Sorry, but no. Bathory was a real person. Some details may have been exaggerated over the passage of time, but she did exist.

i do believe in reincarnation so i'd love to hear a 'cosher' example of someone who was her in a past life and if so, what she remembered and how she (or he) dealt with it.
they say the vibrations in the ruins of csesthe castle (or was it mezde) can send you screaming into madness:eek:

It's possible. Where is this castle? Tell us some history about it. What do you know of Castle Glamis (Scotland) rumored to be one of the most haunted places in the world?

don't know much about glamis but i think it was the ancestral home of the late queen mother, i am aware it has a reputation of being haunted but with it belonging to the royal family (if it still does) access would be limited.
both of bathory's castles are in hungary csesthe in the carpathian foothills. can't remember all the details as the old books i had on vampire myth i bought in the late 70's/ early 80's are now in connecticut!

Maybe I ought to do some research. Maybe what this forum needs is a "Horror Places" forum to talk about all the scary/haunted places all over the world.

great idea, i never really researched hauntings, such a big area. i know a ghost-buster amongst my customers, fascinating people...

The deep South has really great haunted places. New Orleans use to be a hot spot. Poor guys... maybe in a few years they'll get the tours back up and running.

i had friends narrowly escape katrina, i bet the town's got a few more ghosts now sadly.:(

Yeah. It's very sad. I don't know there might be something in the energy of NO that makes it such a powerful ghost magnet. Europe has the best ghosts. There's a lot more history there.

The estate where she was locked up is ruines now, I've seen pics, but I'd like to try to see it, the landscape lookes beautiful. Theres a museum that has her diaries or something like that too.
