🦇 What if the world's most famous vampire was inspired by a single footnote?
Sometimes, the smallest discoveries create the biggest legends.
While researching his iconic novel, Bram Stoker came across a reference to Vlad Țepeș and the name Dracula in a book about Wallachia and Moldavia.
That seemingly insignificant detail may have helped transform a fictional vampire into one of the most recognizable monsters in literary history.
But how much of the real Vlad the Impaler actually made it into Stoker's creation?
🎙️ Join historian Steven J. Rolfes on ParaTruth: Reborn as we uncover the fascinating research behind Dracula and separate historical fact from centuries of myth.
🩸 Do you think Dracula would have become as legendary without that name?
