Vampires: Myths, Folklore and the "Real Dracula", Vlad The Impaler
In this episode of the BEST HISTORY PODCAST EVER MADE, Douglas and Hugh cross oceans to time to find you, and boldly become vampire hunters! Join them as they dig up the myths and legends that gave rise to belief in vampires and the undead. They will debunk vampire lore (garlic, crucifixes, sunlight, holy water). They will also introduce the real life historical figure that inspired Irish novelist Bram Stoker to write Dracula: fifteenth century voivoide of Wallachia, Vlad Tepes, AKA Vlad the Impaler. National hero or bloodthirsty monster? You decide! Continue, brave listener - if you dare - but consider this pod a warning to the curious: you will also discover what happened when Hugh overdid it at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
