Transylvania is a land situated in the Carpathian mountains, filled with lush forests and sparkling rivers. During the day, it is quiet peaceful. The smell of the oaks and beeches, the sound of the trickling streams, the clear blue skies and the sight of the sheep grazing in the fields are sure to please any passerby.

The night falls. The looming moon comes up in the sun's place, the river turn black, the vast forest becomes so dark that you can't see the trees before you. Even if you have the eyes of a cat, fog often rolls in. Then you have the unpleasant feeling that you are being watched and something is waiting for the right moment to jump out of the fog and put your time in this world to an end.

You might merely shrug your shoulders and say it's your imagination, but in Transylvania, that is never the case. The land is the home of the supernatural: witches, werewolves, ghosts, creatures that walk disguised in the daylight and lurk in the shadows at night. If you are out alone in the forest after dark, and you suddenly feel the hairs on your neck stand up it is most likely one of those creatures are near.

Frightful? You think, perhaps. The reality is that most of these creature are harmless.

Witches are just citizens practicing potions or some kind of spells, to help others. Although there will be the occasional witch with dark intentions, so it's best not to provoke one should this be the case.

Werewolves are merely people, who become wolves, in the light of a full moon and are hardly ever aware of their transformation. In their wolf state, they carry all the instincts of a pedator, so should you ever encounter one simply lie face down on the ground and remain motionless and they will pass you over.

Ghosts are just poor lost souls and are usally non-violent. As they are transparent, they can have no physical contact with our living world. Should you see one, the best way to avoid conflict is to ignore it.

The monsters, you should be looking out for are the deadliest you will ever encounter: VAMPIRES

These undead creatures could kill you in seconds, in whatever way they wish. Some will be quick and sink their teeth immediately in your neck. Others might have a bit of fun and throw you around a bit. Either way, there is no chance of survival should you ever come across a vampire. They survive on blood, and to them, you are just another meal. Unless you are equipped with a wooden stake or a string of garlic, you will either die on the spot or become one of them as a result of their bite.

But there are rare occasions when a vampire will spare a potential meal. Why? The answer varies, but one theory is that even though their hearts have stopped beating, parts of their living selves still remain.
