Now, read on . . .The Hotel Castel Dracula
by Michael Brein
Told to me by Devon D. An American Dracula aficionado treats his girlfriend to a trip to Romania and Transylvania for Halloween. They overnight at the famed “Hotel Transylvania,” where strange things happen.
She wakes up with puncture marks on her wrist; he has a shallow cut across his. He purports to have a photo of this and sports a Bela Lugosi tattoo on his arm!
A man conceivably obsessed throughout his life with all things Romanian, Transylvanian, and Count Dracula, even to the point of sporting a tattoo on his arm of Count Dracula, aka Vlad, the Impaler, and also wearing a Bela Lugosi t-shirt, to boot, travels on a long journey all the way to the Hotel Castel Dracula.
Was he seemingly ‘drawn’ or destined to come to Transylvania at the behest of mystical forces, only to be subjected to mysterious blood-curdling procedures during the night at the hotel, otherwise known as the “Hotel Dracula,” on that one fateful Halloween night?
One wonders if this could conceivably be true or if it might have the makings of an elaborate perpetrated hoax or urban myth?
Says Devon, it was 2002, and the girl I was dating at that time asked me, “If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go?”
I said, “Well, I'd love to go to Romania, and I want to see the real-life castles of “Vlad the Impaler,” and where all the stories came from, and all the heritage.
