A/N: My dear readers from Romania, please do not be angry with me if I do not name places or something like that and continue to use my imagination. I do not know Romania, and I include only the one or the other to this topic in connection with Romania, or rather Wallachia and Moldavia, which I have found as a layman and understand myself. To this topic gives it very much scientific, which I would like to leave out here however. Because then it would not be a fantasy story anymore. Thank you for your understanding, love you.

The two days in this small but also very beautiful peaceful place have passed quickly. Or rather one and a half days. Because our private guide, arrived half a day earlier. She, like Zhan a historian originally from China like us, has lived in Romania for 25 years and has made it her mission to find out more about vampires and werewolves, like Zhan.

She already worked with Zhan and immediately agreed when Zhan asked her if she would help him again. Because she has contacts that Zhan doesn't have. She knows all the remote little villages where people still believe very strongly in vampires and werewolves.

But before it really started, she took us to Dracula's castle. Yes well, it was not really his castle, rather just a castle that resembled the description. But it was still totally interesting and beautiful.

She told me, that she was recently in a small village, where the staking of the dead is still done, so that they don't wake up as undead, get out of their graves and visit their relatives. However, the vampires there are generally not called vampires, but strigoi. Which is translated as ghost.

According to the historian, the name vampires was first created by Bram Stoker's book, Dracula. And vampires is translated to mean winged creatures. Back then through Bram Stoker's book, Dracula, there was also a rumor that he could turn into a bat. According to rumors, Bram Stoker took a term from his country of origin, Ireland, to name the bloodsuckers.

It was also interesting that many things related to vampires could be explained scientifically quite simple. Because often simple rot signs were wrongly interpreted. So Lee, the historian, told me that whenever people at that time could not explain why a dead person had blood in his mouth, was bloated or the skin peeled off and a new skin was visible underneath, that these had to be vampires.

Among other things, they are also mentioned in the context as a sure sign that someone was a vampire, with words like shroud eater, in the sense of after eating. Or smacking in the grave, which people claim to have heard. As well as the continued growth of nails and hair. But all this can be explained scientifically even simply. Like the blood around the mouth and the bloated bodies.

What I should also mention is that Lee explained that often corpses have also been falsely called vampires when the canines were longer. So fangs. But this is just as easily explained. Because when the skin dries up, the teeth become more prominent. And the canines are often pointed.

Oh yes, I should perhaps mention that there are people who drink blood. They like it or they suffer from anemia. Among them there are actually also some who drink blood because they believe it would help them.

So yes, I've learned quite a lot since Zhan and I have been traveling with Lee. And I was really amazed at how many stories there really are. Of course there are those famous stories like Count Dracula. Or the vampire of Venice. But stories like I heard in the last 8 days from mostly older people in smaller remote villages, I did not know and sounded like scary novels.

Whereby I think that much of what they told can also be explained scientifically. Other however rather not. Because with some stories I recognized also things, which I experienced myself.

But besides all the myths and legends that have been told to us, we have also found many old books. Mostly they are owned by private people who pass these books from one generation to the next.
