of Romania, known as
Wallachia. Around the 14th century, Poenari was the main citadel of the Basarab rulers.
In the next few decades, the name and the residents changed a few times but eventually the castle was abandoned and left in ruins.
