An archaeologist who has been part of the restoration and excavation effort at Turkey's Tokat Castle believes he has uncovered the dungeons where Vlad the Impaler was once held.

Ibrahim Cetin tells the Hurriyet Daily News that the two dungeons that were found were "built like a prison." And while he deems it "hard to estimate" which room the man who served as Dracula's inspiration was held in, "he was around here," he says.

Lol. Nice! Where is gerrie these days?

[chrisser]

two dungeons that were found were "built like a prison."

Is that different than a prison "built like a dungeon"?

[plain talk]

Vlad used to impale mice for sport while held in that prison.

I recommend they do the research in strong sunlight, to be safe.

There might even be some Transylvanian workplace safety standards on this matter.

Ol' Val was one nasty diabolical character who killed people, stuck a pole up through their body, drained the blood then he's drink it......although Muslim countries also do this I don't recall they drink their blood...but some chew on their hearts, such as was shown and reported in the news.

[TigersEye]

I guess they wanted to differentiate between dungeons built like tropical grass huts.

[longfellow]

Hurray put a stake through hitlary’s heart!

although Muslim countries also do this I don't recall they drink their blood.

It was said that Jomo Kenyatta's men drank menstrual blood before engaging in their killing frenzies against white settlers in the 1960s. Obama's father was a Kenyan Muslim, so perhaps it is a tradition.

Could be...either or... there are some real sicko’s out there in the name of religion...and not.

Hindu's place some sort of substance on the frontal parts of their idols, representing it's menstrual cycle, that people put their fingers in and swipe some of it to put on their foreheads....that's the ‘red’ dot thing we see so often in the middle of their forehead.

Oh great, next he's going to open the coffin.......where have I seen that before?

My only advice is, don't let your female assistant wear high heels in case she has to run away..........and make sure your flashlight has fresh batteries.

And f’Petessake, if you hear the background music get really creepy DON’T GO DOWN THE BASEMENT STAIRS!!! You’d think these guys had never watched a horror movie before.

Thanks dware. Vlad the Impaler's last words were, "that bites".

[mass55th]

"Thanks dware. Vlad the Impaler's last words were, "that bites"."

And here I thought he said: "Now that's something I can really sink my teeth into."

He was taken and imprisoned by the Turks at the age of 11...If you consider the Muslim attitude towards young teenage boys, it’s not hard to extrapolate what horrific treatment most likely befell him, which could certainly inspire that particular form of vengeance. Vlad’s impalings weren’t merely a pole “up through the body,” it was a long, pointed pike inserted into a particular orifice, after which it was hoisted upright allowing gravity to work the pike in, slowly...
