Its officially October which means Halloween is just around the corner.
So I thought I’d start off the month with a story about a real life vampire who has
come forward to tell us all what his life is like.
I’m going to tell you everything you need to know, here for you on IO.
Welcome back to inform overload, I’m charlotte dobre.
If you need a place to get your news on youtube, smash that subscribe.
Before I get into this video, tell me in the comments below what you’re gonna be for
Halloween.
I’m going to tell introduce you to Andreas Bathory.
By trade, He is a fashion designer and a psychologist, but he is also a real life vampire as in…He
drinks blood and he sleeps in a coffin.
Andreas says that sleeping in a coffin helps him connect with the souls of the dead.
So how does one decide to become a vampire?
Well andreas is from Romania, and Romania is alredy a place with a pretty scary history.
In fact, the idea of a vampire actually came from Vlad Dracu, Aka Dracula Aka Vlad the
impaler.
Vlad the impaler ruled Romania in the year 1448.
Back in the day, Vlad had an infamous reputation in Europe for being incredibly cruel.
According to a catholic monk who managed to escape from his prison, vlad had two monks
impaled to assist them to go to heaven, and also impaled their donkey because it was upset
about its masters death.
Aw vlad the donkey, really?
Damn.
Vlad loved to torture people, and his favourite method of torture was impalement, where he
would stick people on spikes outside his castle.
Vlad’s thirst for blood became famous after the printing press was invented, so lots of
stories about him were circulating around Europe.
Vlad was assassinated when he was marching to battle against the ottomans.
Dracula became the vampire we know today through Bram Stokers 1897 novel.
Stokers named Dracula after Vlad the impaler.
So the fact that Andreas lived around this culture might have influenced him to become
a vampire.
But on top of that, andreas says that four years ago, he had a dream that changed his
life forever.
He says that in this dream, he was visited by a figure.
This figure was a warlord with a taste for blood, and andreas believes that this figure
chose him to spread his message.
Spoiler alert, the warlord that andreas believes visited him was vlad the impaler himself.
Vlad called andreas his son.
After this dream, andreas brought an offering to the place where vlad the impaler was killed,
and vlad apparently told him that his life will change forever.
Now andreas actually lives really close to the tourist attraction known as Draculas Castle,
which is bran castle in Transylvania.
I’ve been there, its pretty cool but vlad the impaler didn’t actually live there,
he’s never even been to bran castle.
That being said it’s a great tourist attraction and I actually documented it in a vlog on
my personal channel, I’ll post a link down below in the comments.
So back to the story, since his dream, Andreas has actually become a pretty prominent vampire.
He was elected the leader of the Ordo Dracul coven.
The Ordu Dracul coven claims that they formed when vlad Dracu was assassinated in the year
1476.
They have been continuing their traditions for the last 600 years.
There are actually quite a lot of people who claim to be vampires, but andreas doesn’t
really interact with many other vampires because they sort of taint the idea of what a vampire
is supposed to be about.
He says that the modern vampire community is full of sexual practices that work against
the nature of existence of the higher self of the vampire.
He was quoted saying, the vampire within doesn’t fulfill itself through sexual deviance, blood
fetishes or BDSM.
This is not the way of the vampire.
Im allowed to imitate him because I am also Romanian ok.
Drinking blood is actually not that safe, you can definitely get diseases from drinking
the blood of other humans.
But andreas says that he actually takes safety measures to ensure that he is completely safe
when he drinks blood.
Instead of just attacking his victims and drinking their blood, andreas’ victims come
willingly.
These donors are nicknamed, black sawns.
Apparently there are quite a lot of black swans, so many in fact that they flock to
andreas.
He hardly ever has to ask to drink someones blood.
The donors offer up their medical history to ensure that the transaction is safe.
But not everything about being a vampire is as easy as finding a blood donor.
Apparently when Andreas went public about his vampirism, he got quite a lot of jealous
online haters.
When it comes down to it, when you were chosen by Dracula to be a vampire, you gotta do what
you gotta do.
