Romania
Walachia - Transylvania - According to the
locals, Hunedora Castle has numerous haunted activity, including the
famous Vlad "the Impaler" Dracula the 3rd. They say his agitated spirit
still roams the caste and his prisoners who were impaled or tortured.
In one room where two twin children slept were murdered in their sleep.
Also a boyar who found out his wife was having an affair, murdered his
wife by driving a spike threw her skull. Renovations were planed to fix
up the castle in 1995, but the labors were scared off when they found
Dracula's medallion (which according to legend he called upon the devil
for power) in the castle. Of course, they say the medallion is cursed.
Recently in October of 2001, a family was dared by "Worlds Scariest
Places" Family channel to spend one night in the castle. The family
recorded data of any poltergeist-like activity. Most activity seemed to
flourish when one of the family members found Dracula's medallion.
Understandably, no local dares venture in the castle, but it is
surprisingly open for tourism!
