Corvin Castle is one of the biggest and most impressive castles in Europe. It is located in the city of Hunedoara on the Hungarian-Romanian border. Even though Corvin Castle looks like it’s coming straight from a fairy tale book, its history is quite dark. Its history tells of a place of torture and death.  A torture chamber can be found in the dungeon and apart from some very interesting torture devices, it houses a bear pit as well. Prisoners who were sentenced to death were thrown in this pit and eaten alive by the hungry bears below. Tourists are told that Vlad Tepes, known as Vlad the Impaler or the real-life inspiration for Dracula, was held prisoner for 7 years at Corvin Castle. Because of this story, the Castle was the source of inspiration for Castle Dracula in Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror novel “Dracula”. In this episode of the True Hauntings podcast we go to Romania where we will explore the legends and ghost stories of Corvin Castle and find out whether this is the Castle where Dracula’s spirit continues to terrorise people.
