Vampire Princess Discovered THIS IS REAL !!
Eleonore von Schwarzenberg in the Medieval Town of Krumau in Bohemia
Yes that's right there really WERE VAMPIRES !
This is about Princess Eleonore von Schwarzenberg (1682-1741)
She was sensitive to daylight and only left her castle at night - secretly ...
During an inquiry into a possible ancestor of Dracula. In the small medieval city of Krumau, in Bohemia, a team made up archaeologists, historians and medical examiners discovered and examined three corpses buried in a South-Western direction, and not East-West, as is normal in Christian burials in that region.There were a total of 15 skeletons found.
Parts of three skeletons were weighed down by stones, the head of the one of them was separated from the trunk and lies between the legs, a stone in the mouth, the hands are bound by a rosary. This was the traditional way to dispose of Vampires in Central Europe.
In the 18th Century there was a HUGE Vampire hunt going on throughout Europe and it was from this that our current belief in Vampires exists.
People throughout Germany,Austria and Cezchoslvakia even went as far as digging up people from graveyards to check if they were vampires.
If they looked healthy and not decomposed or if the fingernails and hair had grown,this was taken as a sign that the poor unfortunate was a vampire and they were burned on a bonfire in the graveyard.
Recent research shows that post mortem changes in bodies show these changes naturally and gases produced in the body can make the body move - the nails and hair look like they are growing but actually its the skin that is shrinking.
This was listed in Magia posthuma, a treaty on the vampires published little after 1700.
This was of course the traditional way of binding the corpse of a Vampire so that it could not rise from the Grave.
Additionaly each body had been pierced with a wooden stake - as was the traditional method of preventing a vampire from rising to suck the blood of the living.
Following the discover of the tomb of the Princess was is the beginning of an amazing Historical and Forensic investigation, which took scientists to the files in the Library of the castle.
After extesive reearch, Rainer Köppl, who is a specialist in the history of the media and the vampires, discovered there the existence of a mysterious female figure, Eleonore von Schwarzenberg.
Could She have been the original of the female vampire that Bram Stoker placed in the first chapter of his Dracula, before removing these first pages at the time of the publication of the book in London in 1897? (Not in the final published editions ..)Which raises the question of why Stoker removed an excellent character from his book - or was it fear of retribution from her family ?
Remains of the Princess Eleonore von Schwarzenberg of Krumau, in any case, make quite worrying discoveries that include very unusual deaths and medical experiments,a mysterious disease, and other stange discoveries in the higher realms of the nobility of Bohemia.
Eleonore was very ill in the latter part of her life and she was rich - very rich.
She was also a heavy smoker ! (tobacco at that time was used as a medicine and was incredibly expensive).
However in an effort to be cured of her ailment she invited the most famous Alchemists and Occultists of the time to her Castle.
They held regular Occult and Spiritualist seances and eventually in an effort to cure her barrenness, she was advised to drink the milk of Wolves.
She had built a Wolf Kennel and the Wolves were milked daily for her.
She had the beautiful Baroque Theatre of Krumau built and Krumau became a real centre of learning with meeting of almost every leading light in the Sciences and Arts.
The disaster struck. In 1732 Prince Adam Franz Karl Eusebius of Schwarzenburg was accidentally shot while hunting with the Emporer Karl VI. Eleonore devoted herself to building up the industry and economy of the region with mines,glassworks,wood and breweries.
Presumably the wolves howling at night upset the villagers.She still drank the Wolf milk every day believing it would make her fertile.
Her death is a mystery and not recorded but her autopsy showed she actually died of cervical cancer.
But she still had a stake through her heart when she was recently uncovered.
Sadly she was mutilated after death with the stake and removal of her head ... She was buried in a cement cage. It remains to be seen. - but WHY was her head cut off - was it just the pack of wolves she kept or was there a darker, sinister explanation ?
Here are pictures from the Tomb.....

Your Favourite Vampire Movie ...
Why are we fascinated by Dracula
After all he was a really unpleasant Prince
The bitng,the drawing of blood somehow simulates extreme passion to some people.. and there are many people even today who say they are vampires and have even drunk blood live on tv.
The act of biting itself is really the ultimate invasion of another persons body and moviemakers have let it rip (so to say !)
Many of the movies made have minor simulated sex and Hammer Films in particular was noted for its 60's films featuring a host of exceptionally well-endowed beauties heaving away at their scantily clad bosoms while Dracula nibbled hungrily at their necks. Comics and magazines feature the dark side heavily just pre-halloween and most cities have troupes of scantily-clad young ladies doing things on the streets they wouldn't dream of doing otherwise. Vampirism seems to loosen the inhibitions and I'm sure a university somewhere would like to pay me to explore the subject in some depth !
So we have a scary subject that tittilates and explores not only peoples fears but also their secret desires ... interesting!

Anne Rice Vampire Books
Three reasons to love Dracula
1 - He'll be round if you don't !2 - The mainstay of a whole generation of Horror Movies
3- The main character inspiring hundreds of books and thousands of Article about the Undead
But seriously, bram Stoker was inspired by the story of Vlad III known as Vlad The Impaler - a very nasty man indeed - but something of a hero in Wallachia where he fought very bravely against the Turks (Ottoman Empire)
To inspire fear Vlad had a very unpleasant habit of impaling his captives - and anyone else who upset him !
