Wallachia, Transylvania, Land of Dracul, Romania
“Beyond the green swelling hills of the Mittel Land rose mighty slopes of forest up to the lofty steeps of the Carpathians themselves. Right and left of us they towered, with the afternoon sun falling full upon them and bringing out all the glorious colors of this beautiful range, deep blue and purple in the shadows of the peaks, green and brown where grass and rock mingled, and an endless perspective of jagged rock and pointed crags, till these were themselves lost in the distance, where the snowy peaks rose grandly...“Just then a heavy cloud passed across the face of the moon, so that we were again in darkness . . . This was all so strange and uncanny that a dreadful fear came upon me, and I was afraid to speak or move. The time seemed interminable, as we swept on our way, now in almost complete darkness, for the rolling clouds obscured the moon.
“We kept on ascending, with occasional periods of quick descent, but in the main always ascending. Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky.”
-- “Dracula” by Bram Stoker.
The Grave of Mercy Brown
Exeter, Rhode Island- The small cemetery behind Chestnut Hill Baptist Church is where you will find the grave of the most famous "vampires" in New England. Mercy was 19 when she died but when other family members became sick soon after it was decided that she was a vampire. She was dug up 3 months after burial and her heart was still wet with blood .She was cut to pieces and her heart was made into a "antidote" to cure her brother. It is because of this violation of her body that she still haunts her gravesite and witnesses have heard a girl's cries and seen strange lights there.
