    Known as ‘Vlad the Impaler’. Typically a victim was impaled alive, through the rectum, and in suspension.

    Romania does have some dark pockets of history. Catalin, there is an old meatworks in Bucharest where a terrible pogrom took place. Do you know this location?

    Catalin, you`ve really done this beautifully by capturing the chill of the legend. I was in this area briefly in 1968, but unfortunately missed the opportunity to see the castle. Hope to get there again.
