The Moosham Castle The Cruelest Trial In Witch Hunt History

When we think about the European witch hunt, we think about the mediaeval period, but what if I told you one castle hosted children as its primary victims?

The Moosham Castle Purpose

The Austria spur castle can sit over a Roman fortress’ foundation. A spur castle is a term used to indicate a mediaeval fortress resting on the spur of a hill or mountain as a defence mechanism.

Another example is the Poenari Castle in Romania, which belonged to Vlad the Impaler. Usually, the only weakness of such a castle resides where the hill links to the spur from which it projects. It also means that the spur castle would have three sides by steep hillsides for the best protection.

Vlad The Impaler An Introduction To Horror

When thinking about the most horrific names in human history, we can think of quite a few without effort. But one common denominator remains, Vlad the Impaler and here’s the introduction to horror.

The Heart of Horror

The origins of Vlad the Impaler are not known by everyone. Not many people wish to search for the darkest minds of human history.

I am one of those ‘freaks’ who devour history from people who spread terror most uniquely and strategically, preferably centuries ago. And Vlad the Impaler, as an introduction to horror, is the right place to start.

The Odd Origin of Vampires In History

Vampires have been part of our folklore for hundreds of years. The belief in a being that subsists on blood has timelessly fascinated us. But where did vampires come from? Let’s explore the odd origins of vampires in history.

The First Origin Of The Bite

The odd origin of vampires in history—let’s dig in.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word vampyre, as we know it today, dates back to the eighteenth century. However, the name itself became part of the languages of France and Germany some time before its first appearance in English.

It is also interesting to note that the English language borrowed the term vampyre from France, and possibly from Serbia as well. Many countries across Western Europe had a term, a word, or at least a description that meant vampire.
