A Real Victorian Vampire Story

In 1909, Victorian occultist Dr. Franz Hartmann published An Authenticated Vampire story in The Occult Review. In it, Hartmann relates how villagers in a remote part of the Carpathian Mountains burned down a certain castle after they suspected a recent wave if a fatal illness was due to vampirism.

That led to a friend sharing his knowledge and personal experiences of that castle, which included the death of a certain countess during a riding accident, a mysterious painting, and a ghost.

True? Read An Authenticated Vampire Story by Dr. Franz Hartmann online and decide for yourself.
