Dracula WAS real

Dracula/Vlad the Impaler was a real person, myths about vampires aside. The other three are pure fantasy.

No, I don't think we have sightings of BigFoot in PH, Fly. But the closest comparison of BigFoot in PH is what we called "Kapre", a very hairy man who lives in the trees.

We also have other folktales like "Tikbalang" (half-human, half-horse) or "Tiyanak" (a vampire in the form of a baby).

Many of us think Dracula is a monster, but Romanians think of him as a hero.

Very interesting Po, I’m headed back there in September, I am gonna ask about and search for a tiyanak in Ermita.

Like Brock said, Dracula was based on a real person. Problem is, he didn't drink blood.

Dracula was a real person, more commonly known in medieval Romania as Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia or Vlad the Impaler.



Most likely real -- El Chupacabra or something similar.
