(Warning, the following post will contain graphic details about actual events, or details that may or may not be concluded as fact. Read at your own risk.)Now that we have that out of the way, I would like to delve back into something that has made "Interesting Life" more on the darker things of life, besides that I haven't written anything but nonsense for awhile. But
things get slow on occasion so oh well... >.>"
Ever since Halloween was over, I really haven't written anything about ghosts, or spirits, or the undead as much as I would like. And if you have been reading for awhile, you'll know what I mean, if not, I do suggest you start going back and reading during the Autumn season for the last two years or so. Now, ever since I was at the homeless and living at the Mission as a disciple I once talked about people were always scared of something, some about death, others about failure, or being alone.
Now, I used two examples about this subject and became uncomfortable about the fact that the men seemed very keen while I used them. The first example I used was Vlad The Third, or also known as Vlad the Impaler for impaling his victims on long wooden stakes, as a show to basically demoralize his enemies once they went to the northern or southern border of the Ottoman empire, or now known as modern day Turkey.
It was rumored that Vlad himself drank his victims blood, and dined among the corpses in a calm and rather feelingless manor. What is more likely on any rumors were used as a way to make Vlad himself more of an unstoppable, or immortal man and make any who wanted to do evil second guess themselves. It was also the Irish writer, Bram Stoker, who partially used Vlad as a influence for his book Dracula, still a national best seller to this day.
The second example I used was the infamous Elizabeth Bathory, from the renowned and rather famous Bathory family. Who was an Hungarian Noble, a very smart and well educated woman who was rumored to be a sadist, murdering and torturing young girls for her own pleasure, and bathing in their blood to keep herself young and beautiful. Which rumors report that she remained a very attractive woman to the day of her death, even after coming under house arrest because of her activities becoming known. It was also rumored that her own husband was sometimes apart of her tortures and taught her many new things, such as having women stripped down, covered in honey, and left outside to be bitten by insects until they died from dehydration and starvation.
Over 300 witnesses were called to a trial once the rumors were investigated and evidence used to extradite Bathory for her crimes. Even though because of her high status as a Countess from the renowned Bathory family at the time, she was never officially put on trial and made to pay for her crimes. The last four years she was put into a series of rooms and was bricked inside where only slits for ventilation and food were used.
Often people are scared, or afraid due to circumstances out of their natural control and boundary, this is why Elizabeth bathed in her victims blood in order to stave off death. And why Vlad impaled his victims, to show all around him that he was a man of a very meticulous nature, to show all that he was in control at all times, even if inside he did not feel the same way.
Fears themselves are a natural part of human nature, but some take their fears to far, and do anything to make that fear to go away. The only way to make that fear to go away is to believe in something higher then themselves, God himself or perhaps Buda. But whatever you think never underestimate that once the lights go out, the darkness will come out, and it will want to play... -Stray.
