Werewolf Trials, Real Life Dracula, & Where Zombies Actually Come From | Bailey Sarian

When Bailey said "Transylvania, by the way, which exists" I literally lost it because I live here and the thought of people thinking we live in a forgotten vampires land is WILD 😭🤣

Please do a dark history on voodoo! I would love to learn more about the history behind it and how it's still thriving in the US (and other places if you have time)

Her saying "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a werewolf" I literally squealed. I loved that so much. You're amazing Bailey!! ❤😂

As someone who is Romanian, I can tell you the reason why we still refer to Vlad as our hero is because he unified the regions together that are now Romania. Our country would not exist without him. Additionally, our history tells us that Vlad tortured and impaled people who were criminals not innocent people. There were also other members of his line that were also named Vlad so sometimes the acts of one Vlad and the other get confused because they have the same name.

You should do a dark history on “mermaids.” Absolutely terrifying

Bailey is the Bill Nye of history. They need to show her videos in high schools 😂 I learn more from her than I did from my textbooks and teachers combined back in school lol

3:40 The Epic of Gilgamesh is also the oldest written story. Yes please do a dark history on paper! Love you Bailey❤️‍🔥

Bailey (name of my daughter) you have gotten me through so much this year. I've been battling cancer and youve been such an amazing source of happiness and distraction for me. I really appreciate as an disabled albino who has indigenous blood running through me, I appreciate that you bring to light all of the things that have been hidden far too long. You deserve a huge reward for enlightening so many

Vlad the Impaler is a very controversial ruler, some people condemn him for his cruelty, but others praise his reign. His reign was said to be one of the most prosperous and safe reigns from medieval Romania (Wallachia then) because people (and enemies) feared him soo much. There is a folk rumor that says no one dared to steal anything during the time when he was the ruler just because they were afraid of him and because of this, the wells from villages had silver cups that you could drink from that no one dared to steal. Thank you for this episode, Bailey! xoxo from Romania 🧛‍♂

How could drift off after 5 minutes in history class but can focus entirely for an hour with Bailey?!! Always! She’s queen 🖤🧡🖤🧡

I would love a whole episode about Vlad the Impaler, it‘s much more interesting the way you tell the story than what we learned in school. Btw, I live in Transylvania. 😂❤️ Greetings from Romania ❤️

The Manananggal! Finally, a Filipino monster featured here! 👍🏼

It's so interesting how many times I use facts from this series in conversation. Love this series!!

Actually, Dracul means the devil in Romanian. But due to Latin (and probably lack of knowledge at the time) dragon was associated with the word for devil. The castle you showed of Vlad the Impaler is Poienari Citadel. It's actually older than Vlad's rule, but he most likely either developed it or at least used it. It has a bit of a scandalous love story associated between Vlad (married) and Katherina. Traditionally, Bran Castle is considered Dracula's Castle. Both are stunning in their own right. Romanians are quite fond of him actually because yes, he was cruel, but only to invaders, thieves etc. He's remembered as a fair leader. Back in the day we had a scorched earth policy when it came to invaders, poison wells, torch fields etc. Love your content, bye❤

"If you've got a hole, she's gonna tongue it" I literally cackled😂

Seriously... Here I am, writing my PhD thesis on monsters in literature, losing my inspiration ... And then Bailey shows up, talking about monsters. Inspiration comes back immediately 😄😄😄

Can we just take a minute to be proud of how far bailey has come 🥺forever my favorite YouTuber💕

Romanian girl here from the land of Vlad 😂 I have visited his castle and it's awesome but nothing rly spooky there. Would looove if you would do an episode on him! Love your videos Bailey, you're my favorite youtuber 🥰

In the novel Dracula could go out during the day, he just wasn't as powerful. Stoker got the name Dracula and maybe some historical information from the history of Vlad the Impaler but Stoker was also inspired by prior vampire stories like The Mysterious Stranger (Stoker ripped off a lot from this short story) and Carmilla.

So coincidental how she drops this story about monsters. Its so relevant to todays times. Almost like history keeps repeating itself. I genuinely wonder if humans will forever be monsters or will we ever find our humanity again.
