Draculas and Vampires - Truth and nothing but the truth about them

Many of you would have thought umpteen number of times to find out actually if vampires and dracula do hold even a cent of truth to the ancestral stories that we keep hearing about or sometimes even watch movies based on the same characters.
Do vampires really exist or they did in long back past historical days? Same question about dracula must have led some enthusiasts in this area to be deprived of their night time sleeps.
What is the truth about them? Or if not the whole of the truth then may be a bit of it which can keep our interest in them A.L.I.V.E??
There is too much to be known about them before actually starting to believe in their existence. They did exist in past this is the first fact that you might feel delighted to know of. I will pour some justifications very shortly in this very article to support my judgement. But before that you may still keep on wondering that ok they existed in past, fine. But what now? Dont they exist in the modern age of humanity, dont they stand against the human empire and anarchy to keep the world a place only inhibited by one race, either theirs or only ours.
The first justification in favour of my statement is that there really does exist a castle of count of dracula. This castle is located in Sinaia, Bucharest in Romania. This castle can be reached from Bucharest Coanda International Airport by a drive to Sinaia in the beautiful and charming Carpathian Mountains. While you will need to cross over these mountains to visit the famous castle, it is important to know that you must have a halt at a hotel in Sinaia as reaching the castle would be longer and stressing if tried to be completed in single hop. From Sinaia you can start early next morning, cross the Carpathian Mountains and enter into Transylvania where the Castle can be seen from afar. A scary but beautiful pic of the castle is here to mesmerize the enthusiuastic eyes.



Once in Transylvania, this Bran castle would be between Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains. Funny fact is that Count of Dracula or Vlad Drakule Vlad, the Impaler stayed there only once for a very short while in sometime around 1419-1420 and he was not the owner of this castle by any means :) However the short while he stayed there was full of people dying of impaleness and loss of blood from their body, and especially the female folk! The mysterious powers of Dracula to hypnotise and attract the girls and ladies is also as true as the existence of this castle. The long canine teeth however are a myth. His teeth were longer than a normal human being but not that extraordinary rhino horn like as people would have heard of.
After Transylvania which direction he forayed in is less known and is less evident so far. If I come across some solid proofs for more of his adventures, I will surely write another post just focussing on it.
Next you would have heard of frankenstein and how he utilized electrical power to grow the empire of vampires in a castle called frankenstein castle is more of a misconception. His existence too is true but utilizing electrical power for growth of empire: false!
Next in line many of the young folklore of this post's readers would be becoming impatient to know something more about the famous attractive like hell male vampire named Edward and his female interest of love, Bella. You want to know truth about them, then be informed that both of them and that werewolf Jacob are complete and absolute work of fiction by Stephanie Meyer :) They did not. do not and will never exist on earth. Oops sorry for breaking your heart but I am more of a truth-seeker and find it difficult to promote or proliferate false knowledge.
There are few more aspects of Vampir-ism that I want to cover but for as of now, I am going to have to stop while giving your mind a chance to realize and recognise and accept the fact that Count of Famous Dracula or Vlad, the Impaler is an extraordinary truth in the history of mankind.
